The emergence of conversational AI has revolutionized the way we interact with technology, and its impact on High- Performance Computing (HPC) has yet to be fully explored. Over the past decades, mathematicians, linguists, and computer scientists have dedicated their efforts towards empowering human-machine communication in natural language and automatic speech recognition. While in recent years the emergence of virtual personal assistants such as Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant has pushed the field forward, the development of such conversational agents remains difficult with numerous unanswered questions and challenges and combining conversational AI and HPC together presents its own set of challenges. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and software/hardware designers from academia, industry and national laboratories who are involved in designing conversational AI for HPC, and how it can be leveraged to improve efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility for end-users.
The objectives of this workshop will be to share the experiences of the members of this community and to learn the opportunities and challenges in the design trends for conversational AI for HPC. Through presentations, and discussions, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the potential for conversational AI to revolutionize HPC and the challenges that need to be overcome. The workshop will provide attendees with the opportunity to learn from experts in the field and explore how conversational AI can be applied to their specific areas of interest within HPC. The workshop is designed for HPC researchers, practitioners, and developers who are interested in exploring the benefits of conversational AI and its potential applications.
