Discussion of Papers

• We interactively discussed the FAIR metadata for MLCommons Science paper MLCommons Science FAIR Concept Paper
• We discussed goals of paper which included telling MLCommons what we were doing; becoming huggingface for Science; getting funding; making AI for Science more systematic. The industry links in MLCommons are important to Science
• After discussing AI to improve AI as in running a data center, we introduced a new paper drafted by Christine after meeting mlcommons_data_energy_usage_paper
• Additional citations on Energy issues from Gregor
• Safety-first AI for autonomous data centre cooling and industrial control
• Towards Energy Aware Scheduling for Precedence Constrained Parallel Tasks in a Cluster with DVFS
• Power-Aware Scheduling of Virtual Machines in DVFS-enabled Clusters
• Efficient Resource Management for Cloud Computing Environments
• Towards Energy Aware Scheduling for Precedence Constrained Parallel Tasks in a Cluster with DVFS | IEEE Conference Publication

Any Other Business

• We discussed difficulties in using MLCommons benchmarks stressing importance of documentation
• Funding for operation too little
