Covid and AI/ML/DS Bharat Bhargava Purdue University Bhargava Purdue research Contributing to Department of Defense on The Science of Artificial Intelligence and Learning for Open-world Novelty (SAIL-ON) COVID is new novelty Science of Artificial Intelligence and Learning for Open-world Novelty (SAIL-ON) by Ted Senator, Darpa project manager The Science of Artificial Intelligence and Learning for Open-world Novelty (SAIL-ON) program intends to research and develop the underlying scientific principles, general engineering techniques, and algorithms needed to create AI systems that act appropriately and effectively in novel situations that occur in open worlds. The program’s goals are to develop scientific principles to quantify and characterize novelty in open-world domains, create AI systems that react to novelty in those domains, and demonstrate and evaluate these systems in a selected DoD domain. Purdue and COVID in fall semester Cost benefit analysis for opening Purdue in 2020-2021 Approximately 46.0% of new students receive some form of financial aid, the majority of which is scholarships and grants. 44551 students in 2019 I do not have much data. I believe 60% of our students have some kind of financial help and they can use it unless they enroll. So Purdue can get those easily. International students (10,000, 22%) want to come at any cost if they get the visa ( 50% grad students, 4400), 34.5 percent are out-of-state students I would think about 25,000 students are guaranteed. Purdue needs to work on the rest to get them pay fees. Purdue in-state tuition and fees are $9,992; out-of-state tuition and fees are $28,794 Impact of Purdue on Local Economy Purdue’s economic impact in Indiana totals more than $2.1 billion According to the latest briefing by the Office of Institutional Research, Assessment and Effectiveness (OIRAE), Purdue’s role as an employer and educator translated to 22 percent of all economic activity in the Greater Lafayette Area in fiscal year 2016. Purdue University Revenue by Category for FY 2019 Tuition and Fees, Net, 40% State Appropriations, Noncapital, 14% Contracts and Grants, 14% Auxiliary Enterprises, Net, 8% Investment Income, 6% Gift, Noncapital, 4% Other, 14% Risk factors and Mitigation Risk to funds from Donations, State Funds, Auxiliary services such as conferences, food sales, housing income Tuition The dangers to most college students from COVID-19 are extremely small. Why seriously compromise their education at this critical stage in their lives? Interfering with that socialization process may be desirable for health reasons, but we
