Design systems to interface with AI pipelines:
research and development
research and development
On going and deepening collaboration for systems development.
research and development
Use of lower-level tools and libraries for specific neural-network training in image analysis tasks.
research and development
Use IBM available AI tools for object / scene recognition and develop framework to connect to medical data.
research and development
Develop backend opensource infrastructure to use framework on industry standard cloud systems.
medical compute... in the cloud
definite need for data mobility and centralization...
with compute being "free" to process data where-ever it might naturally collect...
CHRIS...
CHRIS is a bio-medical data workflow manage that allows easy and intuitive collection, analysis, and sharing of data between parties.
many data sources... many compute sources...
via here
connect data here
to here...
and compute!
overview / goals
how do I run this on the cloud?
how do I run this on "someone else's computer"?
system topology
Main web server local data repository
remote compute nodes
data source (e.g. in hospital PACS)

Research and Development
University partnerships
Boston area computer science and engineering
Mentoring students on Cloud computing
Academic partner on the Massachusetts Open Cloud -- largest "open" cloud for general computation in the US
RedHat partnership
RedHat is active partner developing CHRIS infrastructure to the MOC
CHRIS as platform to help foster community and opensource development in the cloud using this paradigm
RedHat interested in helping use CHRIS to be a platform for "hack-a-thons" based on openswift, kubernetes, etc.
DL partnerships
GE Healthcare and cloud computing and GE deep learning products
IBM high performance computation and access to underlying engines/libraries
NVidia openlabs
MOC
