NSF Center for Big Learning (CBL) is under the auspices of the Industry & University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) Program of National Science Foundation. With the vision of creating intelligence and leveraging collective wisdom from academia, industry, and governments, the CBL consortium focuses on large-scale deep learning (DL), intelligent platforms, and DL-enabled big data applications in a broad spectrum of disciplines. CBL is composed  of three academic sites across the country and a large number (50+) of industry partners: University of Florida (UF, East), University of Missouri at Kansas City (UMKC, Central), and University of Oregon (UO, West). Faculty members (60+) at these three sites have the comprehensive expertise, covering key research themes and application disciplines. The consortium is sponsored by NSF and industry members over the world.

The Vision

Creating intelligence towards intelligence-powered society.
