Today, we had a kick-off meeting for the collaboration between research groups at Georgia Tech and the University of Florida under the supervision of Dr. Arthur Porto, Dr. Jose Fortes, and Breanna Shi, PhD Student. The discussion focused on the design and implementation of an AI infrastructure for biology as part of the ongoing BioCosmo project. Key components of this infrastructure include a data ingestor, machine learning model, vector database, and frontend interface.
Thomas Deatherage, one of the main researchers from the summer cohort, provided a summary of the milestones and deliverables achieved thus far, and briefly addressed challenges related to computational resources and server management infrastructure. Based on the collective insights, we all agreed to integrate a new feature leveraging an LLM layer as a query controller. The tasks were then assigned to collaborators, and consensus on the tools and communication strategies to be used.
