The Learning Triangulum stands as a testament to the power of interdisciplinary collaboration, aiming to redefine our understanding of learning systems through a unique fusion of perspectives from neuroscience, immunology, and artificial intelligence. This ambitious project sets a clear trajectory towards groundbreaking discoveries, with the potential to influence a wide array of applications from education and healthcare to AI development and beyond.

Objectives

Foster Interdisciplinary Collaboration: To build a bridge between the fields of neuroscience, immunology, and artificial intelligence (AI), facilitating a unique dialogue and collaboration that leverages the strengths and insights of each discipline to advance our understanding of learning systems.

Develop a Joint Perspective: Craft a landmark publication that synthesizes insights from Pitt and CMU on learning systems, aiming for publication in a leading scientific journal. This initiative not only signifies the consortium's commitment to shared knowledge but also sets the stage for pioneering research at the intersection of biology and technology.

Secure Significant Grants: To aggressively pursue funding opportunities, notably targeting a major NSF Convergence Grant, which will provide substantial financial support to realize the consortium's vision and mission.

Community Engagement and Knowledge Dissemination: Through the organization of summer workshops and a fall symposium, the project aims to engage the broader scientific community, inviting thought leaders to contribute their insights, thereby fostering a rich environment of intellectual exchange and collaboration.

Pilot Research Funding: To provide crucial support for innovative pilot projects under the banner of the Pittsburgh Learning Triangulum, propelling forward novel research initiatives that could redefine understanding in the field.

Ambitious Funding Endeavors: Strategize and submit compelling proposals to major funding entities such as the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, ARPA-H, Wellcome Leap Funding, and the Allen Institute, with the objective of securing substantial financial backing for future research.

Goals

Interdisciplinary Breakthroughs: Leverage the interdisciplinary approach to unlock new insights and breakthroughs in understanding learning, both in biological and artificial systems.

Advancing Cutting-Edge Research: To position the consortium's work at the forefront of research that intersects biology and technology, pushing the boundaries of current knowledge and capabilities.

Building a Collaborative Community: To establish a vibrant network of leading minds dedicated to significant scientific advances, fostering a culture of collaboration and mutual enrichment.

Transformative Problem-Solving: Identify and tackle the most challenging problems in learning systems whose solutions would not only be transformative for the field but also applicable in a broader context, potentially revolutionizing how we understand and interact with learning systems across disciplines.
