DESCRIPTION:The aim of the workshop is to explore what it means to build 
 “cross-experiment multi-modal” foundation models in a landscape where 
 the relevant scientific data can be subject to a range of policies from 
 “open data” to experiment-restricted (either proprietary or limited di
 stribution/raw) data as well as the use of simulations in this context. Si
 milarly\, both the data and simulation come with a range of latency/embarg
 o\, “initial use vs reuse/reinterpretation” and experiment governance 
 structures. The goal of this workshop is to explore the technical\, policy
  and cyberinfrastructure questions that arise when pursuing such shared mo
 dels.\nSpecific questions:\n\n\nWhat does it actually mean in practice to 
 build a “foundation model” across experiments with different detector 
 designs\, data formats\, and physics goals?\n\n\nWhat does it mean in prac
 tice to do pre-training on “diverse data” in a shared environment vs f
 ine-tuning in a restricted (experiment) environment?\n\n\nHow is benchmark
 ing of the models done? How are the models validated when issues arise spa
 nning the pre-training and restricted fine-tuning?\n\n\nWhat are the techn
 ical and cyberinfrastructure implications?\n\n\nWho owns the resulting mod
 els and what are the implications given different experiment governance st
 ructures? (And data ownership by international collaborations?)\n\n\nIf in
 itially trained on a set of current and archived data\, how do these model
 s evolve going forward as new data appears from new experiments/upgrades/d
 etector configurations?\n\n\nIf industry is involved in parts of this proc
 ess\, how do we avoid issues related to vendor lock-in and/or retain the 
 “public” expectation that underlies most of the government funding of 
 fundamental science?\n\n\n \nLive Notes\n \n\n\n\n\nThis event is sponso
