New York Scientific Data Summit (NYSDS) is a premier annual conference that brings together researchers and thought leaders from academia, national labs and industry to exchange ideas and foster collaboration focused on data-driven science and technology. Co-hosted by Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Institute for Advanced Computational Science (IACS) at Stony Brook University, NYSDS 2025 will take place on September 11–12, 2025, in the SUNY Global Center in New York City.

NYSDS 2025 will spotlight artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and robotics – fields currently at a pivotal point with transformative impacts on science and technology. From accelerating computationally demanding simulations to discerning signals from noisy data, AI/ML has become an integral part of the scientific workflows. Despite many advances, challenges remain to ensure that AI/ML applications are reliable, explainable and trustworthy.

Robotics, a growing field that couples AI with physically actuated mechanical bodies, has seen increased interest in areas spanning science, technology and manufacturing. The need for real-time decision-making and control, along with the intricate morphology of robots, makes robotics an intriguing application of AI, advanced computing and optimization.

NYSDS 2025 will feature four main tracks:

1. Generative and Agentic AI: This track highlights innovative research in generative models and agentic AI systems, emphasizing autonomous reasoning and decision-making for scientific discovery and real-world problem solving.
2. Robotics and Embodied Intelligence: This track focuses on the latest research in robotics and embodied intelligence, highlighting advances in perception, control, learning and interaction for autonomous physical agents in real-world and scientific environments.
3. AI Applications: This track showcases practical implementations and interdisciplinary applications of AI technologies that drive innovation and impact across diverse scientific domains.
4. AI Hardware and Infrastructure: This track explores advancements in AI-specific hardware, computational architectures and software infrastructure designed to accelerate and scale AI workloads in scientific research.

Each track will feature invited presentations, contributed talks, posters and panel discussions to cover advances from both industry and academic institutions. NYSDS 2025’s informal and interactive format aims to promote discussions among attendees to encourage cross-disciplinary collaborations.

Anyone interested in presenting at NYSDS 2025 is invited to submit a four-page short paper based on a topic aligned with at least one of the summit tracks. Students and early career researchers are especially encouraged to submit their work for consideration. Submitted papers will be reviewed by the NYSDS Program Committee. Accepted papers will be considered for either a short oral presentation or a poster. Accepted papers also will be published as Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Proceedings.
