Our objective in this program is to work on the leading edge of scientific research in predictive science, uncertainty quantification, machine learning, and artificial intelligence by conducting and supporting fundamental research as well as developing leading edge open source software that is free and available for all to use. In 2022 we released 25 updates to our various open-source software packages, and added a new software package, pox, to our free, open-source library. Finally, we have integrated new capabilities into our software that has been developed through our fundamental research, and those software packages were downloaded approximately 335,000,000 times in 2021 (averaging 27,921,855 downloads per month across all of our packages). Release and development versions of the software are publicly available for all to use, free of charge, through the Python Package Index, and our GitHub page. Additionally, UQ Foundation partnered on a number of fundamental research papers that were submitted and were under peer review in FY22, including: "Predictive Scale-Bridging Simulations through Active Learning", "Efficient Learning of Accurate Surrogates for Simulations of Complex Systems", and "Improving the efficiency of learning-based error mitigation". We also partnered on the publication of several scientific papers, "Progress toward improving accelerator performance and automating operations with advanced analysis software", Proceedings of the North American Particle Accelerator Conference, NAPAC2022, "Machine Learning Changes the Rules for Flux Limiters", Physics of Fluids 34, 085136, (2022), and "Scientific Software Development", in Probabilistic Numerical Methods - From Theory to Implementation, Dagstuhl Seminar 21432, Dagstuhl Reports, 11(9) (2022). The UQ Foundation also contributed to nine (9) Los Alamos National Lab Technical Reports on experiments under uncertainty, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Representatives from UQ Foundation also participated in scientific seminars and workshops, including Quantum Techniques in Machine Learning, DMMSC ML Workshop, CM4QC Group Seminar, UQ Tools Workshop at LANL, and the North American Particle Accelerator Conference. 0 0 EDUCATION PROGRAM - During the course of 2022 Uncertainty Quantification Foundation (UQF) made significant strides in the development of our Education Program, working to build the infrastructure required to deliver live, virtual, instructor-led classes, workshops, and courses covering subjects in machine learning, data science, uncertainty quantification, and artificial intelligence. With the internal work that was completed in 2022, UQF expects to launch our Education Program to the general public in Q4FY2023. This programming will run from an introduction to scientific programming up through advanced topics including optimal learning and artificial intelligence, however, we have structured the curriculum so that this programming will be accessible to anyone with a familiarity with computer programming and basic statistics. 0 0 ADVISORY SERVICES PROGRAM - Through our Advisory Services program the Uncertainty Quantification Foundation works to broaden the application of uncertainty quantification (UQ) across many sectors of industry and government, working with organizations to provide scientific and technical expertise on their projects. We believe that by demonstrating the value of uncertainty qualification through these services, we can create an increased demand for practitioners in the field of UQ and drive greater focus on developing robust uncertainty qualification programs at universities and within graduate programs. In 2022 we were invited to present at the Groningen Earthquake Workshop in the Netherlands on Earthquakes and predicting seismic activity. 0 13 13 MICHAEL MCKERNS CHAIRMAN & VICE PRESIDENT 20 0 0 0 EVAN MCKERNS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 20 0 0 0 MICHAEL CONNELL DIRECTOR & SECRETARY 5 0 0 0 TIM SULLIVAN DIRECTOR 5 0 0 0 ANDY TERRELL DIRECTOR 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 DE EVAN MCKERNS 305 N ELMWOOD AVE OAK PARK IL 60302 7085577562 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 7607 20600 375 104033 3457 136072 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7607 20600 375 104033 3457 136072 0 136072 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 136072 89519 1 0.27281 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Interest Paid;265|Corp Registration and Annual Reports;269^Total;534^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Accounts Payable;879|Credit Card Balances;734|Interest Payable;21|Business Line of Credit;1131^Total;2765^
