This training workshop and hackathon is intended to help upskill scientists in AI and Machine Learning techniques for Chemistry and provide some challenges to test out their new skills. This event will run over two days with lunch and dinner provided on day 1 and lunch provided on day 2. Day 1 will begin with some training courses to add to or refresh your knowledge, followed by creating your teams and choosing which challenge you wish to address! There will be mentors on hand to provide advice during the hacking, and there will be pizza provided and the use of the wide lane facilities until 8pm. On day 2, the morning will be spent hacking and after lunch the groups will come together to present their work!
On the 11th September 2019 AI3SD Hosted a Network+ Town Meeting and Funding Workshop at the University of Southampton Wide Lane Sports Ground in Eastleigh. This purpose of this meeting…
This meeting has been organised to provide useful information about both the AI3SD-FundingCall2 and funding call applications in general. There will be talks from experts in the areas of IP for AI, there will be a top tips for writing your funding application session where we will provide advice on strengthening your applications based on previous experience of reviewing funding applications. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions about our second funding call and to find other people / institutions to collaborate with. We strongly encourage all interested parties to come along, as we hope that this event will not only answer any questions you have, but offer an opportunity to match up companies with academic institutes for collaboration on projects proposals. All questions and answers will be written up and added to our Funding Call Page as an FAQ.
On the 18th and 19th July 2019 AI3SD teamed up with the Dial-a-Molecule Network, Directed Assembly Network and the University of Leeds to run a meeting for AI/Machine Learning for…
Website Link: http://generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk/dial-a-molecule/ai_ml_chem_disc/ Description This is a joint networks event between AI3SD, Dial-a-Molecule, Directed Assembly Network and the University of Leeds, and it will be held at Weetwood Hall in Leeds on 18-19th July 2019. This residential event aims to bring together stakeholders with different backgrounds, e.g.academic/industry, researchers/data owners, and chemists/engineers/computer scientists, to discuss applications of AI and Machine Learning in Chemical Discovery and Development. A series of structured discussion sessions over the two days will be carried out to form a general consensus on some key objectives and milestones to deliver the promised impacts of these important tools within the remit of the three networks. The discussions are also expected to lead to new and unusual collaborative project proposals which may address the more immediate objectives. This event is free to attend and registration will include all refreshments, lunches on both days, a networking dinner on the 18th and, if required, one nights’ accommodation at Weetwood Hall. Numbers are strictly limited. We expect demand to be high and we want to make sure we have a good balance of interests amongst our attendees. Therefore we ask all those interested to submit a short application on the Leeds AI_ML event application form by the closing date of 17th May. Applications will be assessed and applicants will be notified of the outcome within 4 weeks of submission.
Designing chemicals, discovering new drugs, discovering materials and indeed all aspects of scientific discovery are all tasks that are highly data driven, and semantic web technologies are key to enabling researchers to deal with high levels of data in a useful and meaningful way. Semantic technologies facilitate representing data in a formal, structured, and interoperable way, and enable data to be reasoned over to infer potential relationships. In this workshop we seek to explore the ways in which semantic web technologies can be used to drive predictions in chemical design, including using Machine Learning and other AI techniques to exploit semantic links in knowledge graphs and linked datasets. There will be several keynote talks, an expert panel chaired by Professor Jeremy Frey, and a chance for breakout discussions. Lunch will be provided and the day will end with networking drinks.
On the 19th March AI3SD hosted an AI for Materials Discovery Workshop at the University of Southampton. This was a very well attended workshop, with over 60 participants attending across…
Materials play a key role in modern society and the growing demands for functionality, selectivity, re-usability, efficiency and environmentally sustainable which all place huge demands on the chemistry. The use of Computational Chemistry and more generally Artificial and Augmented Intelligence (AI) to predict structure and function provides new possibilities in using theory to drive innovation and discovery.
On the 6th March AI3SD teamed up with the Medicines Discovery catapult to run a workshop at Alderley Park Conference Centre on AI in Drug Discovery & Drug Safety. This…
