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.

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.

This is event is brought to you by AI3SD and Medicines Discovery Catapult. Drug discovery is a complex and long-term scientific investigation involving interdisciplinary research methods coupled with large heterogeneous datasets. The research and data space in this area is vast, and we believe that the use of AI and machine learning technologies can help spur on advances in this domain. This workshop has been designed to draw together those with a keen interest in using AI and machine learning technologies in the domain of drug discovery, both to aid future drug discovery, and to help improve drug safety. At AI3SD we firmly believe that interdisciplinary collaboration is the key to many of these advances, and so welcome anyone working in the technical or scientific ends of this domain, as well as those already working in an interdisciplinary fashion. There will be keynote talks interspersed with general group discussions, and working groups around the key topics that arise. There will also be an opportunity to tour the labs at Medicines Discovery Catapult. Lunch will be provided and there will be plenty of time for networking, and the day will conclude with a prosecco reception.
