Synopsis
Big Data is the process of analysing high volume, high velocity data by advanced computational methods that produce actionable knowledge. A system that suggests actions to a user is one definition of Artificial Intelligence (AI). These approaches have thrown up surprising, often counter-intuitive results, in many industries especially in on-line retail for example. Other industries have achieved a clear bottom line benefit out of Big Data (and AI). Since the last meeting in October 2019 much has happened. In the third running of this meeting the presenters will update on what is working for chemistry and what is not.
Attendees
This conference is intended to be a high level overview of the state of the art in the field for chemists interested in learning more, and for decision makers who want an update on what is going on (as opposed to an in depth conference by and for technical specialists). The previous meetings attracted a well-informed audience that was open to discussion and debate.
This event will be of interest to a wide range of scientific disciplines including project leaders, VPs and Directors of Medicinal, Agrochemical, Materials and Computational Chemistry. Technical experts in the field who want a broad update and to contribute to a vibrant meeting and discussion are also welcome.
