Synopsis
Artificial Intelligence is experiencing a renaissance in the development of new methods and practical applications to ongoing challenges in Chemistry. Following the successes of five annual “Artificial Intelligence in Chemistry” meetings starting in 2018, we are pleased to announce that the Chemical Information & Computer Applications Group (CICAG) and Biological & Medicinal Chemistry Sector (BMCS) of the Royal Society of Chemistry are once again organising a conference to present the current advances in AI and machine learning in Chemistry. The meeting will be held over two and half days and combine aspects of artificial intelligence and deep machine learning methods to applications in chemistry. The programme will include a mixture of keynote talks, panel discussion, oral presentations, flash presentations, posters and opportunities for open debate, networking and discussion.
This year meeting has changed format to two and half days and will include workshop on first day, please keep checking website for updates.
Workshop on Monday 16th September
One of the key pieces of feedback from the previous meetings was the desire for an introduction to AI/ML for Chemistry. For scientists new to the area the acronyms and terminology can be a significant barrier. For those who are already involved in AI/ML the whole scientific field is expanding so rapidly it is becoming impossible to keep abreast with latest developments and understand the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches. So, the 2024 meeting will include a half-day workshop prior to the main meeting to provide this introduction. We are delighted to announce that workshop will be led by Andrea Volkamer and Pat Walters.
Who should attend
This meeting will be of interest to scientists of any level of experience from academia and industry
