Spotlight: Discovery Lab

The Discovery Lab studies technology, infrastructure and methods to develop intelligent services for researchers, focusing on finding and interpreting scientific literature, to formulate hypotheses, and to interpret data. The lab operates at the crossroads of Knowledge Representation, Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing.

Join us for the Discovery Lab Spotlight event, where we will learn more about the lab’s philosophy is to drive scientific discovery using machine intelligence. We will hear from their researchers on how they study and develop technology, infrastructure and methods to support the current transformation of science. What data-driven activity are currently being worked on, what intelligent toolings are being used for searching and reading scientific literature, to formulate hypotheses, and to interpret data.
