Polymer Discovery Using Big Data and Analytics

Novel materials can transform industries and societies. Approximately 1000 materials science articles are published every day, a number far beyond the human bandwidth to read. At IBM Research -- Almaden, we are exploring AI technologies to help human researchers collect, extract, organize, and explore this wealth of materials science data. In this talk we will focus on polymeric materials, explore the polymeric materials data challenge, and share some of the data science strategies we have used at IBM to speed polymer R&D.
