DESCRIPTION:Prof Sergei Kalinin\, Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences 
 (CNMS)\, Oak Ridge National Laboratory\, USA\nThe EPFL Open Science initia
 tive invites you to this presentation by Sergei V. Kalinin\, director of 
 the Institute for Functional Imaging of Materials at the Oak Ridge Nation
 al Laboratory\, USA.\n\nABSTRACT\nScience is now at the brink of transform
 ational change brought by the big data and machine learning technologies. 
 Technologies such as Facebook\, Google\, or Yelp\, has drastically changed
  everyday life over last decade. Yet this transition is just beginning in 
 the academic and consequently R&D worlds\, largely due to the high heterog
 eneity of the tasks and goals in research community compared to the everyd
 ay life that preclude top-down developments and necessitates data backgrou
 nd for domain scientists. In his presentation\, Sergei Kalinin will discus
 s several examples of challenges and opportunities presented by open data 
 and open codes. This transformation further calls us to re-evaluate the wa
 ys how we do science - individually and as a community. The tried and true
  concepts of scientific publication that emerged over last century will re
 main the mainstream of scientific process\, but are poised to adopt signif
 icant changes\, as enabled by availability of effective means to share raw
  and curated data\, information\, and codes\, availability of new tools fo
 r automatic text generation and analysis\, and emergence of social media p
 latforms. Sergei will further discuss how data and paper mining can affec
 t our understanding of scientific world\, and building the top-down pictur
 e via citation and semantic analysis.  \n\nSpeaker's Bio:\nSergei V. Kali
 nin is the director of the Institute for Functional Imaging of Materials a
 t the Oak Ridge National Laboratory\, distinguished research staff membe
 r at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) as well as a theme
  leader for Electronic and Ionic Functionality on the Nanoscale at the sam
 e institution. He also holds a Joint Associate Professor position at the D
 epartment of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Tennes
 see-Knoxville\, and an Adjunct Faculty position at Pennsylvania State Univ
 ersity. His research interests include application of big data\, deep dat
 a\, and smart data approaches in atomically resolved and mesoscopic imagin
 g to guide the development of advanced materials for energy and informatio
 n technologies\, as well as coupling between electromechanical\, electrica
 l\, and transport phenomena on the nanoscale.\nWebsite
