DESCRIPTION:Prof. Anubhav Jain\, Lawrence Berkeley Nat. Lab.\, USA\nHistor
 ically\, both data and knowledge (connections and conclusions based on dat
 a) in the materials domain has been recorded mainly as text\, figures\, or
  tables in journal articles. Unfortunately\, this vast treasure trove of 
 knowledge is difficult to make use of since it requires manually reading a
 rticles\, which is impossible to do on a large scale. In this talk\, I wil
 l describe some of our efforts to extract information from the research l
 iterature automatically based on natural language processing techniques. T
 he talk will summarize our most recent progress towards extracting both in
 dividual data items as well as "knowledge" (e.g.\, proposed applications o
 f a chemical composition) in various areas. I will show how such technique
 s have been used to suggest chemical compositions for study and also touc
 h upon our efforts in automatically extracting data from figures. Finally\
 , I will describe how this effort can feed into other efforts for machine 
 learning as well into other materials databases.\nBio: Anubhav Jain is a S
 taff Scientist/Chemist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory focusing o
 n new materials discovery using high-throughput computations and machine l
 earning. Some of his current projects include helping develop the Material
 s Project database of calculated materials properties\, applying data mini
 ng to solar photovoltaics research through the DuraMat consortium\, screen
 ing for novel materials for various applications such as thermoelectrics a
 nd catalysis\, and applying natural language processing techniques to capt
 ure knowledge from the research literature. He received his B.E. in Applie
 d & Engineering Physics from Cornell University and his PhD from the Massa
 chusetts Institute of Technology in Materials Science & Engineering.
