Machine Learning in Chemistry: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence
About this ebook
Yet a perception remains that ML is obscure or esoteric, that only computer scientists can really understand it, and that few meaningful applications in scientific research exist. This book challenges that view.
With contributions from leading research groups, it presents in-depth examples to illustrate how ML can be applied to real chemical problems. Through these examples, the reader can both gain a feel for what ML can and cannot (so far) achieve, and also identify characteristics that might make a problem in physical science amenable to a ML approach.
This text is a valuable resource for scientists who are intrigued by the power of machine learning and want to learn more about how it can be applied in their own field.
About the author
Hugh Cartwright is a computational chemist, now retired. He spent almost three decades as a member of the Chemistry Faculty at Oxford University in the U.K., where his research focussed on the application of Artificial Intelligence related methods to problems in science, using Artificial Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms, Self-Organising Maps and Support Vector Machines.
He has written or edited several texts on the use of Artificial Intelligence in science, including Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Chemistry, and Using Artificial Intelligence in Chemistry and Biology: a Practical Guide.
