We are the AI3SD Network+ (Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Intelligence for Automated Investigations for Scientific Discovery). The network+ is funded by EPSRC and hosted by the University of Southampton and aims to bring together researchers looking to show how cutting edge artificial and augmented intelligence technologies can be used to push the boundaries of scientific discovery. We launched in December 2018, and this conference marks the end of our first year. This is a two day event with a mixture of keynote talks from experts in the different areas of AI for Scientific Discovery, and discussions around different research areas. There will be dedicated time for networking and we will be implementing a smart badge system whereby attendees can mark their badges according to whether they are looking for a collaborator, employment, job candidates, PhD students etc. We will report on the activities of AI3SD over the last year, including the workhops and hackathons we have run and attended, and there will be an opportunity to hear from the projects we funded in AI3SD-FundingCall1. On the evening of the 18th there will be drinks and networking in the Winchester Science Centre followed by a pre dinner talk by famous Science Communicator Steve Mould! This will be followed by a formal conference dinner at the Holiday Inn.

This is event is brought to you by AI3SD and Medicines Discovery Catapult. Drug discovery is a complex and long-term scientific investigation involving interdisciplinary research methods coupled with large heterogeneous datasets. The research and data space in this area is vast, and we believe that the use of AI and machine learning technologies can help spur on advances in this domain. This workshop has been designed to draw together those with a keen interest in using AI and machine learning technologies in the domain of drug discovery, both to aid future drug discovery, and to help improve drug safety. At AI3SD we firmly believe that interdisciplinary collaboration is the key to many of these advances, and so welcome anyone working in the technical or scientific ends of this domain, as well as those already working in an interdisciplinary fashion. There will be keynote talks interspersed with general group discussions, and working groups around the key topics that arise. There will also be an opportunity to tour the labs at Medicines Discovery Catapult. Lunch will be provided and there will be plenty of time for networking, and the day will conclude with a prosecco reception.

The representation of molecules as connected graphs and the application of graph theory has been very useful in defining aspects of molecular structure, molecular energy levels and identifying unique topology features. In the workshop we seek to explore the ways in which molecular graphs can be used to drive property and other predictions using Machine Learning and other AI techniques. All ideas welcome – come and discuss and debate and come up with new plans! There will be three keynote talks, and a chance for participants to present their areas of research and ideas. Lunch will be provided, and the day will end with networking drinks.
