TALK TITLE: Artificial intelligence to explore multi-modality biomedical data and accelerate knowledge discovery

ABSTRACT:

The rapid accumulation of molecular data motivates the development of innovative approaches to computationally characterize sequences, structures and functions of biological and chemical molecules in an efficient, accessible, and accurate manner. 

We address this vital need by developing holistic software platforms that can generate features from sequence and structural data for a diverse collection of molecule types. Our freely available and easy-to-use Al platforms can generate, analyze and visualize various representations of biological sequences, structures, and ligands. 
With the assistance of Al tools, users can encode their molecular data into representations that facilitate the construction of predictive models and analytical studies. 
In my talk, I will also illustrate how such Al tools can be leveraged to accelerate and paradigm-shift the data-driven research in bioinformatics ,computational biology, and biomedicine.
