Speaker: Yibin Xu, Ph.D. Affiliation: National Institute for Materials Science, Japan Abstract: Materials informatics (MI) is expected to accelerate the process of materials design and development with the increasing amount of reports based on materials data and machine learning. Materials big data is fundamental to MI. To construct materials big data, we face challenges of data capture, data evaluation, data exchange, etc. Some of these challenges are expected to be solved by progresses of information technology, while some of these…
