AI3SD Winter Seminar Series #6: Semantic Web Technologies in Chemistry: Talk 2 - Dr Colin Batchelor

This video forms part of the AI3SD Winter Seminar Series 20/2021.

This video is the second talk in the sixth seminar of the series: Semantic Web Technologies in Chemistry.

Ontologies, Natural Language, Annotation and Chemistry – Dr Colin Batchelor

Abstract: Ontologies have a wide range of uses beyond the semantic web. If you have had a productive conversation with an intelligent assistant such as Siri or Alexa, then you have used an ontology, perhaps without realising it. In this talk I talk about some of the varied ways ontologies are used in practice and what we’ve done at the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Bio: Colin Batchelor is a Senior Data Scientist at the Royal Society of Chemistry. After doctoral work in theoretical chemistry with Mark Child at Oxford he was a technical editor at the RSC before a succession of roles working on, amongst other things, natural language processing, cheminformatics, machine learning and ontologies. He is currently the chair of the InChI working group on organometallic and coordination structures.
