WPI-NanoLSI Special Computational Workshop on Digital Solutions on Feb. 8, 2023

Overview

Digital data management, advanced analysis, and machine learning

Modern research efforts benefit from a rapidly increasing ability to generate a wealth of experimental and modelling data. Recent developments in data science, machine learning, and automation provide powerful opportunities to leverage this research data. To use scientific data as a resource beyond its initial publication, database infrastructures and digital workflows must be established to collect, store, organise and analyse the data, with records of how it was produced, and how it was processed or transformed afterwards. Good management of research data is of critical importance to knowledge-led discovery and innovation, and is increasingly embedded in the requirements of research journals and funding bodies. It is a prerequisite step in the application of data science and machine learning techniques in research. In this workshop, we highlight some examples of modern data management and discuss case studies involving the application of machine learning to scientific data. Emphasis is placed on applications to Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) in general and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in particular.
