Abstract :

The volume of data in material science is rapidly growing, with the data growth rate of doubling every year in many contexts. It is expected that recently announced materials genome program that targets the development of new computational infrastructure to accelerate materials discovery and deployment will further accelerate this trend. This talk will give a brief overview of the fundamental challenges that Big Data pose to scientific research in material science. The research includes a variety of data science disciplines such as statistics, machine learning, data mining, data modeling, data indexing and searching. This talk will describe some major concepts and approaches with more detailed examples from data text mining.
