DERIVING GLYCOLYSIS. "The biological system that the researchers used to test ABE is glycolysis, the primary process that produces energy in a living cell. The ability to generate mathematical equations from scratch is what sets ABE apart from Adam, the robot scientist developed by Ross King and his colleagues at the University of Wales at Aberystwyth." https://lnkd.in/eGii4i4 View in LinkedIn

SEA OF DNA. "HGT might be considered a by-product of the presence of substantial amounts of DNA in the environment combined with genetic processes such as transformation and bacteriophage infection that leads to gene transduction." (HGT = horizontal gene transfer). https://lnkd.in/dSemZpD View in LinkedIn

MACHINE SCIENCE. "We have confirmed Adam’s conclusions through manual experiments. To describe Adam’s research, we have developed an ontology and logical language. The resulting formalization involves over 10,000 different research units in a nested treelike structure, 10 levels deep, that relates the 6.6 million biomass measurements to their logical description. This formalization describes how a machine contributed to scientific knowledge." (Ross King). https://lnkd.in/dJJ9HmD View in LinkedIn

SCIENCE BY ROBOTS. "The scientists in Britain, led by Ross D. King, a professor at Aberystwyth University, built a robotic scientist they named Adam. Using artificial intelligence, it came up with a hypothesis about genes in baker’s yeast and the enzymes produced by the genes. It then designed and ran experiments to test its hypothesis. Using the results, it revised its hypothesis and ran more experiments before arriving at its conclusions." https://lnkd.in/djSTtXn View in LinkedIn

HISTORICAL FIRST. "While researching yeast-based functional genomics, Adam became the first machine in history to have discovered new scientific knowledge independently of its human creators." https://lnkd.in/dB_3QTR View in LinkedIn

VERACITY TESTS. "Meant to replace human intuition eventually when it comes to the search for buried patterns, the Data Science Machine as it is called, managed to outperform human teams in three data science competitions." https://lnkd.in/dpR5gRZ View in LinkedIn

DEEP FEATURE SYNTHESIS. "The algorithm the machine uses to achieves this, called Deep Feature Synthesis, went up against human teams in three data science competitions. Out of 906 teams, the Machine beat 615." (MIT's Data Science Machine). https://lnkd.in/dG_krDG View in LinkedIn

DATA SCIENCE MACHINE. "Max Kanter, a master’s student in computer science, and his advisor, Kalyan Veeramachaneni, a research scientist at MIT’s computer science and artificial intelligence laboratory – have created the Data Science Machine to find patterns and select which data points are relevant, without the problem-solving help of humans." https://lnkd.in/dG_krDG View in LinkedIn

DRUG DEVELOPMENT. "Cheaper faster drug development validated by the repositioning of drugs against neglected tropical diseases. Eve integrates and automates library-screening, hit-confirmation, and lead generation through cycles of quantitative structure activity relationship learning and testing. Using econometric modelling we demonstrate that the use of AI to select compounds economically outperforms standard drug screening." https://lnkd.in/dhx5ZNk View in LinkedIn

EVE DISCOVERS DRUG. "Ross King from the University of Manchester in England and his team say Eve found a chemical called TNP-470 effectively targets an enzyme that is key to the growth of Plasmodium vivax, one of the parasites that causes malaria. “I didn’t expect to actually find any useful compounds, I thought we’d just demonstrate the AI,” https://lnkd.in/d7vKW9D View in LinkedIn
