【AI人工智慧講座】AI for Science｜講者：馬維英教授 智慧產業研究院首席科學家

• 講座時間：113年11月20日 10:00~11:30
• 講座地點：圖書館1F多功能學習區
• 講座主題：Al for Science

In recent years, rapid advancements in Al-particularly in generative AI and large language models (LLMs) -- have led to significant progress in fields such as natural language processing and computer vision. This success has motivated researchers to leverage AI for scientific discovery and innovation across disciplines like biology, chemistry, energy, and materials science. For instance, generative AI is transforming biology through advancements in molecule generation, drug discovery, and protein design. Additionally, Al's application in designing new chemical compounds and materials has the potential to transform traditional methods, creating a paradigm shift. In this talk, I will present some of recent works from my teams and discuss how Al is poised to shape the future of scientific research and related industries.
