Abstract: Machine Learning and data science is poised to revolutionize chemical research. As the filed of machine learning has expanded, a variety of methodologies have become commonplace, such as kernel ridge regression, Gaussian process regression, and neural networks. In this talk, I will outline the basics of machine learning, the basics of these methodologies, and when these methodologies can and should be applied. Additionally, I will discuss the work my research group has been doing in applying these methodologies to quantum chemistry.
Bio: Jason Goodpaster is an assistant professor of chemistry and chemical physicas at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. His research focuses on the develpment of new quantum chemistry methods and applying these methods to a wide variety of chemical systems including: metal organic frameworks, inorganic catalysis, surface enhanced ramen spectroscopy, and electrochemistry. Professor Goodpaster obtained his PhD at Caltech and performed his postdoctoral work at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.
