AI3SD Network+ Conference Report 2019

The AI3SD Network+ (Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Intelligence for Automated Investigations for Scientific Discovery) gathered researchers from a wide range of disciplines for a two-day conference in Winchester, UK. The Network+ is funded by EPSRC, hosted by the University of Southampton and aims to bring together researchers looking at how cutting edge artificial and augmented intelligence technologies can be used to push the boundaries of scientific discovery. The conference opened with a half-day workshop on AI Ethics for Scientific Discovery, emphasising the need to place ethics centre stage in AI decision-making. The conference continued with a multidisciplinary blend of presentations and poster sessions, including interim reports from Network-funded projects and reports from EPSRC AI feasibility studies. In this conference report you will find brief accounts of each of the sessions, along with links to slides and presenter Q+As, where available
