Join Philip Nelson, Director of Software Engineering at Google, as he talks about Google Accelerated Sciences​, a translational research team that brings Google's technological expertise to the scientific community. Recent advances in machine learning have delivered incredible results in consumer applications (e.g. photo recognition, language translation) and are now beginning to play an important role in biological science. Taking examples from collaborations in the biochemical, biological, and bio-medical fields, Philip will focus on how their team transforms science problems into data problems and applies Google's scaled computation, data driven engineering, and machine learning to accelerate scientific discovery.

When: Thursday, January 12, 2-3 p.m.
