Creating Training Data for Scientific Named Entity Recognition with Minimal Human Effort

June 8, 2019
Author(s)
Roselyne B. Tchoua, Aswathy Ajith, Zhi Hong, Logan T. Ward, Kyle Chard, Debra Audus, Shrayesh N. Patel, Juan J. de Pablo, Ian Foster
Scientific Named Entity Referent Extraction is often more complicated than traditional Named Entity Recognition (NER). For example, in polymer science, chemical structure may be encoded in a variety of nonstandard naming conventions, and authors may refer

Valence, loop formation and universality in self-assembling patchy particles

February 7, 2018
Author(s)
Debra J. Audus, Francis W. Starr, Jack F. Douglas
Patchy particles have emerged as an attractive model for phase separation and self-assembly in globular proteins solutions, colloidal patchy particles, and molecular fluids where directional interactions are operative. In our previous work, we extensively

Towards a Hybrid Human-Computer Scientific Information Extraction Pipeline

November 27, 2017
Author(s)
Roselyne B. Tchoua, Kyle Chard, Debra Audus, Logan T. Ward, Lequieu Joshua, Juan J. de Pablo, Ian Foster
The emerging field of materials informatics has the potential to greatly reduce time-to-market and development costs for new materials. The success of such efforts hinges on access to large, high-quality databases of material properties. However, many such

Polymer Informatics: Opportunities and Challenges

September 15, 2017
Author(s)
Debra J. Audus, Juan J. de Pablo
We are entering an era where large volumes of scientific data, coupled with algorithmic and computational advances, can reduce both the time and cost of developing new materials. This emerging field known as materials informatics has gained acceptance for

A Hybrid Human-Computer Approach to the Extraction of Scientific Facts from the Literature

June 28, 2016
Author(s)
Roselyne B. Tchoua, Kyle Chard, Debra Audus, Jian Qin, Juan J. de Pablo, Ian Foster
A wealth of valuable data is locked within the millions of research articles published each year. Reading and extracting pertinent information from those articles has become an unmanageable task for scientists. This problem hinders scientific progress by

Field-based simulations of nanostructured polyelectrolyte gels

August 11, 2015
Author(s)
Debra J. Audus, Glenn Fredrickson
Nanostructured, responsive hydrogels composed of oppositely charged triblock copolymers with charged end-blocks and neutral, hydrophilic mid-blocks in aqueous solution were recently discovered. Due to electrostatic interactions, the end-blocks microphase

Interplay of particle shape and suspension properties: a study of cube-like particles

March 20, 2015
Author(s)
Debra J. Audus, Ahmed M. Hassan, Edward J. Garboczi, Jack F. Douglas
With advances in anisotropic particle synthesis, particle shape is now a feasible parameter for tuning suspension properties. However, there is a need to determine how these newly synthesized particles affect suspension properties and a need to solve the
