Registration is available by visiting the above-referenced URL. Trends in delivering faster and more effective research discovery Simone Taylor, Publisher, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Emerging tools for research collaboration and analysis are driving change in improving access to scientific knowledge. This talk will discuss trends in innovation to enhance the discoverability, integrity, and reproducibility of research, and assess evolving analytics and metrics for monitoring impact. 3D and Virtual Reality Deni Auclair, CFO and Senior Analyst, DeltaThink 3D printing and scanning are just beginning to make their way into scientific discovery. 3D scanning is an efficient method of collecting data and statistical analysis of complex forms, while 3D printing has advanced medicine in areas such as prosthetics and pre-surgical models for planning operations. More recently, 3D printing is being used to view and understand complex scientific concepts in research articles. Along those same lines, immersive virtual reality (IVR) provides virtual environments for scientific visualization. The hope is that IVR will be used to visualize patterns, trends, and anomalies in data sets far beyond what can be seen with conventional 3D desktop displays, as well as to convey the data sets? meaning. Deni will provide a high-level overview of how these tools and techniques are currently used and what the future may hold for their use in scientific discovery and dissemination of research. Content Presentation and Delivery to Support Artificial Intelligence Jake Zarneger, Chief Product Officer, Silverchair The assimilation, synthesis, and re-presentation of large amounts of raw knowledge and data is one of the hottest areas of information product growth?as demonstrated by Watson, Siri, Alexa, Cortana, Waymo, etc. But as ?magical? as these systems can be, they are still highly dependent on the quality and consistency of the content and data that feed their algorithms. This talk will explore where content and data publishers fit in the ecosystem of AI, and techniques publishers can use to make their content more desirable and effective for the machine ?readers? of today and tomorrow.
