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.
