How to build on sand: machine learning on noisy data to design concrete

Noise is the enemy of machine learning. Noise in the training data leads to uncertain predictions. However, noise can contain physical information, so we introduce a machine learning architecture that can extract crucial information out of noise itself. We apply this formalism to specify two concrete mixes: one has high resistance to carbonation, and the other has low environmental impact. The proposed mixes are experimentally validated. So watch this webinar to hear how Alchemite improves accuracy, requiring up to 85% fewer experiments to finalize a formation, saving you time and money.

Sustainable products and processes with machine learning

Hear a case study from sustainability innovator Plantsea, learning how they are creating products based on a natural seaweed polymer to replace petroleum-based plastics and avoid microplastic pollution. See a demonstration of the Alchemite software from Intellegens, showing how ML can be used to reduce carbon footprint and energy consumption, minimize waste, and design formulations and processes to avoid use of chemicals that are harmful to human health or the environment.

How machine learning can accelerate oligonucleotide process development

Find out about a new software solution, developed and validated in a two-year collaborative project involving Intellegens, CPI, and leading pharma/biotech partners, that applies the power of machine learning to enable development of oligonucleotide manufacturing.

Can Agentic AI transform chemicals and materials R&D?

Agentic AI – the use of autonomous, tool-using AI systems with Large Language Models (LLMs) as decision engines – is emerging as a transformative force for R&D. Rather than isolated models, agentic systems coordinate and automate workflows across diverse software and data ecosystems. In this webinar, we share early insights from industry discussions and show results from our development work in this area at Intellegens.

How Fuchs apply machine learning to lubricant formulation development

Learn from the experience of Fuchs, the world’s largest independent lubricant manufacturer, as it applies machine learning to accelerate R&D. Dr Richard Bellizzi explains how Alchemite™ machine learning has aided experimental design and the development of improved lubricant formulations.

Training machine learning models with real experimental and process data

Machine learning accelerates innovation in chemicals, materials, life sciences, and manufacturing by delivering deep data insights, guiding experiment, and finding new solutions to complex optimization problems. But just getting started can be difficult. There are many challenges in building a machine learning model from real, messy, experimental or process data. In this webinar, we outline some of those difficulties and how they are overcome in the Alchemite Suite software.

Introducing Alchemite™ Suite

Apply Alchemite™ machine learning to academic research

Alchemite™ is a novel machine learning method originally developed in the group of Dr Gareth Conduit at the University of Cambridge. The new Alchemite™ Academic Programme makes access to Alchemite™ affordable and easy for academic researchers. In this webinar, with live Q&A, Gareth Conduit introduces the method and provides examples of its application to academic research in materials science, chemistry, battery research, and life sciences.

Case studies of machine learning for sustainable technologies

Guest speaker: Claire Hatfield, Johnson Matthey

Designing and developing new and improved products at pace is challenging when responding to rising costs, supply chain and regulatory constraints and the need to meet sustainability targets. Johnson Matthey presents case studies of the use of machine learning in designing catalyst formulations for clean air and life science applications. Benefits include increased process yields and reductions in experimental time and cost.
