Scietific Goals We aim to itegrate the scietific method with 21 st cetury automatio techology. We aim to make scietific discovery more efficiet: cheaper, faster, better. Our visio is that withi 10 years may scietific discoveries will be made by teams of huma ad robot scietists. This collaboratios will produce scietific kowledge more efficietly tha either could aloe.
Scietific Goals We propose to develop a framework for semi-automated ad automated kowledge discovery by teams of huma ad robot scietists. This framework will itegrate ad advace: kowledge represetatio, otology egieerig, sematic techologies, machie learig, bioiformatics, ad automated experimetatio.

AdaLab: Recostructio of cotext-specific molecular etworks about yeast diauxic shift Itegratio of molecular etwork data, to recostruct active otology ad selectig experimets
Key challeges ad potetial impact of the project
Key Challeges 1 The proposed AdaLab eeds to be: autoomous ad perceptive to huma requiremets (its scietific collaborators). able to cotiuously lear, adapt ad improve i the real world complex eviromet of scietific research. capable of cotiuous cycles of scietific hypothesis formatio ad experimetatio that will improve its scietific kowledge (models).
Key Challeges 2 Itegratig a systems approach, with the research ivolvig collaboratio betwee experts i: robotics, machie learig, logical ad probabilistic iferece, sematic techologies, ad yeast microbiology. Itegratig high-level reasoig about scietific kowledge with the cotrol of low-level robotic movemets to execute experimets. Develop a protocol for commuicatio betwee huma ad robot scietists.
Key Challeges 3 Scietific kowledge is iheretly ucertai. Therefore withi the AdaLab framework we eed to develop Bayesia methods that make ifereces ad pla experimets uder ucertaity. Scietific kowledge is best represeted usig logic. To itegrate logic with probabilities we will use statistical relatioal learig, ad develop a otology for represetig ucertai kowledge. The success of the AdaLab framework will be objectively determied by quatitative measuremets of the differet system compoets, ad the scietific kowledge geerated.
Key Outputs A AdaLab demostrated to be greater tha 20% more efficiet at discoverig scietific kowledge (withi a limited scietific domai) tha huma scietists aloe. A ovel otology for modellig ucertai kowledge. A efficiet commuicatio mechaism betwee huma ad robot scietists. New machie learig methods for the geeratio ad efficiet testig of complex scietific. Novel biomedical kowledge about cell biology relevat to cacer ad ageig.
Potetial Impact Sciece is the greatest geerator of ecoomic wealth (through developmets i techology). Sciece is the greatest driver of better health (through developmet i biomedical sciece). The AdaLab framework will cotribute to realisig Europe s 2020 strategy for smart, sustaiable ad iclusive growth
Potetial Impact Itelliget laboratories have the potetial to speed up the techological progress. Such a icrease would lead to more scietific discoveries, better techological solutios, ad ew products. For example ew better drugs could be delivered to the market faster ad cheaper. Curretly, ~25Billio is spet aually withi the EU o pharmaceutical research. Most of this is spet o late-stage trials (which are less ameable to automatio), but we coservatively estimate that ~10% is ameable to the AdaLab framework.
