Project Description:

a. Project Name: Information Science / Data Science – Chemical Formulas and Compounds Internship

b. Scope: Find information on how to extract genomic sequences and bio-chemical

information from source documents. The intern will work on the backend side to build a parser

for chemical formulas and compounds to feed into the system.

c. Project Description: Our AI is working on mass-data ingestion and we would

like to explore new routes to identify genomic sequences in our data sources to

extract them without blurring/altering the data source.

i. Some initial orientation about machine-learning and genomics can be

found here: https://codete.com/blog/machine-learning-genomics/

ii. We typically extract data for our AI from scientific publications and

patent documents. These will be the target data sources.

iii. Just running an OCR over the documents (if they are PDFs) will destroy

the sequences or change their meaning/content. We need to find a way to

persist the extracted data in a database/library/collection which our

algorithms can then query.

d. Form of Delivery: Periodic updates by email and a final report on your findings

in Word format

Business Purpose: We need this information to improve the precision of our AI.
