We just preprinted a fresh study on molecular machine learning on OOD molecules 🧠

Using joint modeling, we could detect distribution shifts, estimate prediction reliability, and capture meaningful molecular patterns!

Welcome to the other side!

Very excited to share our review on "The Chemistry and Biology of the Tetrodotoxin Natural Product Family", where we discuss their potential for the development of analgesics, structure-activity relationships on NaV channels, biosynthetic hypotheses and chemical syntheses: tinyurl.com/ye6nwnwu.

Effectiveness of molecular fingerprints for exploring the chemical space of natural products - Journal of Cheminformatics Natural products are a diverse class of compounds with promising biological properties, such as high potency and excellent selectivity. However, they have different structural motifs than typical drug...

Going beyond SMILES enumeration for generative deep learning in low data regimes Data augmentation can alleviate the limitations of small molecular datasets for generative deep learning, by ‘artificially inflating’ the number of instances available for training. SMILES enumeration...

The Jungle of Generative Drug Discovery: Traps, Treasures, and Ways Out "How to evaluate de novo designs proposed by a generative model?" Despite the transformative potential of generative deep learning in drug discovery, this seemingly simple question has no clear answer...

If you use generative #DeepLearning for molecule design, check out our latest work, where we perform a large scale analysis (~1 B designs!) and find ‘traps’, ‘treasures’ and ‘ways out’ in the jungle of generative drug discovery.

Welcome Barbara! 👋

Thank you for attending! 🙂

Thanks @fragrisoni.bsky.social for a great talk at the University of Amsterdam! Learned a lot about how to apply AI effectively to molecular structure generation. Strong start to the #ChemAI events this week

Learning on compressed molecular representations Last year, a preprint gained notoriety, proposing that a k-nearest neighbour classifier is able to outperform large-language models using compressed text as input and normalised compression distance (...

Fresh off the presses:
In "Learning on compressed molecular representations" Jan Weinreich and I looked into whether GZIP performed better than Neural Networks in chemical machine learning tasks. Yes, you've read that right.

TL;DR: Yes, GZIP can perform better than baseline GNNs and MLPs. It can ..

Hey Ben, ML for drug discovery here 🙂
