TorsionNet: A Reinforcement Learning Approach to Sequential Conformer Search

NeurIPS 2020poster

Molecular geometry prediction of flexible molecules, or conformer search, is a long-standing challenge in computational chemistry. This task is of great importance for predicting structure-activity relationships for a wide variety of substances ranging from biomolecules to ubiquitous materials. Subs…

Active Learning for Non-Parametric Regression Using Purely Random Trees

NeurIPS 2018poster

Active learning is the task of using labelled data to select additional points to label, with the goal of fitting the most accurate model with a fixed budget of labelled points. In binary classification active learning is known to produce faster rates than passive learning for a broad range of setti…
