Transfer learning boosts chemically accurate neural network potentials for organic molecules.
In applications such as molecule design or drug discovery, it is desirable to have an algorithm which recommends new candidate molecules based on the results of past tests. These molecules first need to be synthesized and then tested for objective properties. We describe ChemBO, a Bayesian optimization framework for ge…

Automating molecular design using deep reinforcement learning (RL) holds the promise of accelerating the discovery of new chemical compounds.
