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.

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...

Using custom atom and bond invariants with fingerprint generators – RDKit blog
More fine-grained control over the details of how a fingerprint is generated.

Excellent new paper (with code) by my former colleagues Steven Kearnes and Patrick Riley describing a procedure for associating confidence levels with regression model predictions in drug discovery. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Ordinal Confidence Level Assignments for Regression Model Predictions
We present a simple method for assigning accurate confidence levels to molecular property predictions from regression models. These confidence levels are easy to interpret and useful for making decisi...

There's a new #RDKit blog post introducing some new functionality that I'm really excited about: doing efficient substructure and similarity searches in very large chemical libraries:

#ChemSky
Introducing Synthon Searching – RDKit blog
Searching unreasonably large chemical spaces in reasonable amounts of time.
