Learning a Local-Variable Model of Aromatic and Conjugated Systems

Article available at: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acscentsci.7b00405. Matthew K. Matlock, Na Le Dang, and S. Joshua Swamidass Abstract: A collection of new approaches to building and training neural networks, collectively referred to as deep learning, are attracting attention in theoretical chemistry. Several groups aim to replace computationally expensive ab initio quantum mechanics … Continue Reading ››

Update: Modeling Epoxidation of Drug-like Molecules with a Deep Machine Learning Network

This is a minor update to figure 10 in a recently published paper: Original Paper. The revised figure displays both the RMSE between each method and perfectly scaled prediction, and the R2 values for the Pearson correlation of the best-file line for that method. As measured by RMSE, the three methods have the same relative value as in … Continue Reading ››
