Chemical Space

Chemical space encompasses the vast, theoretically possible set of molecules, posing a significant challenge for exploring and identifying those with desirable properties. Current research focuses on developing and applying advanced machine learning models, including generative flow networks, transformers, and graph neural networks, to efficiently navigate this space, often incorporating techniques like Bayesian optimization and active learning to guide the search. These efforts aim to accelerate drug discovery, materials science, and other fields by enabling the rapid identification and design of molecules with specific functionalities, significantly impacting the speed and efficiency of scientific research and technological development.
