Pursuing a Prospective Perspective

Steven Kearnes

Retrospective testing of predictive models does not consider the real-world context in which models are deployed. Prospective validation, on the other hand, enables meaningful comp…

Energy-based View of Retrosynthesis

Ruoxi Sun, Hanjun Dai, Li Li +2

Retrosynthesis -- the process of identifying a set of reactants to synthesize a target molecule -- is of vital importance to material design and drug discovery. Existing machine le…

Machine learning on DNA-encoded libraries: A new paradigm for hit-finding

Kevin McCloskey, Eric A. Sigel, Steven Kearnes +16

DNA-encoded small molecule libraries (DELs) have enabled discovery of novel inhibitors for many distinct protein targets of therapeutic value through screening of libraries with up…

Decoding Molecular Graph Embeddings with Reinforcement Learning

Steven Kearnes, Li Li, Patrick Riley

We present RL-VAE, a graph-to-graph variational autoencoder that uses reinforcement learning to decode molecular graphs from latent embeddings. Methods have been described previous…

Tensor field networks: Rotation- and translation-equivariant neural networks for 3D point clouds

Nathaniel Thomas, Tess Smidt, Steven Kearnes +4

We introduce tensor field neural networks, which are locally equivariant to 3D rotations, translations, and permutations of points at every layer. 3D rotation equivariance removes…

ROCS-Derived Features for Virtual Screening

Steven Kearnes, Vijay Pande

Rapid overlay of chemical structures (ROCS) is a standard tool for the calculation of 3D shape and chemical ("color") similarity. ROCS uses unweighted sums to combine many aspects…

Molecular Graph Convolutions: Moving Beyond Fingerprints

Steven Kearnes, Kevin McCloskey, Marc Berndl +2

Molecular "fingerprints" encoding structural information are the workhorse of cheminformatics and machine learning in drug discovery applications. However, fingerprint representati…
