I’m cynical towards science press releases generally but this one sounds legit. Can any more knowledgeable HNers help deflate my optimism? Is this a legitimate use case where machine learning provides unquestionable gains?
- currymj 7y agograph neural networks do generally seem to work pretty well for many tasks and are not snake oil. so it’s not unbelievable that they are also able to predict molecule properties with some degree of accuracy — and a fair number of papers have had some success on various datasets of molecular structures over the past couple of years. whether it’s a big deal for actual real world drug discovery, i have no idea, but this isn’t just a mirage.
