Cheminformatics
OpenChem: A Deep Learning Toolkit for Computational Chemistry and Drug Design
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jcim.0c00971
(around for a bit longer, but now officially published in a journal – ChemRxiv version at https://chemrxiv.org/articles/preprint/OpenChem_A_Deep_Learning_Toolkit_for_Computational_Chemistry_and_Drug_Design/12691943/1)
Artificial intelligence in drug discovery: what is realistic, what are illusions? Part 1: Ways to make an impact, and why we are not there yet (Open Access)
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.drudis.2020.12.009
(On why ‘AI in drug discovery’ is not easy when it comes to in vivo relevance… and to a good extent it’s due to the data we have available)
… beyond Cheminformatics ….
The Biotech Paradox of 2020: A Year In Review
https://lifescivc.com/2021/01/the-biotech-paradox-of-2020-a-year-in-review/
(An excellent summary – personally I think it has even more to do with ‘cheap money’ though!)
… and certainly beyond Cheminformatics

(an essential guide to search algorithms)
I believe this is all from my side for now – if you would like to present at one of our next Cheminformatics Meetings, or have any other information for me to circulate, please just let me know, cheers!
Best wishes,
Andreas
