Workshop on Deep Generative AI for Molecule Exploration
This workshop will focus on the emerging field of deep generative artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications in molecule exploration with a particular emphasis on drug discovery.
The event is designed to educate and engage participants on how generative AI can revolutionize drug discovery and molecular science. It will feature presentations on recent advancements, discussions on the integration of AI with classical disciplines such as chemistry and biology, and opportunities for networking and collaboration. The workshop aims to foster connections between researchers, stimulate innovative research, and provide a platform for collaborative discussions and partnerships. This workshop will focus on several advanced topics in molecule exploration using AI technologies. Key topics include the role of large language models (LLMs) in accelerating drug discovery and generating novel drug candidates, as well as the application of flow-based and diffusion-based generative models for creating new molecular structures. The workshop will also highlight publicly available datasets that are advancing research in molecular generation, and discuss the development of metrics and platforms for evaluating the effectiveness of these AI-driven techniques. The workshop can host a set of genuine thoughtful minds to foster research in this field. The workshop can also provide an appropriate platform for several isolated research groups to launch discussion and collaboration.
