TLDR
Ramsundar et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed an iterative refinement long short-term memory (ILSTM) architecture, which can be combined with graph convolutional neural networks to improve learning of meaningful distance metrics over small molecules.
Abstract
Recent advances in machine learning have made significant contributions to drug discovery. Deep neural networks in particular have been demonstrated to provide significant boosts in predictive power when inferring the properties and activities of small-molecule compounds (Ma, J. et al. J. Chem. Inf. Model. 2015, 55, 263–274). However, the applicability of these techniques has been limited by the requirement for large amounts of training data. In this work, we demonstrate how one-shot learning can be used to significantly lower the amounts of data required to make meaningful predictions in drug discovery applications. We introduce a new architecture, the iterative refinement long short-term memory, that, when combined with graph convolutional neural networks, significantly improves learning of meaningful distance metrics over small-molecules. We open source all models introduced in this work as part of DeepChem, an open-source framework for deep-learning in drug discovery (Ramsundar, B. deepchem.io. https:...

Generating Focused Molecule Libraries for Drug Discovery with Recurrent Neural Networks

TL;DR: This work shows that recurrent neural networks can be trained as generative models for molecular structures, similar to statistical language models in natural language processing, and demonstrates that the properties of the generated molecules correlate very well with those of the molecules used to train the model.
