Explore the application of active learning in drug discovery through this 53-minute talk by Pat Walters and James Thompson from Valence Labs. Gain insights into how computational methods and machine learning techniques like active learning can streamline the drug discovery process. Learn about prioritizing molecules for synthesis, free energy perturbation, virtual screening strategies, and Thompson sampling. Discover how large molecular libraries can be efficiently searched using multi-armed bandit problems. Examine a collaborative case study on SARS-CoV-2 Nsp3 macrodomain and understand the broad impact of machine learning across various stages of drug discovery. The presentation concludes with a Q&A session, providing further clarification on the topics discussed.
