Title:
“Artificially-intelligent drug design”

Abstract:
This presentation presents the current state–of–the–art in automated drug design, focusing on contemporary machine–learning approaches and technologies that could be implemented robustly by medicinal chemists in the near future. We will critically analyze the opportunities and challenges for their more widespread application by presenting worked examples.
