Americas/Europe/Africa/Middle East
Date: November 19th, 2021
Attendees: Bharath, David, Sai, Delora, Tony
Summary:
Bharath has mostly been working with students this week.
David is working on a new issue that the FASTALoader and the OneHotFeaturizer take too much time for large datasets. David is thinking about incorporating a sparse matrix into the class. Bharath said this sounded like a good idea and suggested looking at Biopython. David suggested starting a bio-DeepChem working group and Tony said he was interested.
Sai has been continuing to work on the MolGAN tutorial. He was running into some instability issues. He’s moved to Colab to increase the training scale and it looks stable. He’s looking to add visualizations to the notebook and will send in a PR.
Tony has been working on improving documentation and adding some utility functions into DeepChem. Tony said he would put in a PR soon.
Delora has been making an improved visualization tutorial and will put it up for review soon.
