DeepChem Minutes
India/Asia/Pacific Call
Date: June 10th, 2021
Attendees: Bharath, Ashwin, Yuanqi, Peter, Alana
Summary: Bharath explained some of the issues with DeepChem 2.6.0 release. Numpy 1.20 doesn’t work with TensorFlow so we can’t make the release right now until TensorFlow fixes numpy 1.20.
Peter has been working on bugfixing and debugging. Peter figured out what happened with the uncertainty prediction and has a PR fix in place for that. Peter also has a PR in place for fixing mypy for numpy 1.20. Peter also tracked down what happened in the broken notebook.
Yuanqi has been busy recently and is organizing a new Neurips workshop.
Ashwin has been working on the loader method for the USPTO datasets. He’s currently working on getting the full dataset loaded.
Alana has been working on the protein tokenizer. Alana is running into some issues with figuring out how to handle the FASTA loader.
