Americas/Europe/Africa/Middle East
India/Asia/Pacific Call
Date: June 25th, 2021
Attendees: Bharath, Atreya, Ashwin, Peter, Vignesh, James, Stanley, Seyone
Summary: Bharath gave the same update as at the last meeting.
Atreya’s MATFeaturizer has been merged in and is working on a moleculenet loader for the dataset he needs.
Ashwin’s DummyFeaturizer has been merged in and is working to get the USPTOLoader merged in.
Vignesh’s deepchem[torch] build environment has been merged in and is working on the deepchem[tensorflow] build environment. Vignesh plans to return to JaxModel work.
Seyone got a fix to SmilesTokenizer merged in and is working on getting the RobertaTokenizer merged in.
Peter has been reviewing issues on Github but was busy otherwise.
James has been busy with other work.
Stanley was a bit busy this week but had a chance to take a look at the FASTALoader work.
Bharath raised the question about how we should deal with Trainer style APIs in DeepChem. HuggingFace uses https://huggingface.co/transformers/_modules/transformers/trainer.html#Trainer to implement a common trainer API. Seyone mentioned that features like https://github.com/seyonechithrananda/bert-loves-chemistry/blob/master/chemberta/utils/data_collators.py data collation and FP16 support are new to Trainer. Peter mentioned these could be potentially handled by TorchModel.
