DeepChem Minutes

India/Asia/Pacific Call

Date: August 19th, 2021

Attendees: Bharath, Ashwin

Summary:

Bharath was out travelling last week and is just now catching up on DeepChem work. He’s planning to catch up on GSoC PRs in the next week.

Ashwin worked on the ReactionFeaturizer. The core of it is done, but the docs and the tests need to be added. There’s also some mismatch with the loader. There’s a problem when applying the tokenizer through the loader that Ashwin hasn’t been able to figure out. There might be some compatibility issue there.

Ashwin mentioned he’s following Alana’s latest PR on the featurization style.

Bharath mentioned a good goal for the end of summer would be to make a tutorial for retrosynthesis and Ashwin agrees.
