A high-precision machine learning model could help accelerate drug discovery, scientists have showed through a study published in Science Advances. The new model can accurately predict the interactions between a protein and a drug molecule based on a handful of reference experiments or simulations. The model is so fast that it only requires a few training … Read more
Advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning have been partly achieved through the copious amounts of data used for training artificial intelligence systems. Most of the data need protection and so to ensure that health and behaviour data don’t fall into the wrong hands during AI and machine learning projects, scientists have developed what they … Read more
