Some time ago we showed an example of how a model trained in Python's PyTorch could be run in a C++ backend by exporting it to the ONNX format.
Greg also showed us in his blogpost how our multitask neural network model could be used in a very nice KNIME workflow by exporting it to ONNX. That was possible thanks to RDKit's Java bindings and the ONNX Java runtime.
As a refresher, most of the most popular machine learning frameworks can export their models to this format and many programming languages can load them to run the predictions. This certainly is a beautiful example of interoperability!
In November 2019 RDKit introduced a reduced functionality Javascript library which is able to do all we need in order to use our multitask model in the browser. So, the only thing that was left to do was to combine these two awesome tools... and we did it!
Here is our demo with its available source code. Start typing a smiles into the box and enjoy!
Updated code to generate the model is also available here. This updated code takes advantage of the PyTorch Lightning library.
Followers of the ChEMBL group's activities and this blog will be aware of our involvement in the migration of the previously commercially available SureChem chemistry patent system, to a new, free-for-all system, known as SureChEMBL. Today we are very pleased to announce that the migration process is complete and the SureChEMBL website is now online. SureChEMBL provides the research community with the ability to search the patent literature using Lucene-based keyword queries and, much more importantly, chemistry-based queries. If you are not familiar with SureChEMBL, we recommend you review the content of these earlier blogposts here and here . SureChEMBL is a live system, which is continuously extracting chemical entities from the patent literature. The time it takes for a new chemical in the patent literature to become searchable in the SureChEMBL system is 1-2 days (WO patents can sometimes take a bit longer due to an additional reprocessing step). At time of writi
