First Year PhD Report

By treating chemical reactions as a machine translation task, it is possible to predict products across wide range of reactions using reaction SMILES as only input (Schwaller 2019). Such models can be fine-tuned to domain-specific data such as reactions of carbohydrates (Pesciullesi 2020). We investigated how encoder-decoder transformer models can be applied to predicting regioselectivity of iridium-catalysed C–H borylation. We found our model performance is comparable to state of the art deep learning models trained on the same amount of data but further investigation is needed on how well it generalises to new substrates.
