Abstract
Pretraining has taken the NLP world by storm as ever larger language models have broken successive benchmarks. In this talk, I’ll review some recent work applying pretraining to scientific challenges, and in particular will discuss the challenges of pretraining for molecular machine learning. I’ll introduce our new architecture, ChemBERTa, which explores the use of BERT -style pretraining for machine learning problems inspired by drug discovery applications.
Series This talk is part of the Lennard-Jones Centre series.
