Frank Noe wrote an excellent article on using machine learning to sample conformational states of complex systems. We were privileged enough to be asked to write a perspective on it. Here's the link: science.sciencemag.org/content/365/64…

To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature. If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in.

We are successful in speeding up hybrid density functional based ab initio molecular dynamics by 7 times. This is achieved by creating an approximate time-scale splitting using Adaptively Compressed Exchange Operator. Our paper is out in JCP: aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.…

How Machine Learning techniques can be used to predict the outcome of a chemical reaction? Here it is: pnas.org/content/117/3/… Predictive power of ML for "Low data" in chemistry is gratifying to see! Congrats Sunoj (IIT Bombay).👏👏👏
