TITLE: Machine Learning and the Fight against COVID-19
ABSTRACT:
Machine learning has changed the world of technology in the last few years by enabling the construction of predictive models from historical data. Can machine learning help with COVID-19? In this talk, I'll provide a brief overview of current therapeutic development efforts towards COVID-19 and review some of the known biology and chemistry of SARS-CoV-2. I'll then introduce the field of molecular machine learning and open source tools developed by the DeepChem project for molecular design. I'll conclude by discussing how deep learning could help design COVID-19 therapeutics.
BIOGRAPHY
Bharath Ramsundar is the cofounder and CTO of Datamined, a blockchain company enabling the construction of large biological datasets. Datamined aims to generate the datasets needed to accelerate the ongoing boom of AI in biotech. Bharath is also the lead developer and creator of DeepChem.io, an open source package founded on TensorFlow that aims to democratize the use of deep learning in drug discovery, and the cocreator of the MoleculeNet benchmark suite.
Bharath received a BA and BS from UC Berkeley in EECS and mathematics and was valedictorian of his graduating class in mathematics. He recently finished his PhD in computer science at Stanford University (all but the dissertation) with the Pande group, supported by a Hertz Fellowship, the most selective graduate fellowship in the sciences.
