GPU-based Deep Learning Enhances Drug Discovery Says Startup
Sifting the avalanche of life sciences (LS) data for insight is an interesting and important challenge. Many approaches are used with varying success. Recently, improved hardware – primarily GPU-based – and better neural networking schemes are bringing deep learning to the fore. Two recent papers report the use of deep neural networks is superior to typical machine learning (support vector machine model) in sieving LS data for drug discovery and personalized medicine purposes. The two papers, admittedly driven by a commercial interest (Insilico Medicine), are nevertheless more evidence of deep neural network (DNN) progress in LS research where large datasets with high dimensionality have long been difficult to handle. Using DNN to train models and produce answers is proving quite effective; in these two studies both straightforward and more complicated…
