Molecular generative models trained with small sets of molecules represented as SMILES strings can generate large regions the chemical space. Unfortunately, due to sequential nature strings, these are not able given a scaffold (i.e., partially-built explicit attachment points). Herein we report new SMILES-based molecular architecture that generates from scaffolds and be any arbitrary set.

Conformal prediction has been proposed as a more rigorous way to define confidence compared other application domain concepts that have earlier used for QSAR modeling. One main advantage of such method is it provides region potentially with multiple predicted labels, which contrasts the single valued (regression) or label (classification) output predictions by standard modeling algorithms. Standard conformal might not be suitable imbalanced data sets. Therefore, Mondrian cross-conformal...
