Abstract: Method(s) and apparatus are provided for generating a selection model based on a machine learning (ML) technique, the selection model for selecting a shortlist of compounds requiring validation with a particular property.

Abstract: Method(s), apparatus and system(s) are provided for designing a compound exhibiting one or more desired property(ies) using a machine learning (ML) technique. This may be achieved by generating a second compound using the ML technique to modify a first compound based on the desired property(ies) and a set of rules for modifying compounds; scoring the second compound based on the desired property(ies); determining whether to repeat the generating step based on the scoring; and updating the ML technique based on the scoring prior to repeating the generating step.

Abstract: Method(s), apparatus, and computer-implemented method(s) are provided for training a machine learning (ML) technique to generate a property model for predicting whether a compound has a particular property. An iterative procedure/feedback loop may be performed for generating the property model, the procedure including: generating a prediction result list for a plurality of compounds and their association with the particular property based on the property model; validating the property model based on compounds from the prediction result list having an association with the particular property; and updating the property model based on the property model validation. The procedure/loop may be repeated using the updated property model until it is determined the property model has been validly trained.

Abstract: A device for automatic loading of film material on a suction plate by transport roller pairs arranged at two oppositely disposed ends of the suction plate. One pair receives the film material and the other pair further transports the film material. At the two other lateral sides or ends of the suction plate, a roller is respectively provided extending over an entire side of the plate. A cloth can be wound on this roller such that the roller and cloth are so arranged that they respectively form a blind covering the suction plate up to and overlapping lateral edges of the film material.
