Position in the project Interpretable and Interactive Multimodal Retrieval in the Drug Discovery Process.
Project is being carried out within the First Team FENG programme of the Foundation for Polish Science.
The drug discovery process is complex, requiring substantial financial investment and many years of work to bring a new drug to market. One way to shorten the time and reduce the costs of this process is through artificial intelligence. This approach can reduce the number of failures in clinical trials and facilitate the exploration of the chemical compound space. In this project, we propose utilizing tools based on knowledge retrieval and interactive, interpretable machine learning to increase the efficiency of the drug discovery The drug discovery process is complex, requiring substantial financial investment and many years of work to bring a new drug to market.
