CheMixNet

CheMixNet is a general-purpose neural network architecture that combines two neural architectures (illustrated below). The first neural architecture is a fully connected multi-layer perceptron network trained on molecular fingerprints. The second neural architecture is trained on SMILES sequences and have 3 choices for their neural architecture:

1. CNN
2. RNN (LSTM or GRU)
3. CNN-RNN (CNN followed by LSTM or GRU)

The proposed architecture performs better than other state of the art architectures such as SMILES2vec, Chemception, ConvGraph etc.

Requirements:

1. Keras 2.0 or higher
2. Tensorflow 1.7
3. RDKit 2017.09.1
4. Scikit-Learn 0.19.1
5. Numpy 1.14
6. Pandas 0.22
