by Edward Pyzer-Knapp

Hi all, The CEP will have a sub-group meeting at 3-4 today in the Div room. Tim Hirzel will be talking about molecular generation - a subject which is of interest to many within the group. All welcome. Abstract: *"Molecular generation is a key step in many Aspuru-Guzik group projects. I will propose a software architecture based on a molecular building blocks that can describe a variety of generation processes. I will also describe how the design can be extended to accommodate project specific requirements."* Ed
