The virtual screening of large numbers of compounds against target protein binding sites has become an integral component of drug discovery workflows. This screening is often done by computationally docking ligands into a protein binding site of interest, but this has the drawback that a large number of poses must be evaluated to obtain accurate estimates of protein-ligand binding affinity. We here introduce a fast prefiltering method for ligand prioritization that is based on a set of machine learning models and uses simple pose-invariant physicochemical descriptors of the ligands and the protein binding pocket. Our method, Rapid Screening with Physicochemical Descriptors + machine learning (RASPD+), is trained on PDBbind data and achieves a regression performance better than for the original RASPD method and comparable to traditional scoring functions on a range of different test sets without the need for generating ligand poses. Additionally, we use RASPD+ to identify molecular features important for binding affinity and assess the ability of RASPD+ to enrich active molecules from decoys.

As the most common cause of dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD) faces challenges in terms of understanding of pathogenesis, developing early diagnosis and developing effective treatment. Rapid and accurate identification of AD biomarkers in the brain will be critical to provide novel insights of AD. To this end, in the current work, we developed a system that can enable a rapid screening of AD biomarkers by employing Raman spectroscopy and machine learning analyses in AD transgenic animal brains. Specifically, we collected Raman spectra on slices of mouse brains with and without AD, and used machine learning to classify AD and non-AD spectra. By contacting monolayer graphene with the brain slices, we achieved significantly increased accuracy from 77% to 98% in machine learning classification. Further, we identified the Raman signature bands that are most important in classifying AD and non-AD samples. Based on these, we managed to identify AD-related biomolecules, which have been confirmed by biochemical studies. Our Raman-machine learning integrated method is promising to greatly accelerate the study of AD and can be potentially extended to human samples and various other diseases.

Nowadays, telecommunications have become an indispensable part of our life, 5G technology brings better network speeds, helps the AR and VR industry, and connects everything. It will deeply change our society. Transmission is the vessel of telecommunications. While the vessel is not so healthy, some of them are overloaded, meanwhile, others still have lots of capacity. It not only affects the customer experience, but also affects the development of communication services because of a resources problem. A transmission network is composed of transmission nodes and links. So that the possible topology numbers equal to node number multiplied by number of links means it is impossible for humans to optimize. We use Al instead of humans for topology optimization. The AI optimization solution uses an ITU Machine Learning (ML) standard, Breadth-First Search (BFS) greedy algorithm and other mainstream algorithms to solve the problem. It saves a lot of money and human resources, and also hugely improves traffic absorption capacity. The author comes from the team named "No Boundaries". The team attend ITU AI/ML in 5G Challenge and won the Gold champions (1st place).
