VAE-Sim: A Novel Molecular Similarity Measure Based on a Variational Autoencoder

Molecular similarity is an elusive but core “unsupervised” cheminformatics concept, yet different “fingerprint” encodings of molecular structures return very different similarity values, even when using the same similarity metric. Each encoding may be of value when applied to other problems with obj...
