Figure 5. Transfer learning in medicinal chemistry. In this hypothetical example, an algorithm used to construct words from the English language character string CHARIOT, and subsequently phrases using those words, has been repurposed to compose small molecules from thiamine and then build larger molecules from those smaller molecules. These molecules could represent novel drug-like candidates or even metabolites of thiamine.
