The objective of this research project is to develop general machine learning techniques for graph generation, with the end application of smart design including new material discovery, advanced circuit design, and novel drug invention, amongst many others. Research will focus on deep generative models and reinforcement learning for the generation of graphs with optimized properties. This project is a collaboration with HEC Montréal (HEC) and the NRC. HEC will develop generative frameworks for graph representation based on deep generative models and reinforcement learning. The NRC will provide expertise in machine learning and deep learning.
