SPADE AI model accelerates drug discovery, outperforming competitors

Researchers have developed SPADE, a novel algorithm designed to accelerate drug discovery by efficiently identifying high-quality drug candidates. SPADE requires an average of only 40 tests to find 10 suitable ligands, significantly outperforming existing deep learning and Bayesian optimization methods in sample efficiency. Additionally, SPADE is notably faster, completing candidate scoring ten times quicker than its closest competitors. AI
