Reinforcement learning is coupled to a deep generative model based on a three-dimensional scaffold model to generate drug candidates targeting a particular protein, building up atom or functional groups from a starting core scaffold. A reward function can use parallel graph neural network models and take the particular protein into account when calculating reward based on criteria such as binding, synthetic accessibility, and the like. In an agent-critic reinforcement learning model, the agent learns to build molecules in three-dimensional space while optimizing the criteria.

Fast simultaneous feasibility testing (SFT) for management of an electrical power grid is achieved through various innovations. The computation problem relates to evaluation of candidate solutions for external power flows into a power grid, with respect to predetermined constraints and contingencies. A perturbation approach with precomputation is extended to encompass grid states (e.g. time periods) in addition to contingencies. Advantages derive from: fewer factorizations or inversions of large matrices; decoupling of state-dependent and contingency-dependent perturbations, leaving relatively few perturbations jointly dependent on both state and contingency; or making approximations by discarding small jointly dependent terms. Significant computation reductions allow a single workstation to perform SFT for 36 hours of a day-ahead cycle.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE VERIFICATION OF INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
To validate an integrated circuit (IC), the IC is imaged by scanning an optical beam over the IC to optically inject carriers and measuring an output signal generated by the IC in response to the injected optical carriers. A comparison between the image of the IC and a reference image is computed, and suspect regions of the IC are identified based on the comparison. The reference image may be an image of a reference IC. In another approach, images of training ICs are acquired, and a deep learning algorithm is trained to transform corresponding training IC layouts to the images of the training ICs. The trained deep learning algorithm then transforms a layout of the IC to generate the reference image. The comparison may be computed by computing an error metric for each region corresponding to a standard cell in the reference image.
