Background: Drug discovery and development is a high-cost, high-risk, and time-consuming endeavor where the failure rate of therapeutic candidates that enter clinical trials is 90%. Because of this, in recent years, artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning ( ML) technologies, has been embraced to reduce clinical failure rates and to speed up drug discovery. AI/ML technologies are ...
