Automated typing inference from scratch

Organise a meeting to coordinate efforts.

Update: Tobias Huefner is doing some basic research, but we don’t have a timeline defined here. Perhaps a more specific study to look at typing issues similar to Schauperl’s work on LJ typing.

Full-time person needed – to be discussed further. Work of Josh Fass (Deactivated) and Tobias Huefner may assist here. Owen Madin interested. Trevor Gokey is also actively working in this area.

Data coverage and availability

Feasibility studies

Check the available data and identify missing data points. Worry in the future what to do about it. We will use what we have for Sage.

Benchmarking/re-evaluating our choice of QM theory

(Optional) QC Dataset submission infrastructure

Test of the whole torsiondrive. Keep within 10-50 torsiondrives. More is better.

• Some datasets ready, but analysis is still required (Hyesu Jang ) Pavan might help with this.

• No changes made to our fitting data til after 2.0 release, but decision may be made before that (eg while fitting)

Hyesu Jang lead; Lee-Ping Wang Pavan Behara

Hyesu Jang also leading molecule set selection with help from Jessica Maat (Deactivated) and Victoria Lim (Deactivated)

Protomer/tautomer enumerated molecules

• It can only do enumeration with OpenEye

Richer torsion data for WBO fitting

WBO torsion implementation

• What data to generate and

(person needed to continue work of Chaya Stern (Deactivated); probably Will be Pavan Behara with input from Jessica Maat (Deactivated) or vise versa. Overseen by Simon Boothroyd ? , eventually coordinating with Simon Boothroyd as he moves to his new position. )

Biopolymer data selection (ensure sidechain data is available in QCA)

One dataset ready, but a lot more data needs to be generated if we want sidechain sampling

Pavan Behara and Jessica Maat (Deactivated) to divide up chemical space for fitting/test fixes. Hyesu Jang will do central fitting of production FF.

Study how to set prior widths and weights for different sorts of data during FF optimizationweights for different sorts of data during FF optimization

Became higher priority due to need for fixes. Headed towards a 1.3 release late 2020.

Lee-Ping Wang Hyesu Jang Spinoff?

Value of data generated “incidentally” during torsiondrive in fitting, e.g. optimization snapshots, gradients, energies (low control over these data points)

Some parts of Bespoke workflow OpenFF Bespokefit

• Once we have more people working on fitting, someone can run this study

Joshua Horton

Benchmarking

Small reference system for fast testing of FE infrastructure – 5-10 small reference systems, possibly subset of SAMPL challenges, for comparison of different free energy methods to avoid using large P-L systems for test calculations

Should use SAMPLing challenge systems plus a couple more similar ones.

ASAP

Benchmarking/re-evaluating our choice of QM theory

See above; to be done while fitting 2.0 (datasets ready). Hyesu Jang leading.
