"MIT Develops AI System for Predicting Molecular Properties with Minimal Data"

Scientists at MIT have developed an automated machine-learning system called BioAutoMATED that can generate AI models for biology research. The system selects and builds an appropriate model for a given dataset, including handling the laborious task of data preprocessing, reducing the process from months to just a few hours. BioAutoMATED focuses on biological sequences and offers a larger search space by incorporating multiple tools under one umbrella tool. It includes supervised ML models for binary classification, multi-class classification, and regression. The open-source code is publicly available, and the researchers hope to collaborate with the biological research community to make it a widely used tool.
