Our objective is to apply NN frameworks as predictor of molecular properties (energies, charges on atoms or evidence of hydrogen bonds) based on structural properties of these molecules (atomic positions). Implementation of NN frameworks will be performed using widely adopted TensorFlow library in Python code. For generation of molecular descriptors of chemical systems we apply DScribe library, which can be incorporated as a module directly in Python code. Next to the aforementioned \u201capplication part\u201d of the project, we also plan to (in)validate the widely accepted fact, that GPGPUs are superior execution platform for NNs to CPUs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/SOPHC2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/SOPHC2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/SOPHC2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/SOPHC2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/SOPHC2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/SOPHC2-16x9.png 16w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/SOPHC2-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/SOPHC2.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Late-stage undergraduate and master\u2019s students are invited to apply.
