Rational Discovery provides computational modeling, combinatorial
library design and custom software development services to the
pharmaceutical, biotech and chemical industries. We do a substantial
amount of internal research to develop new approaches for applying
machine-learning techniques to solve chemical problems. Because we're a
small organization and chemistry is a large and complex field, it is
essential that we be able to quickly and easily prototype and test new
algorithms.
<p>For our internal software, we implement core data structures in C
and expose them to Python using Boost.Python. Algorithm development is
done in Python and then translated to C if required (often it's not).
This hybrid development approach not only greatly increases our
productivity, but it also allows "non-developers" (people without C
experience) to take part in method development. Learning C is a
daunting task, but "Python fits your brain." (Thanks to Bruce Eckel for
the quote.)</p>
A collection of cheminformatics and machine-learning software
written in C++ and Python.
