The lecture presented a brief overview on the research done at the Hylleraas Centre in the fields of evolutionary and deep machine learning, and how these two approaches are being combined[1] in the discovery of transition metal complexes. The focus was on multiobjective optimization problems[2], moving from 2D Pareto fronts to 3D Pareto surfaces using genetic algorithms. Further, efforts in implementing a variational autoencoder based on the junction-tree formalism for the unconditional and conditional generation of metal ligands[3] were also discussed, including recent work on the combination of this approach with genetic algorithms.
