AIhub monthly digest: September 2022 – environmental conservation, retrosynthesis, and RoboCup

Welcome to our September 2022 monthly digest, where you can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, get the low-down on recent events, and much more. This month, amongst other things, we find out more about environmental conservation, synthesizing new medicines, the efficiency of large language models, and the RoboCup Humanoid League. A key part of this work focusses on how to strategically allocate limited resources. Her primary application area is poaching prevention, helping rangers in protected areas around the world plan patrols and identify poaching hotspots. In this blog post, Christopher Franz and Kevin Schewior write about how they applied a well-known algorithm for solving two-player games to the problem of synthesizing new molecules.
