Budget-Aware Adaptive Search
Search priorities evolve with every acquired measurement: explore broadly, exploit a promising region, complete a partial profile, or revisit a candidate
SMALL-MOLECULE DISCOVERY
MolScout learns from every result to select the next molecule–target measurement, making the most of limited evaluation budgets across large molecular libraries.
Its active-learning approach combines complementary molecular representations, probabilistic target models, and multi-step acquisition planning to balance chemical-space exploration with focused evaluation of promising candidates.
A conceptual projection of molecular neighborhoods. Each acquired result informs the next molecule–target measurement.

04 / SHOWCASE
This sped-up recording shows MolScout searching a library of 260,000 molecules for selective activity between two targets: JAK2 and LCK.
Each evaluation measures one molecule against one target. A partial profile means only one target has been evaluated. A complete profile contains results for both targets, allowing their activity to be compared.
The frontier is the pool of molecules MolScout is currently considering for evaluation. In each round, it chooses 300 molecule–target pairs from this pool—starting profiles for some molecules and completing profiles for others.
As results arrive, MolScout updates the frontier and decides what to evaluate next. The search continues until it reaches a total budget of 5,000 individual evaluations.
