The field of computational chemistry has seen a significant
increase
in the integration of machine learning concepts and algorithms. In
this Perspective, we surveyed 179 open-source software projects, with
corresponding peer-reviewed papers published within the last 5 years,
to better understand the topics within the field being investigated
by machine learning approaches. For each project, we provide a short
description, the link to the code, the accompanying license type,
and whether the training data and resulting models are made publicly
available. Based on those deposited in GitHub repositories, the most
popular employed Python libraries are identified. We hope that this
survey will serve as a resource to learn about machine learning or
specific architectures thereof by identifying accessible codes with
accompanying papers on a topic basis. To this end, we also include
computational chemistry open-source software for generating training
data and fundamental Python libraries for machine learning. Based
on our observations and considering the three pillars of collaborative
machine learning work, open data, open source (code), and open models,
we provide some suggestions to the community.
