How to create molecule image similar with molconvert using RDKit
You're not going to get something identical. Different toolkits use different code to do 2D molecule layout. Generally the current RDKit code (which uses the CoordGen library) tends to prefer ...

Given the adjacency matrix of a molecule, how can I get a graphical representation using only open source software?
NetworkX
This is a widely-used Python library for graph theory stuff. Open source (https://github.com/networkx/networkx) under a 3-clause BSD license.
Caveat: since this is a tool that knows nothing ...

Artificial intelligence is a hot topic, but should I pursue it if I'm interested in Matter Modeling?
I did my master's research project in predicting absorption spectra using machine learning (with fingerprints). So, my research is somewhat in the field of material modelling you can say. I want to ...

Artificial intelligence is a hot topic, but should I pursue it if I'm interested in Matter Modeling?
While machine learning is becoming very important, I think physics-based models continue to be necessary in matter modeling. ML models are good for systems where there is a lot of data available. On ...

Getting interpretable chemical information from hashed molecular fingerprints
I don't know of any simpler methods.
Heuristic methods such as Neural Networks are likely your better option if you wish to actually reconstruct the original molecule.
Keep in mind that an active bit ...
