The use of discrete optimization, including Constraint Programming, for designing objects that we completely understand is quite usual. In this talk, I'll show how designing specific biomolecules (proteins) raises new challenges, requiring solving problems that combine precise design targets, approximate laws, and design rules that can be deep-learned from data.
