Combination Rules for Group Fusion in Similarity‐Based Virtual Screening

Abstract: This paper evaluates the screening effectiveness of 15 parameter-free, similarity-based and rank-based rules for group fusion, where one combines the outputs of similarity searches from multiple reference structures using ECFC_4 fingerprints and a Bayesian inference network. Searches of the MDDR and WOMBAT databases show that group fusion is most effective when as many reference structures as possible are used, when only a small proportion of each ranked similarity list is submitted to the final fusion rule, a… Show more

“…Any further attempts advocating rational design of ''improved'' similarity-based virtual screening tools should explicitly address the challenge of proving that the method is more likely to succeed on the average over multiple queries [40]. This goal should yet be pursued, in the light of encouraging results from the ''unachieved learning'' approach, and also considering a reinforcement of the capture of topological information.…”

“…Fusion involves a fusion rule that determines how the result set produced by the NN is being combined. There are a number of fusion rules, as described in [11], one of which is the MAX fusion rule. This rule combines the result sets produced by taking the maximum value of similarity score for a particular structure.…”
