ToxicBlend: Virtual screening of toxic compounds with ensemble predictors

Abstract: Timely assessment of compound toxicity is one of the biggest challenges facing the pharmaceutical industry today. A significant proportion of compounds identified as potential leads are ultimately discarded due to the toxicity they induce. In this paper, we propose a novel machine learning approach for the prediction of molecular activity on ToxCast targets. We combine extreme gradient boosting with fullyconnected and graph-convolutional neural network architectures trained on QSAR physical molecular property … Show more

“…Table 3 in Appendix C documents an even larger improvement compared to models that use a sparse Gaussian process for property prediction. We also surpass the state-of-the-art in toxicity prediction on the Tox21 dataset [22,45], as shown in Table 1, despite refraining from ensembling our model, or engineering features using expert chemistry knowledge, as in previous state-of-the-art methods [71].…”

“…Machine learning models to predict molecular properties have seen a large surge in popularity in the last decade, leading to new developments and impressive performances on the prediction of quantum-mechanical properties, [1][2][3] biological effects [4][5][6] or physicochemical properties, [7][8][9] to name just a few. In particular, graphbased approaches are on the rise, and have proven both powerful and useful in fields such as drug discovery.…”
