Lazy Learning for Predictive Toxicology based on a Chemical Ontology

چکیده
Predictive toxicology Predictive toxicology is the task of building models capable of determining, with a certain degree of accuracy, the toxicity of chemical compounds. We discuss several machine learning methods that have been applied to build predictive toxicology models. In particular, we present two lazy learning lazy learning techniques applied to the task of predictive toxicology. While most ML techniques use structure relationship models to represent chemical compounds, we introduce a new approach based on the chemical nomenclature to represent chemical compounds. In our experiments we show that both models, SAR and ontology-based, have comparable results for the predictive toxicology task.

Multiple-Instance Case-Based Learning for Predictive Toxicology
Predictive toxicology is the task of building models capable of determining, with a certain degree of accuracy, the toxicity of chemical compounds. Machine Learning (ML) in general, and lazy learning techniques in particular, have been applied to the task of predictive toxicology. ML approaches differ in which kind of chemistry knowledge they use but all rely on some specific representation of ...
متن کاملDiscovering Plausible Explanations of Carcinogenecity in Chemical Compounds
The goal of predictive toxicology is the automatic construction of carcinogenecity models. Most common artificial intelligence techniques used to construct these models are inductive learning methods. In a previous work we presented an approach that uses lazy learning methods for solving the problem of predicting carcinogenecity. Lazy learning methods solve new problems based on their similarit...

متن کاملDiscovery of Toxicological Patterns with Lazy Learning
In this paper we propose the use of a lazy learning technique called LID for discovering patterns in the Toxicology dataset. LID classifies examples and builds an explanation of that classification. We analyzed the Toxicology dataset using a two-step proces: first we use LID for classifying all the cases in the dataset. Then we select a subset of explanations and use them as patterns that captu...
متن کاملToxicology ontology perspectives.
The field of predictive toxicology requires the development of open, public, computable, standardized toxicology vocabularies and ontologies to support the applications required by in silico, in vitro, and in vivo toxicology methods and related analysis and reporting activities. In this article we review ontology developments based on a set of perspectives showing how ontologies are being used ...
