lazar: a modular predictive toxicology framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
lazar (lazy structure-activity relationships) is a modular framework for predictive toxicology. Similar to the read across procedure in toxicological risk assessment, lazar creates local QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) models for each compound to be predicted. Model developers can choose between a large variety of algorithms for descriptor calculation and selection, chemical similarity indices, and model building. This paper presents a high level description of the lazar framework and discusses the performance of example classification and regression models.

Toxicology 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 ...

متن کاملLazy Learning for Predictive Toxicology based on a Chemical Ontology
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 ...
