Multitask learning algorithms leveraging knowledge from relevant tasks showed potential for dealing with tasks with limited data. However, current multitask methods mainly focus on learning from datasets whose task labels are available for most of the training samples. Since datasets were generated for different purposes with distinct chemical spaces, the conventional multitask learning methods may not be suitable. This study presents a novel multitask learning method MTForestNet that can deal with data scarcity problems and learn from tasks with distinct chemical space. The MTForestNet consists of nodes of random forest classifiers organized in the form of a progressive network, where each node represents a random forest model learned from a specific task. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the MTForestNet, 48 zebrafish toxicity datasets were collected and utilized as an example. Among them, two tasks are very different from other tasks with only 1.3% common chemicals shared with other tasks. In an independent test, MTForestNet with a high area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) value of 0.911 provided superior performance over compared single-task and multitask methods. The overall toxicity derived from the developed models of zebrafish toxicity is well correlated with the experimentally determined overall toxicity. In addition, the outputs from the developed models of zebrafish toxicity can be utilized as features to boost the prediction of developmental toxicity. The developed models are effective for predicting zebrafish toxicity and the proposed MTForestNet is expected to be useful for tasks with distinct chemical space that can be applied in other tasks.</p><p><b>Scieific contribution</b></p><p>A novel multitask learning algorithm MTForestNet was proposed to address the challenges of developing models using datasets with distinct chemical space that is a common issue of cheminformatics tasks.

Therefore, it is inappropriate to view amino acids as isolated tokens. Instead, the PLMs should recognize the frequently occurring combinations of amino acids as a single token. In this study, we use the byte-pair-encoding algorithm and unigram to construct advanced residue vocabularies for protein sequence tokenization, and we have shown that PLMs pre-trained using these advanced vocabularies exhibit superior performance on downstream tasks when compared to those trained with simple vocabularies.

However, the scarcity of labeled data for organic materials poses a significant challenge for training advanced machine learning models. This study showcases the potential of utilizing databases of drug-like small molecules and chemical reactions to pretrain the BERT model, enhancing its performance in the virtual screening of organic materials. By fine-tuning the BERT models with data from five virtual screening tasks, the version pretrained with the USPTO–SMILES dataset achieved R² scores exceeding 0.94 for three tasks and over 0.81 for two others. This performance surpasses that of models pretrained on the small molecule or organic materials databases and outperforms three traditional machine learning models trained directly on virtual screening data.

The maps generated by the embedding process can provide valuable insight to medicinal chemists in terms of the relationships between structural, physicochemical and biological properties of compounds. However, these maps are known to be difficult to interpret, and the ‘‘landscape’’ on the map is prone to ‘‘rearrangement’’ when embedding different sets of compounds.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>In this study we present the Hilbert-Curve Assisted Space Embedding (HCASE) method which was designed to create maps by organizing structures according to a logic familiar to medicinal chemists. First, a chemical space is created with the help of a set of ‘‘reference scaffolds’’. These scaffolds are sorted according to the medicinal chemistry inspired Scaffold-Key algorithm found in prior art. Next, the ordered scaffolds are mapped to a line which is folded into a higher dimensional (here: 2D) space. The intricately folded line is referred to as a pseudo-Hilbert-Curve. The embedding of a compound happens by locating its most similar reference scaffold in the pseudo-Hilbert-Curve and assuming the respective position. Through a series of experiments, we demonstrate the properties of the maps generated by the HCASE method. Subjects of embeddings were compounds of the DrugBank and CANVASS libraries, and the chemical spaces were defined by scaffolds extracted from the ChEMBL database.</p><h3>Scientific contribution</h3><p>The novelty of HCASE method lies in generating robust and intuitive chemical space embeddings that are reflective of a medicinal chemist’s reasoning, and the precedential use of space filling (Hilbert) curve in the process.</p><h3>Availability</h3><p>https://github.com/ncats/hcase</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":617,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cheminformatics","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://jcheminf.biomedcentral.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s13321-024-00850-z","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141791021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
