07-03-2023 SimSpread-Ensemble - Development of an ensemble network-based method for drug discovery
SimSpread is a novel computational method to predict protein–ligand interaction that combines network-based inference with chemical similarity, useful for predicting drug targets, virtual screening, and drug repositioning. This project proposal intents to improve several limitations of SimSpread. Hypothesis: The combination of predictions obtained from SimSpread that use different similarity cutoffs into a single score using a machine learning (ML) model will increase predictive performance, eliminate empty predictions and eliminate the need to optimize similarity cutoff parameter, resulting in a more straightfoward and user-friendly model to predict drug-target interactions. Tasks: • Propose an ensemble predictive model. • Implement a hyperparameter optimization. • Compare the predictive performance. Candidates should have good programming skills.
