We Need Better Benchmarks for Machine Learning in Drug Discovery

Practical Cheminformatics

It is quite a bit more potent than the values one finds with screening hits, which typically have IC50s in the single to double-digit µM range. Clear Definitions of Training, Validation, and Test Set Splits When building a machine learning model, it’s important to divide the data into training, (sometimes) validation, and test sets.
