Protein family-specific models using deep neural networks and transfer learning improve virtual screening and highlight the need for more data

Abstract:

Machine learning has shown enormous potential for computer-aided drug discovery. Here we show how modern convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can be applied to structure-based virtual screening. We have coupled our densely connected CNN (DenseNet) with a transfer learning approach which we use to produce an ensemble of protein family-specific models. We conduct an in-depth empirical study and provide the first guidelines on the minimum requirements for adopting a protein family-specific model...
