Summary:
- They created an entirely new dataset of ~5000 molecules, all hand-labeled by perfume experts.
- They held a competition (presumably Kaggle or a similar platform) to classify this dataset, and used the results as a strong baseline.
- Their GNNs get comparable (slightly better, but not statistically significant) results than the winning random forest model of the competition.
The embeddings show promise, but I'm curious why they omitted a simple "fully connected layer" on the Morgan bit descriptors as a baseline classifier. Seems like that would outperform the random forest.
- amelius 7y agoSo how well does the network perform on unseen molecules? Does olfactory data allow extrapolation?
- hooloovoo_zoo 7y agoThe baseline isn't that strong tbh, it's from a very small competition from a long time ago. https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn2811262/wiki/78388 https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn2811262/wiki/78388
