Herbicides have revolutionised weed management, increased crop yields and improved profitability allowing for an increase in worldwide food security. Their widespread use, however, has also led to not only a rise in resistance but also concerns about their environmental impact. To help identify new, potent, non-toxic and environmentally safe herbicides we have employed interpretable predictive models to develop the online tool cropCSM (http://biosig.unimelb.edu.au/crop_csm).

Matching journals

The top 7 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
