AO_SCPLOWBSTRACTC_SCPLOWDeep learning provides a tool for improving screening of candidates for drug re-purposing to treat neglected diseases. We show how a new pipeline can be developed to address the needs of repurposing for Leishmaniasis. In combination with traditional molecular docking techniques, this allows top candidates to be selected and analyzed, including for molecular descriptor similarity.

Matching journals

The top 10 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.
