  • Publication number: 20120221501
    Abstract: Methods and articles of manufacture for modeling molecular properties using data regarding the partial orderings of compound properties, or by considering measurements of compound properties in terms of partial orderings are disclosed. One embodiment provides for constructing such partial orderings from data that is not already in an ordered form by processing training data to produce a partial ordering of the compounds with respect to a property of interest. Another embodiment of the invention may process the modified training data to construct a model that predicts the property of interest for arbitrary compounds.

  • Patent number: 7856321
    Abstract: Method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for modeling the biological effects of a molecule are disclosed. A machine learning application may be configured to process a set of training examples regarding a biological property of interest. Once trained, the machine learning application may be configured to generate a prediction regarding a property of interest for a test molecule. Embodiments of the invention provide a meta-model configured to generate a biological effect prediction for a molecule based on the predictions generated for the test molecule by a plurality of molecular property models.

  • Patent number: 7577553
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing molecular systems with reconfigurable special-purpose hardware is provided. An entire molecular mechanics calculation is implemented on a programmable logic device (PLD) integrated circuit (IC) (“single chip”). This single IC accelerator is achieved by run-time reprogramming of the PLD to handle different terms in the molecular mechanics calculation.
