METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DIRECTED LEAD DISCOVERY THROUGH MULTI-DOMAIN CLUSTERING

A system for analyzing a vast amount of data representative of chemical structure and activity information and concisely providing conclusions about structure-to-activity relationships. A computer may adaptively learn new substructure descriptors based on its analysis of the input data. The computer may then apply each substructure descriptor as a filter to establish new groups of molecules that match the descriptor. From each new group of molecules, the computer may in turn generate one or more additional new groups of molecules. A result of the analysis in an exemplary arrangement is a tree structure that reflects pharmacophoric information and efficiently establishes through lineage what effect on activity various chemical substructures are likely to have. The tree structure can then be applied as a multi-domain classifier, to help a chemist classify test compounds into structural subclasses.
