ChemicalX is a deep learning library for drug-drug interaction, polypharmacy side effect, and synergy prediction. The library consists of data loaders and integrated benchmark datasets. It also includes state-of-the-art deep neural network architectures that solve the drug pair scoring task. Implemented methods cover traditional SMILES string based techniques and neural message passing based models.

Drug Pair Scoring Explained

Our framework solves the drug pair scoring task of computational chemistry. In this task a machine learning model has to predict the outcome of administering two drugs together in a biological or chemical context. Deep learning models which solve this task have an architecture with two distinctive parts:

  1. A drug encoder layer which takes a pair of drugs as an input (blue and red drugs below).
  2. A head layer which outputs scores in the administration context - polypharmacy in our explanatory figure.

Getting Started

The API of chemicalx provides a high-level function for training and evaluating models that's heavily influenced by the PyKEEN training and evaluation pipeline:

from chemicalx import pipeline
from chemicalx.models import DeepSynergy
from chemicalx.data import DrugCombDB

model = DeepSynergy(context_channels=112, drug_channels=256)
dataset = DrugCombDB()

results = pipeline(
    dataset=dataset,
    model=model,
    # Data arguments
    batch_size=5120,
    context_features=True,
    drug_features=True,
    drug_molecules=False,
    # Training arguments
    epochs=100,
)

# Outputs information about the AUC-ROC, etc. to the console.
results.summarize()

# Save the model, losses, evaluation, and other metadata.
results.save("~/test_results/")
