Why are we building predictive in silico Models?
We cannot make and test every compound.
• Reduce drug failure rates, de-risk compounds
• Select and prioritize compounds before synthesis
Predictive in silico models could help to achieve this task.
Lack of efficacy and safety/toxicity are the main reasons why drugs fail in the clinic.
Toxicity is the main reason for attrition in early drug development.
Reasons for attrition in clinical trials:

Find a relation between the chemical structure and the observable, Pi (e.g.
genotoxicity), by first calculating descriptors, xi (e.g. physchem properties), and then
using a mathematical algorithm that calculates the observable Pi for each structure.

The Kaggle Challenge:The Data Set
Predicting a Biological Response 3/16/2012 – 6/15/2012
Data Set of 6512 compounds from Literature
CADD-BI performed:
Data Set Clean-Up (6252: 3401p/2851n)
Random split into:
Training Set (3751: 2034p/1717n)
PublicTest Set (625: 329p/296n)
Private Validation Set (1876: 1038p/838n)
Pre-calculated Descriptors (1776)
Participants had no knowledge of
• the modeled endpoint
• the descriptor types
• the chemical structures
BI offered $20,000 for the best three models
Participants could use any technology they wanted
BI will get the models
Objectives:
• Response to competition
• Quality of the algorithms/models
• Model transfer
Task:
Generate an Ames Classification model
1 = Ames positive
0 = Ames negative
This Challenge does NOT test all aspects of predictive
in silico modeling
Important aspects, e.g. data set selection, descriptor
selection/design, are missing
Study is a machine learning exercise, a proof of concept
Advantage: We know exactly what to expect,
comparative benchmarks available

The Kaggle Challenge: Lessons learned
Technology aspects:
• 1st ranked team: R-software, blending of several different RandomForest models, with
special feature selection and weighting techniques. Final models were merged using other
machine learning techniques.
• 2nd ranked team: R-software, RandomForest, derived new response variable pending on
value and observed activity.This may lead to better separation between actives and
inactives.
• 3rd ranked team: R-software, RandomForest with special techniques to deal with
imbalanced data sets.
• The challenge was a success
• There was a great response
• Predictive in silico models were generated within a three months time frame
• Models were at least as good as the literature
• Social aspects of crowd-sourcing were observed

Bellagio, Italy 7/16/2014 – 7/18/2014
10
The Kaggle Challenge: Lessons learned (continued)
Performance aspects:
• Model performance on par with best literature models, reached maximum performance for
data set
• Top ranking models are not significantly different from Random Forest benchmark
• Quick turn-around (3 months), code made available
• Model performance plateaued after 20 days
A standard RandomForest model is a good starting point.
In-house technology performs as well as more complex approaches.
Social aspects of competition:
• Very strong response: 703 teams, 8841 models submitted
• People from all over the world participated:
1st place team from US (Harvard,Travelers insurance)
2nd place team from Russia graduate student from Moscow
3rd place from China graduate student from Beijing
• Winning teams had no CompChem/Chemistry background
• Formation of teams occurred during competition

The Kaggle Challenge: Lessons learned (continued)
Important aspects for successful crowdsourcing:
Design the Crowdsourcing Challenge:
Very clear defined task/objective
Predefined precise metric to measure entries
Provide adequate incentive/prize money for participants
Participants:
Hosting the challenge either through third party or self
Internal/Restricted/Open Challenge
Promote the crowd sourcing challenge among key expert leaders
The Challenge:
Right barrier for participation
Fast turn-around/feedback to participants
Gamification
can provide additional incentive to participants
can lead to synergies amongst participants
After the Challenge:
Clear follow-up of what to do with the results
Does the challenge benefit to your Network/Organization?

Crowd-Sourcing: A new way for solving problems(?)
Will crowd-sourcing solve all the problems? Likely not.
Crowd sourcing offers opportunities but it is not without risks.
For crowd sourcing to be successful/innovative the task needs to be structured right.
Murcko & Walters, “Alpha Shock” J Comput Aided Mol Des 2012, 26, 97-102
Kittur et al. “The Future of Crowd Work” 16th ACM Conference on Computer
Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW 2013)
Will crowd-sourcing be the future way of drug discovery?
Maybe, ….
Drug Discovery will definitely be different from what it is now.
Potential framework for future crowd
work.
Requires
• Intelligent work decomposition
• sophisticated workflow design
• high level of collaborative work
• quality assurance.
Simple crowd work
• tendency to be mechanical
• not innovative
• has exploitive tendency

  • 9. Open-Source Pharma Bellagio, Italy 7/16/2014 – 7/18/2014 9 The Kaggle Challenge: Lessons learned Technology aspects: • 1st ranked team: R-software, blending of several different RandomForest models, with special feature selection and weighting techniques. Final models were merged using other machine learning techniques. • 2nd ranked team: R-software, RandomForest, derived new response variable pending on value and observed activity.This may lead to better separation between actives and inactives. • 3rd ranked team: R-software, RandomForest with special techniques to deal with imbalanced data sets. • The challenge was a success • There was a great response • Predictive in silico models were generated within a three months time frame • Models were at least as good as the literature • Social aspects of crowd-sourcing were observed
  • 10. Open-Source Pharma Bellagio, Italy 7/16/2014 – 7/18/2014 10 The Kaggle Challenge: Lessons learned (continued) Performance aspects: • Model performance on par with best literature models, reached maximum performance for data set • Top ranking models are not significantly different from Random Forest benchmark • Quick turn-around (3 months), code made available • Model performance plateaued after 20 days A standard RandomForest model is a good starting point. In-house technology performs as well as more complex approaches. Social aspects of competition: • Very strong response: 703 teams, 8841 models submitted • People from all over the world participated: 1st place team from US (Harvard,Travelers insurance) 2nd place team from Russia graduate student from Moscow 3rd place from China graduate student from Beijing • Winning teams had no CompChem/Chemistry background • Formation of teams occurred during competition Bentzien at al. “Crowd computing: Using competitive dynamics to develop and refine highly predictive models”, Drug DiscoveryToday (2013), 18, 472 - 478.

  • 13. Open-Source Pharma Bellagio, Italy 7/16/2014 – 7/18/2014 13 Crowd-Sourcing: A new way for solving problems(?) Will crowd-sourcing solve all the problems? Likely not. Crowd sourcing offers opportunities but it is not without risks. For crowd sourcing to be successful/innovative the task needs to be structured right. Murcko & Walters, “Alpha Shock” J Comput Aided Mol Des 2012, 26, 97-102 Kittur et al. “The Future of Crowd Work” 16th ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW 2013) Will crowd-sourcing be the future way of drug discovery? Maybe, …. Drug Discovery will definitely be different from what it is now. Potential framework for future crowd work. Requires • Intelligent work decomposition • sophisticated workflow design • high level of collaborative work • quality assurance. Simple crowd work • tendency to be mechanical • not innovative • has exploitive tendency Example: Amazon MechanicalTurk
