But what if a machine could learn the language of chemistry — and predict binders in minutes?\n\n### **The problem.**  \n Only **0.2–0.3%** of molecules in the BELKA dataset are true binders. A naive \"always non-binder\" model scores 99.7% accuracy — and finds **zero** drugs.\n\n### **What we did.**  \nWe pitted three fundamentally different approaches against this extreme imbalance:\n- **XGBoost** (fingerprints + chemistry rules)\n- **1D CNN** (SMILES as text)\n- **GNN** (atoms as graphs)\n\n### No single model wins **everything**.  \n→ One finds the *most* binders.  \n→ Another makes *zero* false positives.  \n→ A third *ranks* best when you can't afford to validate everything.\n\n##### The right choice? It depends entirely on your budget, your lab capacity, and how many false alarms you can tolerate.\n\n## 1.1 Background & Context\n**The Challenge: Predicting Molecular Binding**\n\nIn drug discovery, identifying molecules that bind to specific protein targets is a critical first step. Currently, traditional experimental methods are slow and expensive as screening millions of compounds can take months and cost millions of dollars. This is where machine learning comes in.\nMachine learning offers a faster, cheaper alternative. By training models on experimentally validated binding data, we can predict whether new molecules will bind to a target protein.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n**The BELKA Dataset**\n\nThis project uses the Big Encoded Library for Chemical Assessment (BELKA) dataset, provided by Leash Biosciences. The team physically tested approximately 133 million small molecules using DNA-encoded chemical library (DEL) technology. \n\nThe dataset includes:\n* Training set: 98,415,610 molecules with known binding labels\n* Test set: 3,000,000 molecules (labels withheld for competition)\n* Features: SMILES strings + building block decomposition (buildingblk1, buildingblk2, buildingblk3)\n\n**The Three Protein Targets**\n\nEach molecule was tested against one of three protein targets:\n* BRD4 (Bromodomain-containing protein 4): Involved in cancer cell growth and gene transcription\n* HSA (Human Serum Albumin): Most abundant protein in blood; transports hormones, fatty acids, and drugs\n* sEH (Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase): Regulates inflammation and blood pressure\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n**SMILES: The Language of Molecules**\n\nChemists represent molecules as text using SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System). For example:\n* Aspirin: CC(=O)OC1=CC=CC=C1C(=O)O\n* Caffeine: CN1C=NC2=C1C(=O)N(C(=O)N2C)C\n\nThis text representation allows us to apply natural language processing techniques (like CNNs) to molecular data.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n**Class Imbalance**\n\nSomething that immediately comes to notice when viewing the dataset is the severe imbalance between binders and non binders. For example:\n\n* BRD4: ~0.25% binders\n* HSA: ~0.19% binders\n* sEH: ~0.27% binders\n\nWe will discuss the implications of such a heavily skewed dataset and what steps we do to combat this throughout this notebook. ","metadata":{}},{"cell_type":"markdown","source":"## 1.2 Our Approach\nIn this notebook, we implement and compare **three** different **machine learning approaches**:\n1. **XGBoost with Morgan Fingerprints** – Traditional cheminformatics fingerprints representing molecular substructures\n2. **CNN on SMILES strings** – Treating molecules like text with character-level convolutions\n3. **GNN on Molecular Graphs** – Modeling atoms as nodes and bonds as edges for the most chemically intuitive representation\n\nDue to computational constraints — the full dataset of 98 million molecules requires ~40GB of RAM — we work with a 100,000-molecule sample for development and prototyping. This allows us to iterate quickly while still capturing the essential patterns of the data. The memory challenges and our solutions are discussed throughout the implementation sections. \n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n**Evaluation Metrics**\n\nThroughout this notebook, we calculate and compare the metrics below to evaluate model performance. Given the extreme class imbalance (0.2-0.3% binders), accuracy alone is misleading — we focus primarily on AUC-ROC, Recall, and F1-Score.\n\n\n| Metric | What It Measures | Why It Matters |\n|--------|------------------|----------------|\n| **Accuracy** | Overall correct predictions | Misleading for imbalanced data (but shown for completeness) |\n| **Precision** | Of molecules predicted as binders, how many are correct | Low precision means many false alarms |\n| **Recall** | Of actual binders, how many did we find? | Most important metric for drug discovery — missing a real binder is expensive |\n| **F1-Score** | Harmonic mean of precision and recall | Balanced measure of performance |\n| **AUC-ROC** | Ability to distinguish binders from non-binders | Best metric for imbalanced classification — threshold-independent |\n\n- **Precision** = ```TP / (TP + FP)``` — Out of all molecules predicted as positive (binders), how many are actually binders?\n- **Recall** = ```TP / (TP + FN)``` — Out of all actual binders, how many did the model correctly identify?\n- **F1-Score** = ```2 × (Precision × Recall) / (Precision + Recall)``` — The harmonic mean of precision and recall. The harmonic mean penalizes extreme imbalances more heavily than the arithmetic mean (e.g., if precision=1.0 but recall=0.1, F1 ≈ 0.18).\n- **AUC-ROC** (Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve): The ROC curve plots True Positive Rate (Recall) against False Positive Rate (FPR = FP / (FP + TN)). AUC measures the probability that a randomly chosen binder is ranked higher than a randomly chosen non-binder.\n    - AUC = 1.0 → Perfect separation\n    - AUC = 0.5 → No better than random guessing (coin flip)\n    - AUC < 0.5 → Worse than random (possible sign of label errors or model issues)","metadata":{}},{"cell_type":"markdown","source":"## 1.3 Imports & Setup\nHere, we import all necessary libraries for data handling, molecular processing, machine learning, and evaluation.","metadata":{}},{"cell_type":"code","source":"pip install rdkit","metadata":{"trusted":true,"execution":{"iopub.status.busy":"2026-06-04T12:52:08.695168Z","iopub.execute_input":"2026-06-04T12:52:08.695617Z","iopub.status.idle":"2026-06-04T12:52:11.567549Z","shell.execute_reply.started":"2026-06-04T12:52:08.695589Z","shell.execute_reply":"2026-06-04T12:52:11.565626Z"}},"outputs":[],"execution_count":null},{"cell_type":"code","source":"# ============ CELL 1: Imports and Setup ============\nimport numpy as np\nimport pandas as pd\nimport pyarrow.parquet as pq\nfrom rdkit import Chem\nfrom rdkit.Chem import rdFingerprintGenerator, Descriptors\nfrom rdkit.DataStructs import ConvertToNumpyArray\nfrom sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split\nfrom sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler\nfrom xgboost import XGBClassifier\nfrom sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score, precision_score, recall_score, f1_score, roc_auc_score, confusion_matrix\nimport gc\nimport joblib\n\nprint(\"✅ Imports loaded\")","metadata":{"_uuid":"8f2839f25d086af736a60e9eeb907d3b93b6e0e5","_cell_guid":"b1076dfc-b9ad-4769-8c92-a6c4dae69d19","trusted":true,"execution":{"iopub.status.busy":"2026-06-04T12:52:06.847309Z","iopub.execute_input":"2026-06-04T12:52:06.847607Z","iopub.status.idle":"2026-06-04T12:52:08.693517Z","shell.execute_reply.started":"2026-06-04T12:52:06.847583Z","shell.execute_reply":"2026-06-04T12:52:08.691821Z"}},"outputs":[],"execution_count":null},{"cell_type":"markdown","source":"**Import Notes:**\n- **RDKit** is the core cheminformatics library — handles SMILES parsing, fingerprint generation, and molecular property calculations\n- **PyArrow** enables efficient reading of the large Parquet dataset files\n- **XGBoost** provides the gradient-boosted tree implementation with built-in handling for imbalanced data via ```scale_pos_weight```\n- **Scikit-learn** utilities handle data splitting, scaling, and comprehensive metrics\n- GC (Garbage Collection) and Joblib help manage memory and save trained models","metadata":{}},{"cell_type":"markdown","source":"# 2.0 XGBoost Model\nXGBoost is a gradient-boosted tree model that excels with tabular data and handles class imbalance well through its scale_pos_weight parameter.

Feature engineering still matters (XGBoost)**\n\nDespite being the \"oldest\" approach, XGBoost with Morgan fingerprints achieved the highest AUC (0.886). The feature importance analysis revealed that molecular structure (captured by fingerprints) dominates binding prediction — protein identity contributed less than 1% of total importance. This is a valuable biological insight: binding depends primarily on the molecule itself, not which target it was tested against.\n\n**2. CNNs are great for sensitivity (CNN)**\n\nBy treating SMILES as text with multiple convolutional kernels (sizes 3, 4, 5, 7), the CNN learned to detect chemical patterns at different scales. It found 65.7% of all binders — the highest recall among all models. However, this came at the cost of 1,826 false positives (precision = 1.2%). If you have the resources to experimentally validate many candidates, the CNN is your best choice.\n\n**3. GNNs are elegant but conservative (GNN)**\n\nThe GNN — with only 4,700 parameters — is the most chemically intuitive model. It learns directly from molecular graphs, where atoms communicate with their neighbors through message passing. However, it was extremely conservative, achieving perfect precision (1.00) but only finding 1 of 7 binders (recall = 0.143). This suggests that with our limited data (only 165 binders in the original training set), the GNN struggled to learn generalizable binding patterns and defaulted to predicting \"non-binder\" unless extremely confident.\n\n**4. Imbalance handling is not one-size-fits-all**\n\nEach model required a different strategy:\n- XGBoost: `scale_pos_weight` parameter\n- CNN: `class_weight` dictionary in Keras\n- GNN: Oversampling in data preprocessing\n\nAll three strategies worked, but they produced different behavior profiles. Therefore, if you need high recall, use strong weights (CNN). If you need high precision, use moderate weights (XGBoost) or oversampling (GNN).\n\n---\n\n## 6.3 Limitations & Future Work\n\n**Limitations of this study:**\n\n| Limitation | Impact | Mitigation |\n|------------|--------|------------|\n| **Sample size (100k molecules)** | Models trained on only 0.1% of full dataset | Results may improve with full 98M dataset |\n| **Limited binder count (165)** | GNN struggled to learn; all models affected | Full dataset has ~250k binders total |\n| **Single train/validation/test split** | Results may vary with different splits | Cross-validation would be more robust |\n| **No hyperparameter tuning** | Models may not be optimally configured | Grid search or Bayesian optimization could improve all models |\n| **GNN used simplified features (6-dim)** | May miss some chemical information | Full 70+ RDKit features could improve GNN performance |\n\n**Promising directions for future work:**\n\n1. **Complementary methods** — Average predictions from XGBoost + CNN to balance precision and recall. The complementary strengths suggest an ensemble could outperform any single model.\n\n2. **Full dataset training** — With access to the complete 98M molecules, all three models would likely improve, especially the GNN which needs more binder examples.\n\n3. **Threshold tuning** — We used the default 0.5 threshold for XGBoost and CNN. Optimizing the threshold for each metric (e.g., maximizing F1 or recall) would improve practical performance.\n\n---\n\n## 6.4 Practical Recommendations\n\n**If you're applying this to real drug discovery:**\n\n```\nStart: What's your constraint?\n        |\n        ├── Limited budget / high cost per test?\n        │         └──→ Use XGBoost (best AUC, reliable rankings)\n        │\n        ├── Can test many candidates?\n        │         └──→ Use CNN (highest recall, finds most binders)\n        │\n        ├── Need perfect precision (no false positives)?\n        │         └──→ Use GNN (1.00 precision, but very low recall)\n        │\n        └── Want the best overall?\n                  └──→ Ensemble XGBoost + CNN (average probabilities)\n```\n\n---\n\n## 6.5 Closing Thoughts\n\nThis notebook demonstrates that **there is no single \"best\" model for molecular binding prediction** — the optimal choice depends on your specific goals and constraints.\n\n- **XGBoost** is the workhorse: robust, interpretable, and best at ranking.\n- **CNN** is the explorer: willing to make mistakes to find more binders.\n- **GNN** is the specialist: elegant and precise, but needs more data.\n\nThe extreme class imbalance (0.2-0.3% binders) made this a challenging problem, but all three models successfully learned meaningful patterns — as evidenced by AUC scores above 0.82. The BELKA dataset represents a massive resource for drug discovery, and machine learning approaches like these can dramatically accelerate the screening process, reducing years of lab work to minutes of computation.\n\n**The most promising path forward is not choosing one model, but combining them.** An ensemble that averages XGBoost's strong ranking with CNN's high recall would likely outperform any individual approach — a direction worth exploring in future work.\n\n---","metadata":{}},{"cell_type":"markdown","source":"***Author: Charisse Lai***","metadata":{}}]}
