Foundations of molecular similarity analysis
Rather different computational approaches are successfully employed to search for novel active compounds. Among those are various similarity-based methods that sometimes use only simple molecular representations. The complexity of computational tools and molecular representations does not correlate with their success in virtual screening and in recognizing increasingly diverse structures having...
متن کاملMolecular similarity analysis in virtual screening: foundations, limitations and novel approaches.
The success of ligand-based virtual-screening calculations is influenced highly by the nature of target-specific structure-activity relationships. This might pose severe constraints on the ability to recognize diverse structures with similar activity. Accordingly, the performance of similarity-based methods strongly depends on the class of compound that is studied, and approaches of different d...
متن کاملSemantic Similarity: Foundations
This paper investigates measures of semantic similarity between conversations from an axiomatic perspective. We abstract away from real conversations, representing them as sequences of formulas, equipped with a notion of semantic interpretation that maps them into a different space. An example we use to illustrate our approach is the language of propositional logic with its classical semantics....
متن کاملFoundations of Similarity and Utility
In this paper we discuss a rigorous foundation of similarity reasoning based on the concept of utility. If utility is formulated in mathematical terms it can serve as a formal specification for a similarity system. However, utility can also be formulated in informal ways. We consider subjective versions, competing ones and those that change dynamically over time. These are illustrated by exampl...
متن کاملSimilarity of personal preferences: Theoretical foundations and empirical analysis
We study the problem of defining similarity measures on preferences from a decisiontheoretic point of view. We propose a similarity measure, called probabilistic distance, that originates from the Kendall’s tau function, a well-known concept in the statistical literature. We compare this measure to other existing similarity measures on preferences. The key advantage of this measure is its exten...
