Binary graph classification Binary classification — BACE-1 inhibitory activity (binding results for human beta-secretase 1). SMILES and labels are fixed; molecular graph featurization is implementation-defined. Evaluated by ROC-AUC.
Dataset details
Task
Binary classification — BACE-1 inhibitory activity (binding results for human beta-secretase 1). The primary catalog metric is ROC-AUC.
Data
Binary classification — BACE-1 inhibitory activity (binding results for human beta-secretase 1).
Features
MoleculeNet distributes SMILES and targets, not one mandatory graph featurization. A graph implementation normally derives atom and bond fields with RDKit or DeepChem; results depend on featurizer, salt handling, stereochemistry, and invalid-molecule policy.
Splits and evaluation
The catalog records these protocols or variants: Scaffold split. Evaluation uses ROC-AUC (higher is better). Exact masks or folds must come from the cited release.
Quirks and pitfalls
Small samples, imbalance, missing assay labels, duplicate compounds, and scaffold leakage are common. Missing labels are not negatives. Always report split algorithm, featurizer, metric aggregation, and dataset version; random and scaffold results are not comparable.
