Popis: Machine learning tools, in particular support vector machines (SVM), Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) and Genetic Programming (GP), are increasingly used in pharmaceuticals research and development. They are inherently suitable for use with ‘noisy’, high dimensional (many variables) data, as is commonly used in cheminformatic (i.e. In silico screening), bioinformatic (i.e. bio-marker studies, using DNA chip data) and other types of drug research studies. These aspects are demonstrated via review of their current usage and future prospects in context with drug discovery activities.
