What are small molecules ?





Chemical compounds with small molecular mass
Important in the synthesis and maintenance of larger
molecules (DNA, RNA and proteins).
High potential as medicine.
Increasing number of databases: PubChem, ChemDB,
ChemBank…
Standard task in in silico drug discovery:
Classifying an compound with unknown activity
Representation of small molecules

Chemical (Conventional) Descriptors:

Recent works on small molecule
classification

Mariginalized Kernel (MK)
 Tsuda
et.al 2002, Kashima et al. (ICML 2003)
 Features are number of labeled paths of random walks

Improved Mariginalized Kernel
 Mahe
et al. (ICML 2005)
 Avoid totters (walks that visit a node which was visited
in two previous stages)
Recent works on small molecule
Classification

Swamidass et al. (Bioinformatics 2003)
 Kernels
based on 3D Euclidean coordinates of atoms
 One histogram per pair of atom labels
 Similarity between histograms

Cao et al. (ISMB 2008, Bioinformatics 2010)
 Use
Maximum Common Substructure (MCS) as a
measure of similarity
 Randomly pick ”basis” compounds

Features of a molecule are MCS between that molecule and
all basis compounds
Nearest Neighbor Classification

Nearest Neighbor (NN) Classification
 The
label of a molecule is predicted based on ones of
its nearest neighbors
 NN Error < 2*Bayes error (Cover et al. 1967)
 One of most used classifiers in small molecule
classification because of its simplicity
Nearest Neighbor Classification
Drawbacks

Speed/Memory
 Distances
to all traning set points should be computed
 All the traning set is stored in the memory

Overfitting
Centroid based Nearest Neighbor
(CBNN) Classificatrion

CBNN Classification



Centroids are picked from each class
Bioactivity of a small molecule is predicted based on its nearest centroids
CBNN tackle NN drawbacks
Centroid Selection

Hart et al., 1968 introduced Condensed NN
Classification
 Initially,
the set of centroids S includes one point
 Iteratively go through each remaining point p, if its
nearest neighbor in S has the opposite class, p is added
to S

Fast condensed NN Classification (Angiulli et al.,
ICML 2005)
S
is assigned to medoids of each class
 For each point in S their Voronoi cell is build

In each Voronoi cell if there exist a point from different class is added to S
Centroid Selection

Gabriel Graph (Gabriel et al. 1969,1980)
 There

exist an edge between two points u,v
If for any point w dist(u,v) < min{dist(u,w),dist(w,v)}
 After
the graph is built, connected nodes from different
classes are selected
Removed

w
u
v
Centroid Selection

Relative Neighborhood Graph (Toussiant et al.
1980)
 There

exists an edge between two points u,v if
for any point w, dist(u,v) < max{dist(u,w),dist(w,v)}
 After
the graph is built, connected nodes from different
classes are selected
Combinatorial Centroid Selection

Combinatorial Centroid Selection(CCS)
 Given
a training set of points (compounds) where
distances satisfy triangle inequalities
 Asked to find the minimum number of centroids
(selected compounds) such that for each point, its
nearest centroid is from same class

For simplicity, we only deal with binary classification
i.e. C1 first class and C2 second class.
CCS Complexity

k-CCS problem
 Asked
to select a set of points with cardinality less than
k such that for each point, its nearest centroid is from
same class

k-CCS is NP-Complete
 K-Dominating
Set (k-DS): given a graph G(V,E), ask
whether there exists V' ⊆ V, |V'| ≤ k and each node
v∊V either exist in V' or it is adjecent to a node in V'
 k-DS ≤p k-CCS

This reduction states no approximation better than
O(log n) exists for CCS unless P = NP

due to pairwise constraints among points

the number of constraints

We will call this method CCNN1
Special case of CCS

When the majority of the compounds do not exhibit
the bioactivity of interest
 All
compounds that exhibit bioactivity of interest are
picked as centroids
 We minimize the number of compounds chosen from
compounds that does not exhibit the activity of interest


Weinberger et al. NIPS 2006
 Semidefinite
program
 D(xi,xj) = (xi-xj)TM(xi-xj) where M = LTL
s.t. M > 0
 The difference between between-class and within-class
distances is pre-fixed

 It
aims to compute the
“best” M
Classification of new compounds

Input:
 Distances
of new compound Q to the ones in the data-
set

Assumption:
 Bioactivity
level of Q is likely to be similar to its close
neighbors

kNN classifier estimate the bioactivity of Q:
 The
majority bioactivity among its k-nearest neighbors
Querying a compound

Naïve Method
 O(S)

which S is the number element in database.
Binary search tree
 Vantage
Point (VP) tree (Uhlmann 1991)
 Binary tree that recursively partition data space using
distances of data points to randomly picked vantage
point.
VP-Tree


Internal nodes: (Xvp, M, Rptr, Lptr)
M: median distance of among d(Xvp, Xi) for all Xi in
the space partitioned.
Xvp: Vantage point.
Leaves: references to data points
Proximity search in VP-tree


Given a query point q, metric distance d(.,.) and a
proximity radius r
Goal is to find all points x where d(x,q) < r
 If
d(q,Xvp) – r < M recursively search the inner
partition
 If d(q, Xvp) + r > M recursively search the outer
partition
 Else search both
Can we do better?

Select multiple vantage points at each level
 Space
Covering VP (SCVP) Trees (Sahinalp et.al 2003)
 Increasing the chance of inclusion of query in one of
the inner partitions.
Can we do much better?

Instead of selecting random vantage points select
them more intelligently
 Deterministic Multiple Vantage Point (DMVP) Tree
 Select minimum number of multiple vantage points
that cover the entire data collection (OVPS
problem)
 Better space utilization (Optimal redundancy)
 OVPS problem is NP-hard for any wLp

Future work



Further investigation of possible approximation
algorithms for selecting centroids
Combining CCNN (selecting centroids) with metric
learning
Ideally the problem formulation should ask to
ensure the NN of each point in the training set is in
the same class with that point
Adapt CCNN to work with regression datasets
