Prior Knowledge for Predictive Modeling: The Case of Acute Aquatic Toxicity.

ABSTRACT: Early assessment of the potential impact of chemicals on health and the environment requires toxicological properties of the molecules. Predictive modeling is often used to estimate the property values in silico from pre-existing experimental data, which is often scarce and uncertain. One of the ways to advance the predictive modeling procedure might be the use of knowledge existing in the field. Scientific publications contain a vast amount of knowledge. However, the amount of manual work required to process the enormous volumes of information gathered in scientific articles might hinder its utilization. This work explores the opportunity of semiautomated knowledge extraction from scientific papers and investigates a few potential ways of its use for predictive modeling. The knowle
