Quantitative Estimate of Druglikeness (QED)#

Type of objective function: discrete Environment to run this objective function: poli chem

About#

This objective function returns the Quantitative Estimate of Druglikeness (QED) using RDKit [RDKit, 2006]. You can specify whether you are measuring the QED of a SMILES string, or a SELFIES.

Prerequisites#

None. This black box should work out-of-the-box.

How to run#

import numpy as np
from poli.objective_repository import QEDProblemFactory, QEDBlackBox

# Creating the black box
f = QEDBlackBox(string_representation="SELFIES")

# Creating a problem
problem = QEDProblemFactory().create(string_representation="SELFIES")
f, x0 = problem.black_box, problem.x0

# Example input: a single carbon
x = np.array([["[C]"]])

# Querying:
y = f(x)
print(y)  # Should be close to 0.35978
