Abstract

In this article Olga describes how we extend the application of Gaussian Processes technique to classification problems. We explore two approaches, an intrinsic Gaussian Processes classification technique and a probit treatment of the Gaussian Processes regression method. Here we describe the basic concepts of the methods and apply these techniques to building category models of blood-brain barrier penetration and hERG inhibition. We also compare performance of Gaussian Processes for classification to other known computational methods, namely decision trees, bagging and probit PLS.
