The Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR) Lite Principles to ensure utility of computational toxicology models

Sulev Sild

Many types of computational models are used in animal-free chemical safety assessment. These are used to make predictions for numerous endpoints, primarily focusing on the hazardous properties of, or exposure to, a chemical substance. The models use information from chemical structures and/or proper...

Usability of machine learning-based novel approach methodologies (NAMs) for hazard identification in chemical risk assessment.

Geven Piir

Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches have the potential to make better-informed decisions in chemical hazard identification while reducing animal testing. Their application in the context of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for Hazard Identification in Chemicals Risk As...
