CoEPrA 2006 - Comparative Evaluation of Prediction Algorithms
http://www.coepra.org/
Dear Colleague,
You are cordially invited to participate in the CoEPrA 2006 Competition,
which will start on April 17, 2006.
CoEPrA (Comparative Evaluation of Prediction Algorithms) is a modeling
competition organized to provide an objective testing for various
classification and regression algorithms via the process of blind prediction.
The problems proposed in the CoEPrA experiment are selected from
cheminformatics,
drug design, QSAR, bioinformatics, computational biology, medicine,
toxicology, microarray gene expression data, and proteomics.
The goal of the CoEPrA competition is to advance the algorithms and
software for modeling chemical, biological, and medical data, with
special emphasis on the prediction of physico-chemical properties
and biological activities from molecular descriptors derived from
the chemical structure.
In addition, CoEPrA will provide a reference database of modeling
datasets that can be used to validate and compare new classification
and regression algorithms.
In each CoEPrA task the participants receive a calibration dataset and
a prediction dataset. The model (classification or regression) derived
from the calibration dataset is used to predict the dependent variable
of the prediction dataset.
These predictions must be deposited before the deadline of each task.
The Organizers and Evaluators for each CoEPrA task will evaluate all
predictions and will anounce the ranking of the participants.

Best regards,
Ovidiu Ivanciuc
