Abstract
Characterizations in terms of fractals are typically employed for systems with complex and multiscale descriptions. A prominent example of such systems is provided by the human brain, which can be idealized as a complex dynamical system made of many interacting subunits. The human brain can be modeled in terms of observable variables together with their spatio-temporal-functional relations. Computational intelligence is a research field bridging many nature-inspired computational methods, such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, and evolutionary and swarm intelligence optimization techniques. Typical problems faced by means of computational intelligence methods include those of recognition, such as classification and prediction. Although historically conceived to operate in some vector space, such methods have been recently extended to the so-called nongeometric spaces, considering labeled graphs as the most general example of such patterns. Here, we suggest that fractal analysis and computational intelligence methods can be exploited together in neuroscience research. Fractal characterizations can be used to (i) assess scale-invariant properties and (ii) offer numeric, feature-based representations to complement the usually more complex pattern structures encountered in neurosciences. Computational intelligence methods could be used to exploit such fractal characterizations, considering also the possibility to perform data-driven analysis of nongeometric input spaces, therby overcoming the intrinsic limits related to Euclidean geometry.

Abstract
We have developed a novel Markov Chain modeling system that considers vectors of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) by their AF status over a period of time. Our model examines the impact of catheter ablation of AF upon the dynamics of a patient's AF status and their potential return to sinus rhythm. We prove several theorems to determine the probabilities of patients achieving sinus rhythm or progressing to permanent AF. Additionally, we observed aggregation of patients within the paroxysmal AF state in simulation. The aggregating property of Markov chains illustrated the potential benefits of catheter ablation on healthcare resource allocation.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are useful antimicrobial drug-release systems, but some nanoparticles also exhibit antibacterial activity. However, investigation of their antibacterial activity is a difficult and slow process due to the numerous combinations of nanoparticle size, shape, and composition vs. biological tests, assay organisms, and multiple activity parameters to be measured. Additionally, the overuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of resistant bacterial strains with different metabolic networks. Computational models may speed up this process, but the models reported to date do not to consider all the previous factors, and the data sources are dispersed and not curated. Thus, herein, we used an information fusion, perturbation-theory machine learning (IFPTML) approach, which is introduced by us for the first time, to fit a model for the discovery of antibacterial nanoparticles. The dataset studied had 15 classes of nanoparticles (1-100 nm) with most cases in the range of 1-50 nm vs. >20 pathogenic bacteria species with different metabolic networks. The nanoparticles studied included metal nanoparticles of Au, Ag, and Cu; oxide nanoparticles of Zn, Cu, La, Al, Fe, Sn, Ti, Cd, and Si; and metal salt nanoparticles of CuI and CdS. We used the SOFT.PTML software (our own application) with a user-friendly interface for the IFPTML calculations and a control statistics package. Using SOFT.PTML, we found a linear logistic regression equation that could model 4 biological activity parameters using only 8 variables with χ2 = 2265.75, p-level <0.05, sensitivity, Sn = 79.4, and specificity, Sp = 99.3, for 3213 cases (nanoparticle-bacteria pairs) in the training series. The model had Sn = 80.8 and Sp = 99.3 for 2114 cases in the external validation series. We also developed a random forest non-linear model with higher values of Sn and Sp = 98-99% in the training/validation series, although it was more complicated to use. SOFT.PTML has been demonstrated to be a useful tool for the analysis of complex data in nanotechnology. We also introduced a new anabolism-catabolism unbalance index of metabolic networks to reveal the biological connotation of the IFPTML predictions for antibacterial nanoparticles. These new models open a new door for the discovery of NPs vs. new bacterial species and strains with different topological structures of their metabolic networks.

Abstract
The prediction of adverse drug reactions in the discovery of new medicines is highly challenging. In the task of predicting the adverse reactions of chemical compounds, information about different targets is often available. Although we can focus on every adverse drug reaction prediction separately, multilabel approaches have been proven useful in many research areas for taking advantage of the relationship among the targets. However, when approaching the prediction problem from a multilabel point of view, we have to deal with the lack of information for some labels. This missing labels problem is a relevant issue in the field of cheminformatics approaches. This paper aims to predict the adverse drug reaction of commercial drugs using a multilabel approach where the possible presence of missing labels is also taken into consideration. We propose the use of multilabel methods to deal with the prediction of a large set of 27 different adverse reaction targets. We also propose the use of multilabel methods specifically designed to deal with the missing labels problem to test their ability to solve this difficult problem. The results show the validity of the proposed approach, demonstrating a superior performance of the multilabel method compared with the single-label approach in addressing the problem of adverse drug reaction prediction.

Abstract
Biological Ecosystem Networks (BENs) are webs of biological species (nodes) establishing trophic relationships (links). Experimental confirmation of all possible links is difficult and generates a huge volume of information. Consequently, computational prediction becomes an important goal. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are Machine Learning (ML) algorithms that may be used to predict BENs, using as input Shannon entropy information measures (Shk) of known ecosystems to train them. However, it is difficult to select a priori which ANN topology will have a higher accuracy. Interestingly, Auto Machine Learning (AutoML) methods focus on the automatic selection of the more efficient ML algorithms for specific problems. In this work, a preliminary study of a new approach to AutoML selection of ANNs is proposed for the prediction of BENs. We call it the Net-Net AutoML approach, because it uses for the first time Shk values of both networks involving BENs (networks to be predicted) and ANN topologies (networks to be tested). Twelve types of classifiers have been tested for the Net-Net model including linear, Bayesian, trees-based methods, multilayer perceptrons and deep neuronal networks. The best Net-Net AutoML model for 338,050 outputs of 10 ANN topologies for links of 69 BENs was obtained with a deep fully connected neuronal network, characterized by a test accuracy of 0.866 and a test AUROC of 0.935. This work paves the way for the application of Net-Net AutoML to other systems or ML algorithms.

Abstract
The electrokinetic properties of the rumen microbiota are involved in cell surface adhesion and microbial metabolism. An in vitro study was carried out in batch culture to determine the effects of three levels of special surface area (SSA) of biomaterials and four levels of surface tension (ST) of culture medium on electrokinetic properties (Zeta potential, ξ; electrokinetic mobility, μe), fermentation parameters (volatile fatty acids, VFAs), and ST over fermentation processes (ST-a, γ). The obtained results were combined with previously published data (digestibility, D; pH; concentration of ammonia nitrogen, c(NH3-N)) to establish a predictive artificial neural network (ANN) model. Concepts of dual-time series analysis, perturbation theory (PT), and Box-Jenkins Operators were applied for the first time to develop an ANN model to predict the variations of the electrokinetic properties of microbiota. The best dual-time series Radial Basis Functions (RBR) model for ξ of rumen microbiota predicted ξ for >30,000 cases with a correlation coefficient >0.8. This model provided insight into the correlations between electrokinetic property (zeta potential) of rumen microbiota and the perturbations of physical factors (specific surface area and surface tension) of media, digestibility of substrate, and their metabolites (NH3-N, VFAs) in relation to environmental factors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hundreds of thousands of data points are now routinely generated in clinical trials by molecular profiling and NGS technologies. A true translation of this data into knowledge is not possible without analysis and interpretation in a well-defined biology context. Currently, there are many public and commercial pathway tools and network models that can facilitate such analysis. At the same time, insights and knowledge that can be gained is highly dependent on the underlying biological content of these resources. Crowdsourcing can be employed to guarantee the accuracy and transparency of the biological content underlining the tools used to interpret rich molecular data. Areas covered: In this review, the authors describe crowdsourcing in drug discovery. The focal point is the efforts that have successfully used the crowdsourcing approach to verify and augment pathway tools and biological network models. Technologies that enable the building of biological networks with the community are also described. Expert opinion: A crowd of experts can be leveraged for the entire development process of biological network models, from ontologies to the evaluation of their mechanistic completeness. The ultimate goal is to facilitate biomarker discovery and personalized medicine by mechanistically explaining patients' differences with respect to disease prevention, diagnosis, and therapy outcome.

Abstract
As an extension of the conventional quantitative structure activity relationship models, proteochemometric (PCM) modelling is a computational method that can predict the bioactivity relations between multiple ligands and multiple targets. Traditional PCM modelling includes three essential elements: descriptors (including target descriptors, ligand descriptors and cross-term descriptors), bioactivity data and appropriate learning functions that link the descriptors to the bioactivity data. Since its appearance, PCM modelling has developed rapidly over the past decade by taking advantage of the progress of different descriptors and machine learning techniques, along with the increasing amounts of available bioactivity data. Specifically, the new emerging target descriptors and cross-term descriptors not only significantly increased the performance of PCM modelling but also expanded its application scope from traditional protein-ligand interaction to more abundant interactions, including protein-peptide, protein-DNA and even protein-protein interactions. In this review, target descriptors and cross-term descriptors, as well as the corresponding application scope, are intensively summarized. Additionally, we look forward to seeing PCM modelling extend into new application scopes, such as Target-Catalyst-Ligand systems, with the further development of descriptors, machine learning techniques and increasing amounts of available bioactivity data.

Abstract
Background: Gram-positive cocci are increasingly antibiotic-resistant bacteria responsible for causing serious diseases. Chemoinformatics can help to rationalize the discovery of more potent and safer antibacterial drugs. We have developed a chemoinformatic model for simultaneous prediction of anti-cocci activities, and profiles involving absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination and toxicity (ADMET). Results: A dataset containing 48,874 cases from many different chemicals assayed under dissimilar experimental conditions was created. The best model displayed accuracies around 93% in both training and prediction (test) sets. Quantitative contributions of several fragments to the biological effects were calculated and analyzed. Multiple biological effects of the investigational drug JNJ-Q2 were correctly predicted. Conclusion: Our chemoinformatic model can be used as powerful tool for virtual screening of promising anti-cocci agents.
