Abstract

An extensive examination of machinemachine learning models created specifically to meet these challenges was provided in this chapter. The topic begins with a thorough analysis of the established techniques for predicting drug toxicity, emphasizing their drawbacks and the need for more advanced strategies. It then transitions to a detailed examination of various machine learning techniques, with a focus on supervised and unsupervised learning methods, including neural networks, autoencoders, and hybrid models. Emphasis was placed on the advantages these methods offer in improving prediction accuracy and robustness. Additionally, the chapter addresses crucial evaluation and validation techniques, with a particular focus on external validation, to assess model generalizability and reliability. Finally, ethical and regulatory considerations are discussed, underscoringunderscoring the importance of adhering to established standards to ensure responsible model deployment. The purpose of this chapter was to provide researchers and practitioners in the field with a comprehensive understanding of state-of-the-art machine learning techniques for drug toxicity prediction.
