Created by the Accelerating Therapeutics for Opportunites in Medicine (ATOM) Consortium
AMPL is an open-source, modular, extensible software pipeline for building and sharing models to advance in silico drug discovery.
The ATOM Modeling PipeLine (AMPL) extends the functionality of DeepChem and supports an array of machine learning and molecular featurization tools. AMPL is an end-to-end data-driven modeling pipeline to generate machine learning models that can predict key safety and pharmacokinetic-relevant parameters. AMPL has been benchmarked on a large collection of pharmaceutical datasets covering a wide range of parameters.
A pre-print of a manuscript describing this project is available through ArXiv. readthedocs are available as well here.
This release marks the first public availability of the ATOM Modeling PipeLine (AMPL). Installation instructions for setting up and running AMPL are described below. Basic examples of model fitting and prediction are also included. AMPL has been deployed to and tested in multiple computing environments by ATOM Consortium members. Detailed documentation for the majority of the available features is included, but the documentation does not cover all developed features. This is a living software project with active development. Check back for continued updates. Feedback is welcomed and appreciated, and the project is open to contributions!

Welcome to the ATOM Modeling PipeLine (AMPL) for Drug Discovery! These instructions will explain how to install this pipeline for model fitting and prediction.
AMPL is a Python 3 package that has been developed and run in a specific conda environment. The following prerequisites are necessary to install AMPL:
- conda (Anaconda 3 or Miniconda 3, Python 3)
git clone https://github.com/ATOMconsortium/AMPL.git
cd conda
conda create -y -n atomsci --file conda_package_list.txt
conda activate atomsci
pip install -r pip_requirements.txt
- Note: Depending on system performance, creating the environment can take some time.
Go to the AMPL root directory and install the AMPL package:
conda activate atomsci
cd ..
./build.sh && ./install.sh
- After this process, you will have an
atomsciconda environment with all dependencies installed. The name of the AMPL package isatomsci-ampland is installed in theinstall.shscript to the environment with conda'spip.
- More details on installation can be found in Advanced installation.
An example Jupyter notebook is available to get you started: atomsci/ddm/Delaney_Example.ipynb
AMPL includes a suite of software tests. This section explains how to run a very simple test that is fast to run. The Python test fits a random forest model using Mordred descriptors on a set of compounds from Delaney, et al with solubility data. A molecular scaffold-based split is used to create the training and test sets. In addition, an external holdout set is used to demonstrate how to make predictions on new compounds.
To run the Delaney Python script that curates a dataset, fits a model, and makes predictions, run the following commands:
conda activate atomsci
cd atomsci/ddm/test/integrative/delaney_RF
pytest
- Note: This test generally takes a few minutes on a modern system
The important files for this test are listed below:
test_delany_RF.py: This script loads and curates the dataset, generates a model pipeline object, and fits a model. The model is reloaded from the filesystem and then used to predict solubilities for a new dataset.config_delaney_fit_RF.json: Basic parameter file for fittingconfig_delaney_predict_RF.json: Basic parameter file for predicting
- More details on examples and tests can be found in Advanced testing.
AMPL enables tasks for modeling and prediction from data ingestion to data analysis and can be broken down into the following stages:
- Data ingestion and curation
- Featurization
- Model training and tuning
- Prediction generation
- Visualization and analysis
- Generation of RDKit molecular SMILES structures
- Processing of qualified or censored data processing
- Curation of activity and property values
- Extended connectivity fingerprints (ECFP)
- Graph convolution latent vectors from DeepChem
- Chemical descriptors from Mordred package
- Descriptors generated by MOE (requires MOE license)
- Test set selection
- Cross-validation
- Uncertainty quantification
- Hyperparameter optimization
- scikit-learn random forest models
- XGBoost models
- Fully connected neural networks
- Graph convolution models
- Visualization and analysis tools
Details of running specific features are within the parameter (options) documentation. More detailed documentation is in the library documentation.
AMPL can be run from the command line or by importing into Python scripts and Jupyter notebooks.
AMPL can be used to fit and predict molecular activities and properties by importing the appropriate modules. See the examples for more descriptions on how to fit and make predictions using AMPL.
AMPL includes many parameters to run various model fitting and prediction tasks.
- Pipeline options (parameters) can be set within JSON files containing a parameter list.
- The parameter list with detailed explanations of each option can be found at atomsci/ddm/docs/PARAMETERS.md.
- Example pipeline JSON files can be found in the tests directory and the example directory.
AMPL includes detailed docstrings and comments to explain the modules. Full HTML documentation of the Python library is available with the package at atomsci/ddm/docs/build/html/index.html.
- More information on AMPL usage can be found in Advanced AMPL usage
AMPL can fit models from the command line with:
python model_pipeline.py --config_file test.json
Hyperparameter optimization for AMPL model fitting is available to run on SLURM clusters. Examples of running hyperparameter optimization will be added.
AMPL has been developed and tested on the following Linux systems:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 with SLURM
- Ubuntu 16.04
To remove AMPL from a conda environment use:
conda activate atomsci
pip uninstall atomsci-ampl
To remove the atomsci conda environment entirely from a system use:
conda deactivate
conda remove --name atomsci --all
To run the full set of tests, use Pytest from the test directory:
conda activate atomsci
cd atomsci/ddm/test
pytest
Several of the tests take some time to fit. These tests can be submitted to a SLURM cluster as a batch job. Example general SLURM submit scripts are included as pytest_slurm.sh.
conda activate atomsci
cd atomsci/ddm/test/integrative/delaney_NN
sbatch pytest_slurm.sh
cd ../../../..
cd atomsci/ddm/test/integrative/wenzel_NN
sbatch pytest_slurm.sh
AMPL works without internet access. Curation, fitting, and prediction do not require internet access.
However, the public datasets used in tests and examples are not included in the repo due to licensing concerns. These are automatically downloaded when the tests are run.
If a system does not have internet access, the datasets will need to be downloaded before running the tests and examples. From a system with internet access, run the following shell script to download the public datasets. Then, copy the AMPL directory to the offline system.
cd atomsci/ddm/test
bash download_datset.sh
cd ../../..
# Copy AMPL directory to offline system
To install the AMPL for development, use the following commands instead:
conda activate atomsci
./build.sh && ./install_dev.sh
This will create a namespace package in your conda directory that points back to your git working directory, so every time you reimport a module you'll be in sync with your working code. Since site-packages is already in your sys.path, you won't have to fuss with PYTHONPATH or setting sys.path in your notebooks.
Versions are managed through GitHub tags on this repository.
