Researchers have published a study comparing various quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) methods on a novel multitask dataset for predicting drug molecule permeability across artificial membranes. The dataset includes 143 molecules tested on six different model membranes. The study found that traditional physico-chemical descriptors outperformed deep learning models, including a pre-trained transformer architecture, for this specific, limited-sample-size permeability prediction task.
