1+# Blood-brain barrier penetration from structure
2+
3+The blood-brain barrier keeps most foreign molecules out of the brain. Drugs for the central nervous system have to cross it; drugs for everything else usually should not. This benchmark asks which way a compound goes, from its structure.
4+
5+## Task
6+
7+Given a drug as a SMILES string, predict the binary blood-brain barrier penetration label: $1$ if the compound penetrates, $0$ if it does not. Submissions are scored by AUROC on TDC’s held-out test set, so higher is better.
8+
9+## Background
10+
11+Martins et al. (2012) built this set for a Bayesian model of blood-brain barrier penetration, and it later travelled into MoleculeNet as "BBBP"; TDC uses 1,975 of its compounds. The task matters in both directions — getting a neurological drug in, and keeping a peripheral drug out of the brain to avoid central side effects — which is why it appears in nearly every ADMET model comparison. It is also the most contested endpoint in this group, with 26 submissions.
12+
13+## Data and evaluation
14+
15+TDC ships the group as one archive (`admet_group`, Harvard Dataverse file 4426004), loaded with
16+`admet_group(path='data/')` from the `tdc.benchmark_group` module. The group’s `bbb_martins` folder holds 1,624 `train_val` and 406 `test` rows (2,030 rows, 1,975 distinct SMILES, matching TDC’s count of drugs); 76.4% of labels are positive.
17+
18+The split is a scaffold split: TDC holds out a fixed 20% test set (here 406 of 2,030 rows in
19+the group’s files), and the remaining `train_val` part is split again per seed by
20+`group.get_train_valid_split(benchmark=name, split_type='default', seed=seed)` into 87.5% training
21+and 12.5% validation. The leaderboard asks for five independent runs with seeds 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5;
22+`group.evaluate_many` then reports the mean and the standard deviation of the per-seed test scores,
23+rounded to three decimals. The test set never changes, so only the training split moves with the seed.
24+
25+The metric is AUROC, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, computed by TDC’s `Evaluator(name='roc-auc')`; it equals the probability that a positive compound is scored above a negative one, and higher is better. Submissions pass continuous scores, not hard labels.
26+
27+Official evaluation code: [`tdc/benchmark_group/base_group.py`](https://github.com/mims-harvard/TDC/blob/main/tdc/benchmark_group/base_group.py)
28+in the TDC repository (MIT licence), whose `evaluate` and `evaluate_many` methods are what the
29+leaderboard numbers come from. The dataset page gives the licence as "Not Specified. CC BY 4.0".
30+
31+## What is known
32+
33+- Best on the leaderboard: MiniMol, AUROC $0.924 \pm 0.003$ (Kläser, Banaszewski et al., 2024).
34+- Next: CFA, $0.920 \pm 0.006$ (submitted by Nan Jiang), then MapLight, $0.916 \pm 0.001$ (Notwell and Wood, 2023).
35+- Twenty-six entries are listed, the most of any endpoint in the group, and the top ten are inside $0.02$ AUROC of each other — so progress here is now measured in thousandths.
36+
37+## What would count as progress
38+
39+- A mean AUROC on TDC’s fixed test set that beats MiniMol (AUROC 0.924), averaged over the official
40+ seeds 1-5 and produced by `group.evaluate_many`, with the five per-seed numbers reported as well.
41+- The training and inference code, the environment and the fitted model, so that the five runs can be
42+ repeated end to end from the `train_val` part alone.
43+- Evidence that the gain is larger than run-to-run noise: the gap between the top two entries here is
44+ 0.004 AUROC, so a difference smaller than the reported standard deviation is not a result.
