| abstract |
A computer system that predicts synergistic interactions between pesticidal and synergistic compounds of a pesticidal composition is described. The system provides a trained classifier that provides probabilistic predictions of the synergy between two or more compounds on a pest. The system may select features for transformation, encode them, generate one or more predictions, and combine the predictions. The predictions may be evaluated by experimental testing, e.g. in vitro or in planta, and/or used to formulate and/or apply a pesticidal composition. |
