# MoleculeNet MUV

Load and return the MUV (Maximum Unbiased Validation) dataset [[1]](#1), part of MoleculeNet [[2]](#2) benchmark. It is intended to be used through 
[scikit-fingerprints](https://github.com/scikit-fingerprints/scikit-fingerprints) library.

The task is to predict 17 targets designed for validation of virtual screening techniques, based on PubChem BioAssays. All tasks are binary.

Note that targets have missing values. Algorithms should be evaluated only on present labels. For training data, you may want to impute them, e.g. with zeros.
