Mlp4green: A Binary Classification Approach Specifically for Green Odor.

Fresh green leaves give off a smell known as "green odor." It has antibacterial qualities and can be used to attract or repel insects. However, a common method for evaluating green odor molecules has never existed. Machine learning techniques are widely used in research to forecast molecular attributes for binary classification. In this work, the green odor molecules were first trained and learned using machine learning methods, and then clustering analysis and molecular docking were performed to further explore their molecular characteristics and mechanisms of action. For comparison, four algorithmic models were employed, MLP performed the best in all metrics, including Accuracy, Precision, Average Precision, Matthews coefficient, and Area under curve. We determined by difference analysis that, in comparison to non-green odor molecules, green odor molecules have a lower molecular mass and fewer electrons. Based on the MLP algorithm, we constructed a binary classification prediction website for green odors. The first application of deep learning techniques to the study of green odor molecules can be seen as a signal of a new era in which green odor research has advanced into intelligence and standardization.
