Combination of a naive Bayes classifier with consensus scoring improves enrichment of high-throughput docking results.

We have previously shown that a machine learning technique can improve the enrichment of high-throughput docking (HTD) results. In the previous cases studied, however, the application of a naive Bayes classifier failed to improve enrichment for instances where HTD alone was unable to generate an acceptable enrichment. We present here a protocol to rescue poor docking results a priori using a combination of rank-by-median consensus scoring and naive Bayesian categorization.
