Project Description

The Ersilia Model Hub is a unified platform of pre-trained AI/ML models for infectious and neglected disease research. The end goal is to provide an open-source, no-code solution to access AI/ML models to accelerate drug discovery. The models embedded in the hub include both models published in the literature (with appropriate third party acknowledgement) and models developed by the Ersilia team or contributors.

Quick Start Guide

Please check the package requirements in the Installation Guide. The next steps are a quickstart guide to installing Ersilia.

1. Create a conda environment and activate it

   conda create -n ersilia python=3.7
   conda activate ersilia
   

2. Clone this repository and install with pip

   git clone https://github.com/ersilia-os/ersilia.git
   cd ersilia
   pip install -e .
   

3. Once the Ersilia Model Hub is installed, you can use the CLI to run predictions. First, select a model from the Ersilia Model Hub and fetch it:

   ersilia fetch retrosynthetic-accessibility
   

4. Generate a few (5) example molecules, to be used as input. The example command will generate the adequate input for the model in use

   ersilia example retrosynthetic-accessibility -n 5 -f my_molecules.csv
   

5. Then, serve your model:

   ersilia serve retrosynthetic-accessibility
   

6. And run the prediction API:

   ersilia api -i my_molecules.csv -o my_predictions.csv
   

7. Finally, close the service when you are done.

   ersilia close
   

Please see the Ersilia Book for more examples and detailed explanations.

Contribute

The Ersilia Model Hub is a Free, Open Source Software and we highly value new contributors. There are several ways in which you can contribute to the project:

• A good place to start is checking open issues.
• If you have identified a bug in the code, please open a new issue using the bug template.
• Share any feedback with the community using GitHub Discussions for the project
• Check our Contributing Guide for more details

The Ersilia Open Source Initiative adheres to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct.

Submit a New Model

If you want to incorporate a new model in the platform, open a new issue using the model request template or contact us using the following form.

After submitting your model request via an issue (suggested), a maintainer will review your request. If they /approve your request, a new model respository will be created for you to fork and use! There is a demo repository explaining the steps one-by-one.
