QSAR_biodegradation

Part of TabBioMed (TabBioMed: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Biomedical Tabular Learning), a benchmark of 94 curated biomedical tabular datasets. Code, preprocessing and documentation: https://github.com/AI-sandbox/TabBioMed.

Environmental ready-biodegradability classification from 41 molecular descriptors. The TALENT release contains 1,054 rows (UCI lists 1,055); collapsing three redundant descriptor rows with agreeing labels leaves 1,051 rows. Retained values are unchanged. A stratified 70/15/15 split is generated after deduplication. Molecular structures/SMILES are absent from this release, so this is a random-split descriptor benchmark, not a scaffold-generalization test. Grouped with molecular-property tasks under the benchmark drug-discovery domain.

Domain	Task	Samples	Features	Classes
Drug Discovery	binary	1,051	41	2

Splits. Fixed train/val/test split (735/158/158 rows).

Files

data/**.parquet: one row per sample. row_idx is the row index in the original TabBioMed array; f_<i>[_<name>] are the features (in order); target (or target_<j> for multi-target tasks) is the label. Categorical feature indices (0-based, among the features): []. Missing values are stored as nulls.
metadata.json: TabBioMed task metadata (task type, categorical indices, source, description).
