The European Commission has funded COMET (Computerized Molecular Evaluation of Toxicity), a project to evaluate the possibility to predict a series of toxic and ecotoxic endpoints. This research will focus on the relationship between chemicals and their toxic and ecotoxic effects investigated through updated computerized approaches. The major objective of COMET is to extract as much as possible information from toxicity and ecotoxicity databases and suitable molecular descriptors, using advanced computer approaches such as fuzzy logic, ANN, EA, rule learning algorithms and AI.
