Current pharmaceutical formulation development still strongly relies on the traditional trialand-error methods of pharmaceutical scientists.This approach is laborious,time-consuming and costly.Recently,deep leaing has been widely applied in many challenging domains because of its important capability of automatic feature extraction.The aim of the present research is to apply deep leaing methods to predict pharmaceutical formulations.In this paper,two types of dosage forms were chosen as model systems.Evaluation criteria suitable for pharmaceutics were applied to assess the performance of the models.Moreover,an automatic dataset selection algorithm was developed for selecting the representative data as validation and test datasets.Six machine leaing methods were compared with deep leaing.Results showed that the accuracies of both two deep neural networks were above 80％ and higher than other machine leaing models;the latter showed good prediction of pharmaceutical formulations.In summary,deep leaing employing an automatic data splitting algorithm and the evaluation criteria suitable for pharmaceutical formulation data was developed for the prediction of pharmaceutical formulations for the first time.The cross-disciplinary integration of pharmaceutics and artificial intelligence may shift the paradigm of pharmaceutical research from experience-dependent studies to data-driven methodologies.
