Abstract Today more and more data are freely available. Based on these big datasets deep neural networks (DNNs) rapidly gain relevance in computational chemistry. Here, we explore the potential of DNNs to predict chemical properties from chemical structures. We have selected the octanol-water partition coefficient (log P) as an example, which plays an essential role in environmental chemistry and toxicology but also in chemical analysis. The predictive performance of the developed DNN is good with an rmse of 0.47 log units in the test dataset and an rmse of 0.33 for an external dataset from the SAMPL6 challenge. To this end, we trained the DNN using data augmentation considering all potential tautomeric forms of the chemicals. We further demonstrate how DNN models can help in the curation of the log P dataset by identifying potential errors, and address limitations of the dataset itself.
