A list of abbreviated names for different multiple molecule queries. In the case of any methods with weight vectors, we use equally weighted convex combinations, in other words, wi = 1/|| where || is the number of query molecules. So, for example, the SUM-SIM becomes the average similarity. Methods introduced in this study for the first time are marked with a star (*). Methods using the compressed metrics are marked with a dagger (†); the rest use corrected metrics.
