Therefore, the consensus chemical space is dependent on the approach to combining the descriptors of the molecules or making hybrid representations . In contrast, the chemical multiverse, as introduced in the previous section, does not require a fusion of a combination of descriptors for each molecule: the chemical multiverse is comprised of a group of alternative representations of the compounds (e.g., using different fingerprints, properties, or descriptors for a common dataset). Figure shows the difference and relationship between the chemical multiverse and consensus chemical space of a given set of n molecules.
