Technical supplement to “ Consistent probabilistic outputs for protein function prediction ”
Protein function prediction, in the context of the Gene Ontology, is a task that consists of answering, for a fixed protein X, a large number of binary questions of the form: " Does protein X belong to GO term Y ? " Those binary classification problems are strongly related because the ontology consists of nested classes. Two natural requirements for this prediction problem are • that the set of...
متن کاملA Structured-Outputs Method for Prediction of Protein Function
We apply the structured-output methodology to the problem of predicting the molecular function of proteins. Our results demonstrate that learning the structure of the output space yields better performance when compared to the traditional “transfer of annotation” method.
متن کاملProbabilistic Protein Function Prediction from Heterogeneous Genome-Wide Data
Dramatic improvements in high throughput sequencing technologies have led to a staggering growth in the number of predicted genes. However, a large fraction of these newly discovered genes do not have a functional assignment. Fortunately, a variety of novel high-throughput genome-wide functional screening technologies provide important clues that shed light on gene function. The integration of ...
متن کاملFeature Selection via Probabilistic Outputs
This paper investigates two feature-scoring criteria that make use of estimated class probabilities: one method proposed by Shen et al. (2008) and a complementary approach proposed below. We develop a theoretical framework to analyze each criterion and show that both estimate the spread (across all values of a given feature) of the probability that an example belongs to the positive class. Base...
متن کاملConsistent Probabilistic Social Choice
Two fundamental axioms in social choice theory are consistency with respect to a variable electorate and consistency with respect to components of similar alternatives. In the context of traditional non-probabilistic social choice, these axioms are incompatible with each other. We show that in the context of probabilistic social choice, these axioms uniquely characterize a function proposed by ...
