A Combination of Support Vector Machines and Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Networks for Protein Secondary Structure Prediction

چکیده
Predicting the secondary structure of a protein is a main topic in bioinformatics. A reliable predictor is needed by threading methods to improve the prediction of tertiary structure. Moreover, the predicted secondary structure content of a protein can be used to assign the protein to a specific folding class and thus estimate its function. We discuss here the use of support vector machines (SVMs) for the prediction of secondary structure. We show the results of a comparative experiment with a previously presented work. We measure the performances of SVMs on a significant non-redundant set of proteins. We present for the first time a direct comparison between SVMs and feed forward neural netwoks (NNs) for the task of secondary structure prediction. We exploit the use of bidirectional recurrent neural networks (BRNNs) as a filtering method to refine the predictions of the SVM classifier. Finally, we introduce a simple but effective idea to enforce constraints into secondary structure prediction based on finite-state automata (FSA) and Viterbi algorithm.

Protein Secondary Structure Prediction: a Literature Review with Focus on Machine Learning Approaches
DNA sequence, containing all genetic traits is not a functional entity. Instead, it transfers to protein sequences by transcription and translation processes. This protein sequence takes on a 3D structure later, which is a functional unit and can manage biological interactions using the information encoded in DNA. Every life process one can figure is undertaken by proteins with specific functio...

This paper proposes a method for the prediction of pore size values in hydrocarbon reservoirs using 3D seismic data. To this end, an actual carbonate oil field in the south-western part ofIranwas selected. Taking real geological conditions into account, different models of reservoir were constructed for a range of viable pore size values. Seismic surveying was performed next on these models. F...

Two main objectives have been considered in this paper: providing a good model to predict the critical temperature and pressure of binary hydrocarbon mixtures, and comparing the efficiency of the artificial neural network algorithms and the support vector regression as two commonly used soft computing methods. In order to have a fair comparison and to achieve the highest efficiency, a comprehen...
