An expanded evaluation of protein function prediction methods shows an improvement in accuracy

Yuxiang Jiang, +156 more
- 07 Sep 2016 - 
TL;DR: The second critical assessment of functional annotation (CAFA), a timed challenge to assess computational methods that automatically assign protein function, was conducted by as mentioned in this paper. But the results of the CAFA2 assessment are limited.

TL;DR: The second Critical Assessment of Functional Annotation (CAFA) challenge as mentioned in this paper was the first attempt to assess computational methods that automatically assign protein function. And the results of CAFA2 showed that computational function prediction is improving.
Journal ArticleDOI

The language of proteins: NLP, machine learning & protein sequences.

TL;DR: The success, promise and pitfalls of applying NLP algorithms to the study of proteins, and methods for encoding the information of proteins as text and analyzing it with NLP methods, reviewing classic concepts such as bag-of-words, k-mers/n-grams and text search.

ProFET: Feature engineering captures high-level protein functions

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that a universal feature engineering approach can yield classification of high-level functions and unified properties when combined with machine learning approaches, without requiring external databases or alignment.
Journal ArticleDOI

NeuroPID: a predictor for identifying neuropeptide precursors from metazoan proteomes

TL;DR: It is proposed that NPPs are attractive targets for investigating and modulating behavior, metabolism and homeostasis and that a rich repertoire of NPs remains to be identified.
