用多视图网络提升DNA结合蛋白预测准确率

The identification of DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) is essential due to their significant impact on various biological activities. Understanding the mechanisms underlying protein-DNA interactions is essential for elucidating various life activities. In recent years, machine learning-based models have been prominently utilized for DBP prediction. In this paper, to predict DBPs, we propose a novel framework termed a multiview random vector functional link (MvRVFL) network, which fuses neural network architecture with multiview learning. The MvRVFL model integrates both late and early fusion advantages, enabling separate regularization parameters for each view, while utilizing a closed-form solution for efficiently determining unknown parameters. The primal objective function incorporates a coupling term aimed at minimizing a composite of errors stemming from all views. From each of the three protein views of the DBP datasets, we extract five features. These features are then fused together by incorporating a hidden feature during the model training process. The performance of the proposed MvRVFL model on the DBP dataset surpasses that of baseline models, demonstrating its superior effectiveness. We further validate the practicality of the proposed model across diverse benchmark datasets, and both theoretical analysis and empirical results consistently demonstrate its superior generalization performance over baseline models.
