RNA, whose functionality is largely determined by its structure, plays an important role in many biological activities. The prediction of pairwise structural proximity between each nucleotide of an RNA sequence can characterize the…

Unsupervised learning plays an important role in many fields, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and neuroscience. Compared to static data, methods for extracting low-dimensional structure for dynamic data are lagging. We…

Motivation: In the last few years a growing interest in biology has been shifting towards the problem of optimal information extraction from the huge amount of data generated via large scale and high-throughput techniques. One of the most…

Predicting the 3D structure of a macromolecule, such as a protein or an RNA molecule, is ranked top among the most difficult and attractive problems in bioinformatics and computational biology. Its importance comes from the relationship…

Machine Learning-guided solutions for protein learning tasks have made significant headway in recent years. However, success in scientific discovery tasks is limited by the accessibility of well-defined and labeled in-domain data. To tackle…

The conformational landscape of proteins is crucial to understanding their functionality in complex biological processes. Traditional physics-based computational methods, such as molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, suffer from rare event…

Bridging the exponentially growing gap between the numbers of unlabeled and labeled protein sequences, several studies adopted semi-supervised learning for protein sequence modeling. In these studies, models were pre-trained with a…

Systematic identification of protein function is a key problem in current biology. Most traditional methods fail to identify functionally equivalent proteins if they lack similar sequences, structural data or extensive manual annotations.…

Deep neural networks can model images with rich latent representations, but they cannot naturally conceptualize structures of object categories in a human-perceptible way. This paper addresses the problem of learning object structures in an…

Despite the remarkable success of large large-scale neural networks, we still lack unified notation for thinking about and describing their representational spaces. We lack methods to reliably describe how their representations are…

Amino acid sequence portrays most intrinsic form of a protein and expresses primary structure of protein. The order of amino acids in a sequence enables a protein to acquire a particular stable conformation that is responsible for the…

Proteins are essential biological macromolecules that execute life functions. Local structural motifs, such as active sites, are the most critical components for linking structure to function and are key to understanding protein evolution…

Motivation: Drug discovery demands rapid quantification of compound-protein interaction (CPI). However, there is a lack of methods that can predict compound-protein affinity from sequences alone with high applicability, accuracy, and…

Directed evolution plays an indispensable role in protein engineering that revises existing protein sequences to attain new or enhanced functions. Accurately predicting the effects of protein variants necessitates an in-depth understanding…

As the number of solved protein structures increases, the opportunities for meta-analysis of this dataset increase too. Protein structures are known to be formed of domains; structural and functional subunits that are often repeated across…

In this work, we study whether enforcing strict compositional structure in sequence embeddings yields meaningful geometric organization when applied to protein-protein interaction networks. Using Event2Vec, an additive sequence embedding…

Input space reconstruction is an attractive representation learning paradigm. Despite interpretability of the reconstruction and generation, we identify a misalignment between learning by reconstruction, and learning for perception. We show…
