Abstract
task:Protein-Protein Interaction task
introduced a novel framework that enables the model to learn multi-omnics
biological information about entities (proteins)
with the help of additional multi-modal cues
like molecular structure.
devise a generalized and optimized graph based multi-modal learning mechanism that
utilizes the GraphBERT model
The main contributions:
utilized protein
atomic structural information while identifying the protein interactions
developed a generalized modality-agnostic
approach
2 Proposed Method
four main components:
(1)
Multi-modal Graph Constructor
,
(2)
Multi
-modal Graph Fusion
(3)
Multi-modal Graph En
coder
(4)
PPI Predictor
.
Problem Statement:
a biomedical input text:
S
=
{
w
1
, w
2
, . . . , w
n
}
a pair of protein mentions:
p
1
, p
2
∈
S
predict:
‘interact’
or
‘non-interact’
2.1 Multi-modal Graph Constructor
Textual Graph Constructor:
constructs
the graph by considering the textual content that
aims to capture the lexical and contextual informa
tion present in the input
Protein Structure Graph Constructor:
exploits the atomic structure (3D PDB structure) of the protein
molecules to build the graph.
