摘要

The paper describes a new approach to use Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to predict protein-protein interactions (PPIs). This method tries to improve the accuracy and speed of PPI predictions by using the expressivity of graphs and language models. In particular, the paper describes two graph-based methods, GCN-based and GAT-based. Pre-trained language models were leveraged for feature extraction, which yielded better results than standard encoding methods like one-hot encoding. The results show that the GATv2 model performed better than both GCN and GAT with an accuracy of 98.31%, an f-score of 98.85%, a sensitivity of 99.01%, and a precision of 98.68%. A comparison with other works based on similar PPI datasets showed that the GATv2 approach is better based on several metrics.
