Onto2Vec: joint vector-based representation of biological entities and their ontology-based annotations (1802.00864v1)

Abstract: We propose the Onto2Vec method, an approach to learn feature vectors for biological entities based on their annotations to biomedical ontologies. Our method can be applied to a wide range of bioinformatics research problems such as similarity-based prediction of interactions between proteins, classification of interaction types using supervised learning, or clustering.
