To develop improved computational tools for HIV-1 subtype identification.

Main Methods:

Employed alignment-free approaches for HIV-1 genetic sequence representation.
Utilized k-mer based XGBoost models for classification.
Applied Word2Vec embedding with support vector machines.

Main Results:

Achieved a balanced accuracy of 0.84 with a k-mer based XGBoost model, demonstrating robust performance across common and uncommon HIV-1 subtypes.
Word2Vec-based support vector machine models showed promising precision and balanced accuracy.
Demonstrated the efficacy of natural language-inspired sequence vectorization for HIV-1 classification.

Conclusions:

Sequence vectorization significantly impacts HIV-1 subtype classification performance.
Natural language-inspired encoding methods offer a promising avenue for enhancing HIV-1 subtype classification.
Improved classification can lead to better patient outcomes and targeted therapies for HIV-1.
