Protein-protein interaction detection using deep learning: A survey, comparative analysis, and experimental...

This survey paper provides a comprehensive analysis of various Deep Learning (DL) techniques and algorithms for detecting protein-protein interactions (PPIs). It examines the scalability, interpretability, accuracy, and efficiency of each technique, offering a detailed empirical and experimental evaluation. Empirically, the techniques are assessed based on four key criteria, while experimentally, they are ranked by specific algorithms and broader methodological categories. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) demonstrated high accuracy but faced limitations such as overfitting and low interpretability. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) were highly efficient at extracting hierarchical features from biological sequences, while Generative Stochastic Networks (GSNs) excelled in handling uncertainty. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks effectively captured temporal dependencies within PPI sequences, though they presented scalability challenges. This paper concludes with insights into potential improvements and future directions for advancing DL techniques in PPI identification, highlighting areas where further optimization can enhance performance and applicability.
