Artificial intelligence approaches to human-microbiome protein–protein interactions
Open accessAbstract
Host-microbiome interactions play significant roles in human health and disease. Artificial intelligence approaches have been developed to better understand and predict the molecular interplay between the host and its microbiome. Here, we review recent advancements in computational methods to predict microbial effects on human cells with a special focus on protein-protein interactions. We categorize recent methods from traditional ones to more recent deep learning methods, followed by several challenges and potential solutions in structure-based approaches. This review serves as a brief guide to the current status and future directions in the field.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
