An adversarial scheme for integrating multi-modal data on protein function

Open access

Preprint — published as 10.1016/j.cels.2025.101444

Abstract

In order to begin to decipher the structure of the cell, we need to integrate multiple types of data of different scales on subcellular organization. Such integration requires dealing with multiple data modalities and with missing data. To this end, we developed MIRAGE, a multi-modal generative model for integrating protein sequence, protein-protein interaction and protein localization data. Our approach successfully learns a joint embedding space that captures the complex relationships between these diverse modalities. We evaluate our model’s performance against existing methods, obtaining superior performance in several key tasks, including protein function prediction and module detection. MIRAGE source code is available at https://github.com/raminass/MIRAGE .

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.
