MP-PIPE
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Interactions among proteins are essential to many biological functions in living cells but experimentally detected interactions represent only a small fraction of the real interaction network. Computational protein interaction prediction methods have become important to augment the experimental methods; in particular sequence based prediction methods that do not require additional data such as homologous sequences or 3D structure information which are often not available. Our Protein Interaction Prediction Engine (PIPE) method falls into this category. Park has recently compared PIPE with the other competing methods and concluded that our method "significantly outperforms the others in terms of recall-precision across both the yeast and human data". Here, we present MP-PIPE, a new massively parallel PIPE implementation for large scale, high throughput protein interaction prediction. MP-PIPE enabled us to perform the first ever complete scan of the entire human protein interaction network; a massively parallel computational experiment which took three months of full time 24/7 computation on a dedicated SUN UltraSparc T2+ based cluster with 50 nodes, 800 processor cores and 6,400 hardware supported threads. The implications for the understanding of human cell function will be significant as biologists are starting to analyze the 130,470 new protein interactions and possible new pathways in Human cells predicted by MP-PIPE.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
