  • Title: Overlapping functional modules detection in PPI network with pair-wise constrained non-negative matrix tri-factorisation.
    Author: Liu G, Chai B, Yang K, Yu J, Zhou X.
    Journal: IET Syst Biol; 2018 Apr; 12(2):45-54. PubMed ID: 29533217.
    Abstract:
    A large amount of available protein-protein interaction (PPI) data has been generated by high-throughput experimental techniques. Uncovering functional modules from PPI networks will help us better understand the underlying mechanisms of cellular functions. Numerous computational algorithms have been designed to identify functional modules automatically in the past decades. However, most community detection methods (non-overlapping or overlapping types) are unsupervised models, which cannot incorporate the well-known protein complexes as a priori. The authors propose a novel semi-supervised model named pairwise constrains nonnegative matrix tri-factorisation (PCNMTF), which takes full advantage of the well-known protein complexes to find overlapping functional modules based on protein module indicator matrix and module correlation matrix simultaneously from PPI networks. PCNMTF determinately models and learns the mixed module memberships of each protein by considering the correlation among modules simultaneously based on the non-negative matrix tri-factorisation. The experiment results on both synthetic and real-world biological networks demonstrate that PCNMTF gains more precise functional modules than that of state-of-the-art methods.
