| contents | Understanding the structural and functional characteristics of proteins are crucial for developing preventative and curative strategies that impact fields from drug discovery to policy development. An important and popular technique for examining how amino acids make up these characteristics of the protein sequences with position-specific scoring (PSS). While the string kernel is crucial in natural language processing (NLP), it is unclear if string kernels can extract biologically meaningful information from protein sequences, despite the fact that they have been shown to be effective in the general sequence analysis tasks. In this work, we propose a weighted PSS kernel matrix (or W-PSSKM), that combines a PSS representation of protein sequences, which encodes the frequency information of each amino acid in a sequence, with the notion of the string kernel. This results in a novel kernel function that outperforms many other approaches for protein sequence classification. We perform extensive experimentation to evaluate the proposed method. Our findings demonstrate that the W-PSSKM significantly outperforms existing baselines and state-of-the-art methods and achieves up to 45.1\% improvement in classification accuracy. |
