References #575 and includes MHC-peptide papers

Added a section on Protein-Protein Interactions (PPI) with a subsection on MHC-peptide binding prediction.

@agitter mentioned PPI networks as a possible area of interest in #575, but this has been neglected here for the sake of not adding too much to an already long section. If a PPI network subsection is still desired, I would be more than happy to add one, but I understand the necessity to minimize additional length being added to this paper.

Looks good - only minor suggestions. My one fear is that this is fairly technically detailed, perhaps moreso than a lot of the rest of the ms.

However, because many PPIs are transient or dependent on biological context, high-throughput methods can fail to capture a number of interactions.
Additionally, common types of high-throughput screens for PPIs, such as the yeast two-hybrid, can have issues with high rates of false positive results [@doi:10.1186/s12964-015-0116-8 @doi:10.1002/pmic.200800150].

This section will focus on advances in *de novo* PPI prediction.

Might benefit from a more explicit linking statement of the need for PPI prediction and thus DL.

Beyond predicting whether or not two proteins interact, Du et al. [@doi:10.1016/j.ymeth.2016.06.001] showed that a tandem stacked-autoencoder/deep-neural-network method could be used to predict residue contacts for the interfacial regions of interacting proteins.
A combination of a hidden Markov model with Fisher scores yielded uniform-length features for each residue. Their method significantly exceeded classical machine learning accuracy.

Because many studies used predefined higher-level features, one of the benefits of deep learning— automatic feature extraction— is not fully leveraged.

space before emdash

Because MHCnuggets had to be trained for every MHC allele, performance was far better for alleles with abundant, balanced training data.

In a comparison of several current methods, Bhattacharya et al. found that the top methods— NetMHC, NetMHCpan, MHCflurry, and MHCnuggets— showed comparable performance, but large differences in speed.
In the authors analysis, convolutional neural networks (in this case, HLA-CNN) showed comparatively poor performance, while shallow and recurrent neural networks performed the best.

@zietzm were you planning to make modifications as discussed in #689? Wondering if we should wait for that before reviewing this PR.

Thanks for the great contributions. I have several suggestions, and my main comment is to think about how to summarize the many MHC methods. In some places I tried trimming text that isn't critical.

@cgreene do you think we need to further shorten this section? I think that if we can condense some of the MHC paragraphs we'll be okay.

PPIs are involved in almost all cellular processes. Perhaps we could cut this line? I'm looking for places to shorten the text.

This sentence alone might be enough to motivate the need for PPI prediction. Then you could cut the line about false positive rates, because a reader might wonder whether computational predictions really have lower false positive rates than Y2H.

A way of working with different network types was shown by Gligorijevic et al., [@doi:10.1101/223339] who developed a multimodal deep autoencoder, deepNF, to find a feature representation common among several different PPI networks.
This common lower-level representation allows for the combination of various PPI data sources towards a single predictive task.
An SVM classifier trained on the compressed features from the middle layer of the autoencoder outperformed previous methods in predicting protein function.
The key advancement of this method is the use of deep learning to incorporate higher-order network information for protein function prediction.

This might already be clear enough from the rest of the paragraph. You could cut it.

Hamilton et al. addressed the issue of large, heterogeneous, and changing networks with an inductive approach called GraphSAGE [@arxiv:1706.02216v2].
By finding node embeddings through learned aggregator functions which describe the node and its neighbors in the network, the GraphSAGE approach allows for the generalization of the model to unknown nodes.

I don't think I'm following this. Isn't an unseen node a new protein in a PPI network? Do we encounter new proteins? Or is the idea that a trained model generalizes to new graphs?

What is the preprocessing step?

They found that MHCnuggets — the recurrent neural network — was by far the fastest training among the top performing methods.
In predicting interactions between proteins, deep learning has achieved state-of-the-art results and shows promise to overcome previous challenges in the field.

We also discuss graph convolutions in the drug discovery section and could link those topics. We have a sentence Modern neural networks can operate directly on the molecular graph as input. that could be changed to Modern neural networks, such as those discussed previously for PPI networks, can operate directly on the molecular graph as input.

Thanks, these are excellent revisions and address all of my initial comments. The only remaining items to resolve before merging are:

  • two minor commas noted here
  • decide what you'd like to do with the #### header
  • resolve conflicts with master


Shallow, feed-forward neural networks are competitive methods and have made progress toward pan-allele and pan-length peptide representations.
Sequence alignment techniques are useful for representing variable-length peptides as uniform-length features [@doi:10.1110/ps.0239403; @doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btv639].
For pan-allelic prediction, NetMHCpan [@doi:10.1007/s00251-008-0341-z; @doi:10.1186/s13073-016-0288-x] used a pseudo-sequence representation of the MHC class I molecule which included only polymorphic peptide contact residues.

MHCflurry's imputation method increases its performance on poorly characterized alleles, making it competitive with NetMHCpan for this task.

Nice improvement, the HONN makes sense now.
