Effective molecular features are crucial for accurate machine learning predictions, and advanced mathematics plays a key role in designing these features. Persistent homology theory, which equips topological invariants with persistence, provides valuable insights into molecular structures. The standard homology theory is based on a differential rule for the boundary operator that satisfies <math> <msup><mrow><mi>d</mi></mrow> <mrow><mn>2</mn></mrow> </msup> <mo>=</mo> <mn>0</mn></math> . Our recent work has extended this rule by employing Mayer homology with generalized differentials that satisfy <math> <msup><mrow><mi>d</mi></mrow> <mrow><mi>N</mi></mrow> </msup> <mo>=</mo> <mn>0</mn></math> for <math><mi>N</mi> <mo>≥</mo> <mn>2</mn></math> , leading to the development of persistent Mayer homology (PMH) theory and richer topological information across various scales. In this study, we utilize PMH to create a novel multiscale topological vectorization for molecular representation, offering valuable tools for descriptive and predictive analyses in molecular data and machine learning prediction. Specifically, benchmark tests on established protein-ligand datasets, including PDBbind-v2007, PDBbind-v2013, and PDBbind-v2016, demonstrate the superior performance of our Mayer homology models in predicting protein-ligand binding affinities.</p>","PeriodicalId":15603,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Biophysics and Chemistry","volume":"24 2","pages":"253-266"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12463301/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145185924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is extremely important to be able to identify data elements of classes of various sizes, as a failure to do so can result in heavy costs. Nonetheless, many data classification procedures do not perform well on imbalanced data sets as they often fail to detect elements belonging to underrepresented classes. In this work, we propose the BTDT-MBO algorithm, incorporating Merriman-Bence-Osher (MBO) approaches and a bidirectional transformer, as well as distance correlation and decision threshold adjustments, for data classification tasks on highly imbalanced molecular data sets, where the sizes of the classes vary greatly. The proposed technique not only integrates adjustments in the classification threshold for the MBO algorithm in order to help deal with the class imbalance, but also uses a bidirectional transformer procedure based on an attention mechanism for self-supervised learning. In addition, the model implements distance correlation as a weight function for the similarity graph-based framework on which the adjusted MBO algorithm operates. The proposed method is validated using six molecular data sets and compared to other related techniques. The computational experiments show that the proposed technique is superior to competing approaches even in the case of a high class imbalance ratio.</p>","PeriodicalId":15603,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Biophysics and Chemistry","volume":"23 10","pages":"1339-1358"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12467357/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145186004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
