A key contribution of ICoN is exploiting a mechanism called \"co-attention\" that enables cross-network communication during training. The model also incorporates a denoising training technique, introducing perturbations to each input network and training the model to reconstruct the original network from its corrupted version. Our experimental results demonstrate that ICoN surpasses individual networks across three downstream tasks: gene module detection, gene coannotation prediction, and protein function prediction. Compared to existing unsupervised network integration models, ICoN exhibits superior performance across the majority of downstream tasks and shows enhanced robustness against noise.

We investigated five loss functions: cross-entropy, Focal loss, Dice loss, and two combined loss functions. Using a U-Net architecture in our DeepSSETracer method and a dataset composed of 1355 box-cropped atomic-structure/density-map pairs, we found that a newly designed loss function that combines Focal loss and Dice loss provides the best overall detection accuracy for secondary structures. For β-sheet voxels, which are generally much harder to detect than helix voxels, the combined loss function achieved a significant improvement (an 8.8% increase in the F<sub>1</sub> score) compared to the cross-entropy loss function and a noticeable improvement from the Dice loss function. This study demonstrates the potential for designing more effective loss functions for hard cases in the segmentation of secondary structures. The newly trained model was incorporated into DeepSSETracer 1.1 for the segmentation of protein secondary structures in medium-resolution cryo-EM map components.
