This repository contains all the code to reproduce the experiments in the paper:

The repository consists of four parts:
-
SqLoss: Basic algorithm for linear sequence regression with squared error loss.
-
Simulation: Generation of toy sequence regression datasets and evaluation of SqLoss on it.
-
Dream5 challenge: Code to run and evaluate SqLoss on the DREAM5 - Transcription Factor Binding Affinity Challenge.
-
MMC: Code to run and evaluate SqLoss on the Microsoft Malware Classification Challenge.
SqLoss has following dependencies:
- cmake (>=2.8)
- C++ compiler with C++11 support
-
Replace the path place holder in SqLoss/experiments/MMC.cpp.
-
To build the SqLoss run these commands in the source (SqLoss) directory:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
These commands compile all the files to reproduce the experiments. In particular sqloss_dream, sqloss_regression and sqloss_mmc executable are created.
Here we provide a short overview of the scripts in each folder.
- generatToySequenceReg.py: Generates sequence regression datasets.
- othermethods/SotA_methods.py: Runs state of the art methods (scikit learn) for comparison.
- eval.py: Extracts results and creates various plots.
- prepare_dream5_data.sh: Performs the log2 transformation and cuts sequences as described in the paper.
- run_all_dream.sh: Runs SqLoss for all 66 TFs (sqloss_dream must be in $PATH).
- createEvalFile.sh: Creates submission file as expected of DREAMtools.
- compareDreamtool.py: Evaluates results with the DREAMtools (external dependency)
Data is available http:https://dreamchallenges.org/project/dream-5-tf-dna-motif-recognition-challenge/.
- create_kfolds.py: Creates stratifies k-folds (depends on sklearn) based on label file provided by Kaggle.
- createTrainfile.py: Creates input file for SqLoss from individual malware files and k-fold label files.
- eval.py: Evaluates obtained results.
