Abstract:

We propose an effcient multi-class classi cation algorithm
for remote homology detection (RHD). Unlike methods that treat RHD
as a set of binary classi cation tasks, our algorithm solves a single multiclass
classi cation problem by incorporating information about classwise
correlations among the proteins using joint kernel functions. Furthermore,
the proposed method leads to notable reduction in computational
time compared to binary classi cation algorithms. We evaluate
our method on the Structural Classi cation of Proteins database and
show that performance is better or comparable to several state-of-theart
algorithms for protein classi cation and remote homology detection.
