Association rules have the form R: X → Y [c, s], where X and Y are the body and the head of the rule respectively. X and Y are disjoint predicates (X ∩ Y = ϕ). Each X and Y consists of a conjunction of distinct predicates which describe properties related to interaction sites. Note that we can consider a conjunction as a set for our purposes. In our approach, the heads of all rules Y are restricted to be one of the PPI types considered which are the target classes defined in this task. The strength of the association rules can be measured in terms of their support (s) and confidence (c). The support of a rule (X → Y) is the probability that the cases in a database contain both X and Y. The confidence of the rule is the probability that a case contains Y given that it contains X.","tracks":[]}
