Additional experiments were conducted to investigate the benefit of using Y˜ (weighted) in place of Y (unweighted). Y˜ differentially weights the labels, and puts more emphasis on the labels that have fewer member proteins. In contrast, Y equally weights all the labels. The definition of Y and Y˜ are provided in the section of Method. We report the results of MNet using Y˜ (weighted) and Y (unweighted) in Table 2 of the Additional File 1.\nTable 2 Runtime (in seconds).\nDataset GO MNet SW ProMK MSkNN LIG OMG\nYeast BP 2256.26 151.88 72.61 16.60 938.10 65.51\nCC 282.10 36.39 31.84 12.47 272.89 15.76\nMF 390.10 46.07 36.83 12.42 322.11 18.97\nHuman BP 19923.15 120.09 628.30 42.15 10309.56 447.01\nCC 1003.46 17.57 350.92 31.69 1496.33 96.61\nMF 1633.55 25.42 369.92 32.62 2195.25 116.59 MNet based on Y˜ performs better than MNet based on Y , especially for the BP labels, which are more unbalanced than the CC and the MF labels. MacroF1 is more affected by the labels that contains fewer proteins, and the performance difference between MNet based on Y˜ and MNet based on Y is more obvious for MacroF1 than for the other metrics. This fact shows that MNet based on Y˜ can more accurately predict the labels with few member proteins than MNet based on Y , and explicitly considering the unbalanced problem in data integration based protein function prediction can boost the prediction accuracy. These results support our motivation to use Y˜ instead of Y. However, we point out that there is still room to handle the unbalanced label problem for protein function prediction more efficiently, and how to achieve a more efficient weighting scheme for the labels is an important future direction to pursue.","divisions":[{"label":"title","span":{"begin":0,"end":42}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":43,"end":618}},{"label":"table-wrap","span":{"begin":619,"end":1007}},{"label":"label","span":{"begin":619,"end":626}},{"label":"caption","span":{"begin":628,"end":649}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":628,"end":649}},{"label":"table","span":{"begin":650,"end":1007}},{"label":"tr","span":{"begin":650,"end":695}},{"label":"th","span":{"begin":650,"end":657}},{"label":"th","span":{"begin":659,"end":661}},{"label":"th","span":{"begin":663,"end":667}},{"label":"th","span":{"begin":669,"end":671}},{"label":"th","span":{"begin":673,"end":678}},{"label":"th","span":{"begin":680,"end":685}},{"label":"th","span":{"begin":687,"end":690}},{"label":"th","span":{"begin":692,"end":695}},{"label":"tr","span":{"begin":696,"end":751}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":696,"end":701}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":703,"end":705}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":707,"end":714}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":716,"end":722}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":724,"end":729}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":731,"end":736}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":738,"end":744}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":746,"end":751}},{"label":"tr","span":{"begin":752,"end":798}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":752,"end":754}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":756,"end":762}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":764,"end":769}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":771,"end":776}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":778,"end":783}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":785,"end":791}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":793,"end":798}},{"label":"tr","span":{"begin":799,"end":845}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":799,"end":801}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":803,"end":809}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":811,"end":816}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":818,"end":823}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":825,"end":830}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":832,"end":838}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":840,"end":845}},{"label":"tr","span":{"begin":846,"end":906}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":846,"end":851}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":853,"end":855}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":857,"end":865}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":867,"end":873}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":875,"end":881}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":883,"end":888}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":890,"end":898}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":900,"end":906}},{"label":"tr","span":{"begin":907,"end":956}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":907,"end":909}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":911,"end":918}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":920,"end":925}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":927,"end":933}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":935,"end":940}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":942,"end":949}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":951,"end":956}},{"label":"tr","span":{"begin":957,"end":1007}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":957,"end":959}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":961,"end":968}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":970,"end":975}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":977,"end":983}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":985,"end":990}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":992,"end":999}},{"label":"td","span":{"begin":1001,"end":1007}}],"tracks":[]}
