Multi-task learning for cross-platform siRNA efficacy prediction: an in-silico study

BMC Bioinformatics

Table 8 Comparison between multi-task learning and single task learning in a "mRNA" task level.

"T" denotes "Task". Test 6: Selected 50% of the data from each experiment to train a regression model, and tested the model on the remain 50% of the data of each experiment, respectively. Test 7: Scaled all the experimental labels into [0,1] and pooling together 50% of the data from each experiment to train a general model, and tested the model on the remain 50% of the data of each experiment, respectively. Test 8: Multi-task learning for siRNA efficacy prediction, trained with 50% of the data from each experiment, respectively. p-value calculated by pair t-test on Test 6 and Test 7 is 0.5900. p-value calculated by pair t-test on Test 6 and Test 8 is 0.0033.
