jLSTM_protein

This is the recommended new JAVA-package of "Long Short-Term Memory" for Protein classification (jLSTM_protein). The implementation of the LSTM neural network is the same as in the C package and performs and behaves identically but faster. jLSTM_protein is multithreaded and therefore uses effectively multicore and -processor machines. Using more than one thread results in faster computation as in the C package. Each thread individually computes the gradients with a local weight matrix and updates a global weight matrix performing asynchronous stochastic gradient. jLSTM_protein uses Biojava 1.6 for reading FASTA sequences. The Biojava package is included and needs no separate installation.

(j)LSTM as Logistic Regression with the Spectrum Kernel (new)

LSTM logistic regression / spectrum kernel is a stripped down LSTM which can be interpreted as logistic regression with the spectrum kernel for sequence classification. For any step in the DNA sequence and a given k a k-mer string vector is build and fed into the network. The LSTM architecture is just two memory cells and no input- or output gates. The memory cells are not connected with each other. The squashing function h is the identity function. LSTM in this version weighs important k-mers for the classification and therefore can be used as an additional pattern recognizer based on k-mers.

LSTM_protein

We offer a first C-package of "Long Short-Term Memory" for Protein classification (LSTM_protein).
