Abstract

In this chapter, we show how the predictive clustering tree framework can be used to predict the functions of genes. The gene function prediction task is an example of a hierarchical multi-label classification (HMC) task: genes may have multiple functions and these functions are organized in a hierarchy. The hierarchy of functions can be such that each function has at most one parent (tree structure) or such that functions may have multiple parents (DAG structure).
