Approaches that use supervised machine learning techniques for protein-protein interaction (PPI) prediction typically use features obtained by integrating several sources of data. Often certain attributes of the data are not available, resulting in missing values. In particular, our host-pathogen PPI datasets have a large fraction, in the range of 58-85% of missing values, which makes it challenging to apply machine learning algorithms.
