Dynamic Positive-Unlabeled graph learning separates biology from sampling bias in virus-host prediction

bravo_abad · x · 2026-09-22

Missing links in scientific datasets are often silently treated as negatives. For mammal-virus associations, sampling effort is highly uneven across species, viral families and regions. Pignalberi et al. propose a Dynamic Positive-Unlabeled framework that jointly trains a graph neural network estimating biological plausibility of associations and a separate propensity model estimating observation likelihood, disentangling true non-interactions from sampling gaps in virus-host prediction.
