Biologically relevant transfer learning improves transcription factor binding prediction

Abstract Background Deep learning has proven to be a powerful technique for transcription factor (TF) binding prediction but requires large training datasets. Transfer learning can reduce the amount of data required for deep learning, while improving overall model performance, compared to training a...
