| 1 | +# yeast-GEM localisation benchmark |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Real-data validation of [`localization.predict_localization`](../src/raven_python/localization/predict.py) |
| 4 | +on the curated yeast-GEM. The benchmark is end-to-end — model, scoring, MILP — and |
| 5 | +sweeps predictor noise so the failure modes are visible, not just the headline accuracy. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +* Driver: [`scripts/benchmark_localization_yeast.py`](../scripts/benchmark_localization_yeast.py) |
| 8 | +* Yeast-GEM source: `pcSecYeastSpecies/Model/yeastGEM.xml` (3991 reactions, 1147 genes, |
| 9 | + 14 compartments). |
| 10 | +* Run command: |
| 11 | + ```bash |
| 12 | + python scripts/benchmark_localization_yeast.py \ |
| 13 | + --yeast-gem ~/github/pcSecYeastSpecies/Model/yeastGEM.xml \ |
| 14 | + --noise 0,0.1,0.25,0.5 \ |
| 15 | + --max-reactions 300 \ |
| 16 | + --transport-cost 0.05 \ |
| 17 | + --time-limit 300 \ |
| 18 | + --doc docs/yeast_localization_benchmark.md |
| 19 | + ``` |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +## Setup |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +1. **Truth set**: every yeast-GEM reaction that (a) has a GPR, (b) is non-boundary, |
| 24 | + and (c) has all metabolites in the same compartment. 2 155 reactions qualify; |
| 25 | + stratified subsampling to 298 keeps the per-compartment distribution. The 14 |
| 26 | + compartments collapse to 12 placement targets in the truth set (extracellular and |
| 27 | + the lipid particle / vacuolar membrane variants stay distinct). |
| 28 | +2. **Flattening**: the model is squashed into one compartment with |
| 29 | + [`manipulation.merge_compartments`](../src/raven_python/manipulation/compartments.py) |
| 30 | + so the predictor cannot lean on metabolite-topology evidence. Without this step |
| 31 | + every GPR'd reaction's "predicted" compartment is just its current one — vacuous. |
| 32 | +3. **Reference scores**: each gene gets `1.0` in every compartment that hosts one of |
| 33 | + its reactions in the original (multi-compartment) model. This is the |
| 34 | + *perfect-predictor* upper bound; real WoLF PSORT / DeepLoc output will be noisier. |
| 35 | +4. **Noise injection**: at noise level `p` each gene independently has probability |
| 36 | + `p` of having a confidently *wrong* compartment grafted in as the new top score |
| 37 | + (the true compartment is demoted to half its score). This simulates a predictor |
| 38 | + that's right `1-p` of the time and confidently wrong otherwise — a more |
| 39 | + pessimistic stand-in than uniform Gaussian jitter. |
| 40 | +5. **MILP**: `transport_cost=0.05`, `multi_compartment_penalty=0.5`, `mip_gap=0.01`, |
| 41 | + `time_limit=300s`, Gurobi. The MILP has 7 982 binaries, 2 691 rows, 29 842 |
| 42 | + nonzeros at this scale — solves in 30–50 s. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +## Accuracy vs. predictor noise |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Accuracy = fraction of relocated reactions that the MILP places back in the truth |
| 47 | +compartment. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +| noise | seconds | n_total | n_correct | n_unplaced | accuracy | |
| 50 | +|------:|--------:|--------:|----------:|-----------:|---------:| |
| 51 | +| 0.00 | 46 | 298 | 213 | 0 | 0.715 | |
| 52 | +| 0.10 | 34 | 298 | 199 | 0 | 0.668 | |
| 53 | +| 0.25 | 41 | 298 | 175 | 0 | 0.587 | |
| 54 | +| 0.50 | 31 | 298 | 115 | 0 | 0.386 | |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +Monotone degradation, no MILP infeasibilities at any noise level. At 10 % confident |
| 57 | +mis-scoring the accuracy drops only ~4.7 pp — the algorithm largely shrugs off small |
| 58 | +predictor noise because each compartment's evidence is the sum of all its genes' |
| 59 | +scores, so a few wrong genes get out-voted by their neighbours. At 50 % the algorithm |
| 60 | +is still better than the 1/12 = 8.3 % uniform baseline, but the loss is steep. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +## Confusion matrix at noise=0.00 |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +Rows = curated (true) compartment; columns = predicted. The `c` column dominates |
| 65 | +because cytosolic genes are also active in many other compartments (so an mm-only |
| 66 | +reaction shares its genes with cytosolic reactions, and the algorithm picks `c`). |

| 102 | +| vm | 8 | 8 | 1.000 | |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +## What the failures mean |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +* **Compartments with self-contained gene sets are perfect.** `c`, `g`, `lp`, `p`, |
| 107 | + `v`, `vm` reach 100 %: their gene sets are largely disjoint from `c`'s, so the |
| 108 | + per-compartment evidence sum picks them cleanly. |
| 109 | +* **Inner-membrane vs. matrix collapses to cytosol.** The mitochondrial inner |
| 110 | + membrane (`mm`, 41 reactions, 7.3 % correct) and nucleus (`n`, 6 reactions, 0 % |
| 111 | + correct) lose to `c` because their genes are *also* annotated to cytosolic |
| 112 | + reactions. The algorithm sees gene `X` with score `1.0` in both `c` and `mm`, |
| 113 | + and `c` wins on the larger pool of co-localised reactions. This is faithful to |
| 114 | + the predictor evidence — a real WoLF PSORT / DeepLoc score table that distinguishes |
| 115 | + inner-membrane from matrix would do better here, but the |
| 116 | + derive-scores-from-the-model harness can't see that distinction. |
| 117 | +* **Membrane / non-membrane pairs split correctly.** `erm` vs `er`, `gm` vs `g` — |
| 118 | + the algorithm prefers the membrane sub-compartment when its genes are more |
| 119 | + membrane-typical, which the score harness reproduces. 60–75 % is honest signal. |
| 120 | +* **No MILP infeasibilities.** Even at 50 % confident mis-scoring every reaction |
| 121 | + gets placed (the unplaced column stays 0). |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +## Calibration insight: `transport_cost` matters |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +The first smoke run used `transport_cost=0.5` (the default) and dumped almost every |
| 126 | +reaction into `c`. With ~5 metabolites per reaction the per-reaction transport bill |
| 127 | +overwhelmed the unit-scale gene reward, so the optimiser's best move was always |
| 128 | +"keep it in the default compartment, pay no transports." Dropping to |
| 129 | +`transport_cost=0.05` restored the per-compartment signal. For a real predictor with |
| 130 | +typical score magnitudes ≪ 1, the user should expect to dial `transport_cost` *down* |
| 131 | +into the same per-metabolite-per-compartment range as the typical gene-score-delta — |
| 132 | +the doc-string default of 0.5 is sized for clean integer-style scores, not |
| 133 | +soft-probability output. |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +## Reproducing |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +Make the smoke fast (subsampled, small noise grid): |
| 138 | +```bash |
| 139 | +python scripts/benchmark_localization_yeast.py \ |
| 140 | + --noise 0,0.25 --max-reactions 100 --time-limit 60 |
| 141 | +``` |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +Plug in a real predictor (CSV of `gene_id` + one column per compartment): |
| 144 | +```bash |
| 145 | +python scripts/benchmark_localization_yeast.py \ |
| 146 | + --scores-csv my_deeploc_yeast.csv \ |
| 147 | + --noise 0 --max-reactions 300 |
| 148 | +``` |
