  1. Each method was tested using the same dataset comprising 414 experimentally known PPI-hot spots (TP + FN) and 504 PPI-nonhot spots (TN + FP).

  2. TP = true positive; FP = false positive; TN = true negative; FN = false negative.

  1. Each method was tested using the same dataset comprising 90 experimentally known PPI-hot spots (TP+FN) and 45 PPI-nonhot spots (TN+FP) in 48 protein complexes with no known structures.

  2. TP = true positive; FP = false positive; TN = true negative; FN = false negative.

  3. *

    No validation F1 score is provided since AutoGluon was used to train an ensemble of machine-learning models on a dataset that excludes the 48 ‘unsolved’ complex structures (see text).
