The extreme lack of balance in positive and negative samples (native and non-native decoys) in a decoy set makes the problem even more complicated. Consensus methods show varied success in handling the challenge of decoy selection despite some issues associated with clustering large decoy sets and decoy sets that do not show much structural similarity. Recent investigations into energy landscape-based decoy selection approaches show promises. However, lack of generalization over varied test cases remains a bottleneck for these methods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We propose a novel decoy selection method, ML-Select, a machine learning framework that exploits the energy landscape associated with the structure space probed through a template-free decoy generation. The proposed method outperforms both clustering and energy ranking-based methods, all the while consistently offering better performance on varied test-cases. Moreover, ML-Select shows promising results even for the decoy sets consisting of mostly low-quality decoys.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>ML-Select is a useful method for decoy selection. This work suggests further research in finding more effective ways to adopt machine learning frameworks in achieving robust performance for decoy selection in template-free protein structure prediction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12859-020-3523-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,9]],"date-time":"2020-12-09T09:34:03Z","timestamp":1607506443000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Decoy selection for protein structure prediction via extreme gradient boosting and ranking"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Nasrin","family":"Akhter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6223-8570","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gopinath","family":"Chennupati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hristo","family":"Djidjev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amarda","family":"Shehu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"3523_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1004619","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pcbi.1004619","volume":"12","author":"T Maximova","year":"2016","unstructured":"Maximova T, Moffatt R, Ma B, Nussinov R, Shehu A.
