Abstract

With the rapid decrease in sequencing costs there is an increased research interest in metagenomics, the study of the genomic content of microbial communities. Machine learning has also seen a revolution with regards to versatility and performance in the last decade using techniques like “Deep Learning”. Classical as well as modern machine learning (ML) techniques are already used in key areas within metagenomics. There are however several challenges that may impede broader use of ML and especially deep learning.

This paper provides an overview of machine learning in metagenomics, its challenges and its relationship to biomedical pipelines. Special focus is put on modern techniques such as deep learning. The results are then discussed again in the context of the AI2VIS4BigData reference model to validate its relevancy in this research area.
