MotivationAntibiotic resistance is a growing public health problem, which affects millions of people worldwide, and if left unchecked is expected to upend many aspects of healthcare as it is practiced today. Identifying the type of antibiotic resistant genes in genome and metagenomic sample is of utmost importance in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infections. Today there are multiple tools available that predict antibiotic resistance class from DNA and protein sequences, yet there is a lack of benchmarks on the performances of these tools. ResultsWe have developed a dataset that is curated from 15 available databases, and annotated with their antibiotic class labels. We also developed a transfer learning approach with neural networks, TRAC, that outperforms existing antiobiotic resistance prediction tools. While TRAC provides the current state-of-the-art performance, we hope our newly developed dataset will also provide the community with a much needed standardized dataset to develop novel methods that can predict antibiotic resistance class with superior prediction performance. AvailabilityTRAC is available at github (https://github.com/nafizh/TRAC) and the datasets are available at figshare (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.11413302).

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
