Graph-based protein function analysis is powerful, but protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks exist for only a small fraction of animal and plant genomes. We present LoGoPPI, which infers PPIs from sequence by combining bi-encoder global protein representation with local residue-level late interaction. LoGoPPI matches or exceeds state-of-the-art PLM-based cross-encoders while achieving orders-of-magnitude faster inference, up to ~1,500-fold, and its local branch provides residue-level signals associated with interaction interfaces and structurally flexible regions. This efficiency enables practical proteome-wide PPI reconstruction at scales prohibitive for cross-encoder models, potentially extending interactome mapping to tens of thousands of animal and plant species. LoGoPPI thus provides a scalable framework for comparative and functional analysis of protein networks across diverse taxa.

"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.
