Predicting Influenza A Viral Host Using PSSM and Word Embeddings. (arXiv:2201.01140v1 [cs.CL])

The rapid mutation of the influenza virus threatens public health.
Reassortment among viruses with different hosts can lead to a fatal pandemic.
However, it is difficult to detect the original host of the virus during or
after an outbreak as influenza viruses can circulate between different species.
Therefore, early and rapid detection of the viral host would help reduce the
further spread of the virus. We use various machine learning models with
features derived from the position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) …
