Reviews: Attend and Predict: Understanding Gene Regulation by Selective Attention on Chromatin

The paper presents a novel method for predicting gene regulation by LSTM with an attention mechanism. The model consists of two levels, where the first level is applied on bins for each histone modifications (HM) and the second level is applied to multiple HMs. Attention mechanism is used in each level to focus on the important parts of the bins and HMs. In the experiments, the proposed method improves AUC scores over baseline models including CNN, LSTM, and CNN with an attention mechanism. This is an interesting paper which shows that LSTM with an attention mechanism can predict gene regulation.
