Identifying human-virus protein-protein interactions (PPI) is an important task which is increasingly researched using computational methods. Previous research shows that using doc2vec encoding scheme for features combined with Random Forest classifier gives promising performance. However, human-virus PPI data are usually imbalanced, and additional preprocessing step has not been investigated in this task. In this work, we investigated various preprocessing methods and modifications to improve classification performance. The result shows that a modification in the feature formulation method, combined with random oversampling can improve the classification AUC result from 0.9414 to 0.9448.
