Description

This PR introduces the HIGH-PPI SHS27k + CORUM dataset to TopoBench - a natively higher-order simplicial complex dataset combining protein-protein interaction networks with experimentally validated protein complexes.

Note: This PR focuses on dataset integration and infrastructure. The training pipeline for higher-order prediction tasks will be added in my B.2 submission.

Dataset Structure:

• 0-cells: 1,553 human proteins
• 1-cells: 6,660 protein-protein interactions with typed edges (7 interaction types: reaction, binding, ptmod, activation, inhibition, catalysis, expression) plus confidence scores
• 2+ cells: ~470 experimentally validated protein complexes from CORUM

Simplicial Complex Construction:

1. Add proteins as 0-cells
2. Add HIGH-PPI edges as 1-cells with 8-dim feature vectors (7 interaction types + 1 confidence score)
3. Process CORUM complexes (top-down, largest first):
   • Add each complex to the simplicial complex (automatically creates all sub-faces via TopoNetX)
   • Mark the complex as positive (+1)
   • Mark all proper sub-faces as negative (-1) unless already labeled by a smaller CORUM complex
   • Boost confidence to 1.0 for edges within CORUM complexes (both HIGH-PPI and CORUM-only edges)
4. Generate random negative samples proportionally for higher-order cells (rank ≥2) to balance the dataset

Supported Prediction Tasks (configured, training pipeline in B.2):

1. Edge score regression: Predict confidence of protein-protein interactions (0-1 continuous)
2. Edge interaction type classification: Multi-label prediction of 7 interaction types per edge
3. Higher-order complex prediction: Binary classification of whether a protein set forms a real complex (2+ order cells)

Additional context

Data Sources:

• HIGH-PPI SHS27k: Human protein interaction network with typed edges (Paper)
• CORUM: Comprehensive Resource of Mammalian protein complexes database (experimentally validated)

Configuration Options:

• min_complex_size / max_complex_size: Control which CORUM complexes to include (default: 2-6)
• target_ranks: List of ranks to predict on (supports single or multi-rank prediction)
• neg_ratio: Negative sample ratio for complex classification
• edge_task: Choose between "score" (regression) or "interaction_type" (classification)
