Metagenomics is an emerging field in which the power of genome analysis is applied to entire communities of microbes. A large variety of classifiers has been developed for gene prediction though there is lack of an empirical evaluation regarding the core machine learning techniques implemented in these tools. In this work we present an empirical performance evaluation of classification strategies for metagenomic gene prediction. This comparison takes into account distinct supervised learning strategies: one lazy learner, two eager-learners and one ensemble learner. Though the performance of the four base classifiers was good, the ensemble-based strategy with
Random Forest
has achieved the overall best result.
