ARK: Aggregation of Reads by K-Means for Estimation of Bacterial Community Composition. by David Koslicki, Saikat Chatterjee, Damon Shahrivar, Alan W Walker, Suzanna C Francis, Louise J Fraser, Mikko Vehkaperä, Yueheng Lan, Jukka Corander

“…These methods typically rely on summarizing the sequence data by frequencies of low-order k-mers and matching this information statistically with a taxonomically structured database. Here we show that the accuracy of the resulting community composition estimates can be substantially improved by aggregating the reads from a sample with an unsupervised machine learning approach prior to the estimation phase. …”
