However, guidelines for using IML in computational biology are generally underdeveloped. We provide an overview of IML methods and evaluation techniques and discuss common pitfalls encountered when applying IML methods to computational biology problems. We also highlight open questions, especially in the era of large language models, and call for collaboration between IML and computational biology researchers.
