Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-training the vector model on large datasets of RNA-protein interactions before using it to generate negative samples. This pre-training phase establishes the vector model's ability to capture meaningful biological relationships, ensuring that subsequently generated negative samples are of high quality. The preliminary action separates the computationally intensive model training from the sample generation process, improving overall efficiency.
