DeepInsight: A methodology to transform a non-image data to an image for convolution neural network architecture.

ABSTRACT: It is critical, but difficult, to catch the small variation in genomic or other kinds of data that differentiates phenotypes or categories. A plethora of data is available, but the information from its genes or elements is spread over arbitrarily, making it challenging to extract relevant details for identification. However, an arrangement of similar genes into clusters makes these differences more accessible and allows for robust identification of hidden mechanisms (e.g. pathways) than dealing with elements individually. Here we propose, DeepInsight, which converts non-image samples into a well-organized image-form. Thereby, the power of convolution neural network (CNN), including GPU utilization, can be realized for non-image samples. Furthermore, DeepInsight enables feature extraction through the application of CNN for non-image samples to seize imperative information and shown promising results. To our knowledge, this is the first work to apply CNN simultaneously on different kinds of non-image datasets: RNA-seq, vowels, text, and artificial.
