Multiview learning for understanding functional multiomics.

ABSTRACT: The molecular mechanisms and functions in complex biological systems currently remain elusive. Recent high-throughput techniques, such as next-generation sequencing, have generated a wide variety of multiomics datasets that enable the identification of biological functions and mechanisms via multiple facets. However, integrating these large-scale multiomics data and discovering functional insights are, nevertheless, challenging tasks. To address these challenges, machine learning has been broadly applied to analyze multiomics. This review introduces multiview learning-an emerging machine learning field-and envisions its potentially powerful applications to multiomics. In particular, multiview learning is more effective than previous integrative methods for learning data's heterogeneity and revealing cross-talk patterns. Although it has been applied to various contexts, such as computer vision and speech recognition, multiview learning has not yet been widely applied to biological data-specifically, multiomics data. Therefore, this paper firstly reviews recent multiview learning methods and unifies them in a framework called multiview empirical risk minimization (MV-ERM). We further discuss the potential applications of each method to multiomics, including genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics, in an aim to discover the functional and mechanistic interpretations across omics. Secondly, we explore possible applications to different biological systems, including human diseases (e.g., brain disorders and cancers), plants, and single-cell analysis, and discuss both the benefits and caveats of using multiview learning to discover the molecular mechanisms and functions of these systems.

Project description:BackgroundIn Alzheimer's Diseases (AD) research, multimodal imaging analysis can unveil complementary information from multiple imaging modalities and further our understanding of the disease. One application is to discover disease subtypes using unsupervised clustering. However, existing clustering methods are often applied to input features directly, and could suffer from the curse of dimensionality with high-dimensional multimodal data. The purpose of our study is to identify multimodal imaging-driven subtypes in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) participants using a multiview learning framework based on Deep Generalized Canonical Correlation Analysis (DGCCA), to learn shared latent representation with low dimensions from 3 neuroimaging modalities.ResultsDGCCA applies non-linear transformation to input views using neural networks and is able to learn correlated embeddings with low dimensions that capture more variance than its linear counterpart, generalized CCA (GCCA). We designed experiments to compare DGCCA embeddings with single modality features and GCCA embeddings by generating 2 subtypes from each feature set using unsupervised clustering. In our validation studies, we found that amyloid PET imaging has the most discriminative features compared with structural MRI and FDG PET which DGCCA learns from but not GCCA. DGCCA subtypes show differential measures in 5 cognitive assessments, 6 brain volume measures, and conversion to AD patterns. In addition, DGCCA MCI subtypes confirmed AD genetic markers with strong signals that existing late MCI group did not identify.ConclusionOverall, DGCCA is able to learn effective low dimensional embeddings from multimodal data by learning non-linear projections. MCI subtypes generated from DGCCA embeddings are different from existing early and late MCI groups and show most similarity with those identified by amyloid PET features. In our validation studies, DGCCA subtypes show distinct patterns in cognitive measures, brain volumes, and are able to identify AD genetic markers. These findings indicate the promise of the imaging-driven subtypes and their power in revealing disease structures beyond early and late stage MCI.

Project description:Objective The study aims to establish and validate an effective CT-based radiation pneumonitis (RP) prediction model using the multiomics method of radiomics and EQD2-based dosiomics. Materials and Methods The study performed a retrospective analysis on 91 nonsmall cell lung cancer patients who received radiotherapy from 2019 to 2021 in our hospital. The patients with RP grade ≥1 were labeled as 1, and those with RP grade < 1 were labeled as 0. The whole lung excluding clinical target volume (lung-CTV) was used as the region of interest (ROI). The radiomic and dosiomic features were extracted from the lung-CTV area's image and dose distribution. Besides, the equivalent dose of the 2 Gy fractionated radiation (EQD2) model was used to convert the physical dose to the isoeffect dose, and then, the EQD2-based dosiomic (eqd-dosiomic) features were extracted from the isoeffect dose distribution. Four machine learning (ML) models, including DVH, radiomics combined with DVH (radio + DVH), radiomics combined with dosiomics (radio + dose), and radiomics combined with eqd-dosiomics (radio + eqdose), were established to construct the prediction model via eleven different classifiers. The fivefold cross-validation was used to complete the classification experiment. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristics (ROC), accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score were calculated to assess the performance level of the prediction models. Results Compared with the DVH, radio + DVH, and radio + dose model, the value of the training AUC, accuracy, and F1-score of radio + eqdose was higher, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Besides, the average value of the precision and recall of radio + eqdose was higher, but the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusion The performance of using the ML-based multiomics method of radiomics and eqd-dosiomics to predict RP is more efficient and effective.

Project description:PurposeTo determine the feasibility of using deep learning with a multiview approach, similar to how a human radiologist reviews multiple images, for binomial classification of acute pediatric elbow radiographic abnormalities.Materials and methodsA total of 21 456 radiographic studies containing 58 817 images of the elbow and associated radiology reports over the course of a 4-year period from January 2014 through December 2017 at a dedicated children's hospital were retrospectively retrieved. Mean age was 7.2 years, and 43% were female patients. The studies were binomially classified, based on the reports, as either positive or negative for acute or subacute traumatic abnormality. The studies were randomly divided into a training set containing 20 350 studies and a validation set containing the remaining 1106 studies. A multiview approach was used for the model by combining both a convolutional neural network and recurrent neural network to interpret an entire series of three radiographs together. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), and their 95% confidence intervals were calculated.ResultsAUC was 0.95, and accuracy was 88% for the model on the studied dataset. Sensitivity for the model was 91% (536 of 590), while the specificity for the model was 84% (434 of 516). Of 241 supracondylar fractures, one was missed. Of 88 lateral condylar fractures, one was missed. Of 77 elbow effusions without fracture, 15 were missed. Of 184 other abnormalities, 37 were missed.ConclusionDeep learning can effectively classify acute and nonacute pediatric elbow abnormalities on radiographs in the setting of trauma. A recurrent neural network was used to classify an entire radiographic series, arrive at a decision based on all views, and identify fractures in pediatric patients with variable skeletal immaturity.Supplemental material is available for this article.© RSNA, 2019.
