Predicting innovative firms using web mining and deep learning.

ABSTRACT: Evidence-based STI (science, technology, and innovation) policy making requires accurate indicators of innovation in order to promote economic growth. However, traditional indicators from patents and questionnaire-based surveys often lack coverage, granularity as well as timeliness and may involve high data collection costs, especially when conducted at a large scale. Consequently, they struggle to provide policy makers and scientists with the full picture of the current state of the innovation system. In this paper, we propose a first approach on generating web-based innovation indicators which may have the potential to overcome some of the shortcomings of traditional indicators. Specifically, we develop a method to identify product innovator firms at a large scale and very low costs. We use traditional firm-level indicators from a questionnaire-based innovation survey (German Community Innovation Survey) to train an artificial neural network classification model on labelled (product innovator/no product innovator) web texts of surveyed firms. Subsequently, we apply this classification model to the web texts of hundreds of thousands of firms in Germany to predict whether they are product innovators or not. We then compare these predictions to firm-level patent statistics, survey extrapolation benchmark data, and regional innovation indicators. The results show that our approach produces reliable predictions and has the potential to be a valuable and highly cost-efficient addition to the existing set of innovation indicators, especially due to its coverage and regional granularity.

Predicting the Landscape of Recombination Using Deep Learning.

Project description:Accurately inferring the genome-wide landscape of recombination rates in natural populations is a central aim in genomics, as patterns of linkage influence everything from genetic mapping to understanding evolutionary history. Here, we describe recombination landscape estimation using recurrent neural networks (ReLERNN), a deep learning method for estimating a genome-wide recombination map that is accurate even with small numbers of pooled or individually sequenced genomes. Rather than use summaries of linkage disequilibrium as its input, ReLERNN takes columns from a genotype alignment, which are then modeled as a sequence across the genome using a recurrent neural network. We demonstrate that ReLERNN improves accuracy and reduces bias relative to existing methods and maintains high accuracy in the face of demographic model misspecification, missing genotype calls, and genome inaccessibility. We apply ReLERNN to natural populations of African Drosophila melanogaster and show that genome-wide recombination landscapes, although largely correlated among populations, exhibit important population-specific differences. Lastly, we connect the inferred patterns of recombination with the frequencies of major inversions segregating in natural Drosophila populations.

Predicting Ischemic Stroke Outcome Using Deep Learning Approaches.

Project description:Predicting functional outcomes after an Ischemic Stroke (IS) is highly valuable for patients and desirable for physicians. This facilitates physicians to set reasonable goals for patients and cooperate with patients and relatives effectively, and furthermore to reach common after-stroke care decisions for recovery and make exercise plans to facilitate rehabilitation. The objective of this research is to apply three current Deep Learning (DL) approaches for 6-month IS outcome predictions, using the openly accessible International Stroke Trial (IST) dataset. Furthermore, another objective of this research is to compare these DL approaches with machine learning (ML) for performing in clinical prediction. After comparing various ML methods (Deep Forest, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, etc.) with current DL frameworks (CNN, LSTM, Resnet), the results show that DL doesn't outperform ML significantly. DL methods and reporting used for analyzing structured medical data should be developed and improved.

Predicting hydration layers on surfaces using deep learning.

Project description:Characterisation of the nanoscale interface formed between minerals and water is essential to the understanding of natural processes, such as biomineralization, and to develop new technologies where function is dominated by the mineral-water interface. Atomic force microscopy offers the potential to characterize solid-liquid interfaces in high-resolution, with several experimental and theoretical studies offering molecular scale resolution by linking measurements directly to water density on the surface. However, the theoretical techniques used to interpret such results are computationally intensive and development of the approach has been limited by interpretation challenges. In this work, we develop a deep learning architecture to learn the solid-liquid interface of polymorphs of calcium carbonate, allowing for the rapid predictions of density profiles with reasonable accuracy.

Predicting Proteolysis in Complex Proteomes Using Deep Learning.

Project description:Both protease- and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated proteolysis are thought to be key effectors of tissue remodeling. We have previously shown that comparison of amino acid composition can predict the differential susceptibilities of proteins to photo-oxidation. However, predicting protein susceptibility to endogenous proteases remains challenging. Here, we aim to develop bioinformatics tools to (i) predict cleavage site locations (and hence putative protein susceptibilities) and (ii) compare the predicted vulnerabilities of skin proteins to protease- and ROS-mediated proteolysis. The first goal of this study was to experimentally evaluate the ability of existing protease cleavage site prediction models (PROSPER and DeepCleave) to identify experimentally determined MMP9 cleavage sites in two purified proteins and in a complex human dermal fibroblast-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) proteome. We subsequently developed deep bidirectional recurrent neural network (BRNN) models to predict cleavage sites for 14 tissue proteases. The predictions of the new models were tested against experimental datasets and combined with amino acid composition analysis (to predict ultraviolet radiation (UVR)/ROS susceptibility) in a new web app: the Manchester proteome susceptibility calculator (MPSC). The BRNN models performed better in predicting cleavage sites in native dermal ECM proteins than existing models (DeepCleave and PROSPER), and application of MPSC to the skin proteome suggests that: compared with the elastic fiber network, fibrillar collagens may be susceptible primarily to protease-mediated proteolysis. We also identify additional putative targets of oxidative damage (dermatopontin, fibulins and defensins) and protease action (laminins and nidogen). MPSC has the potential to identify potential targets of proteolysis in disparate tissues and disease states.

DeepC: Predicting chromatin interactions using megabase scaled deep neural networks and transfer learning (Tiled-C)

Project description:Understanding 3D genome structure requires high throughput, genome-wide approaches. However, assays for all vs. all chromatin interaction mapping are expensive and time consuming, which severely restricts their usage for large-scale mutagenesis screens or for mapping the impact of sequence variants. Computational models sophisticated enough to grasp the determinants of chromatin folding provide a unique window into the functional determinants of 3D genome structure as well as the effects of genome variation. A chromatin interaction predictor should work at the base pair level but also incorporate large-scale genomic context to simultaneously capture the large scale and intricate structures of chromatin architecture. Similarly, to be a flexible and generalisable approach it should also be applicable to data it has not been explicitly trained on. To develop a model with these properties, we designed a deep neuronal network (deepC) that utilizes transfer learning to accurately predict chromatin interactions from DNA sequence at megabase scale. The model generalizes well to unseen chromosomes and works across cell types, Hi-C data resolutions and a range of sequencing depths. DeepC integrates DNA sequence context on an unprecedented scale, bridging the different levels of resolution from base pairs to TADs. We demonstrate how this model allows us to investigate sequence determinants of chromatin folding at genome-wide scale and to predict the importance of regulatory elements and the impact of sequence variations.

Predicting Infectious Disease Using Deep Learning and Big Data.

Project description:Infectious disease occurs when a person is infected by a pathogen from another person or an animal. It is a problem that causes harm at both individual and macro scales. The Korea Center for Disease Control (KCDC) operates a surveillance system to minimize infectious disease contagions. However, in this system, it is difficult to immediately act against infectious disease because of missing and delayed reports. Moreover, infectious disease trends are not known, which means prediction is not easy. This study predicts infectious diseases by optimizing the parameters of deep learning algorithms while considering big data including social media data. The performance of the deep neural network (DNN) and long-short term memory (LSTM) learning models were compared with the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) when predicting three infectious diseases one week into the future. The results show that the DNN and LSTM models perform better than ARIMA. When predicting chickenpox, the top-10 DNN and LSTM models improved average performance by 24% and 19%, respectively. The DNN model performed stably and the LSTM model was more accurate when infectious disease was spreading. We believe that this study's models can help eliminate reporting delays in existing surveillance systems and, therefore, minimize costs to society.

Predicting phenotypes from novel genomic markers using deep learning.

Project description:Genomic selection (GS) models use single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers to predict phenotypes. However, these predictive models face challenges due to the high dimensionality of genome-wide SNP marker data. Thanks to recent breakthroughs in DNA sequencing and decreased sequencing cost, the study of novel genomic variants such as structural variations (SVs) and transposable elements (TEs) become increasingly prevalent. In this article, we develop a deep convolutional neural network model, NovGMDeep, to predict phenotypes using SVs and TEs markers for GS. The proposed model is trained and tested on samples of Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa using k-fold cross-validation. The prediction accuracy is evaluated using Pearson's Correlation Coefficient (PCC), mean absolute error (MAE) and SD of MAE. The predicted results showed higher correlation when the model is trained with SVs and TEs than with SNPs. NovGMDeep also has higher prediction accuracy when comparing with conventional statistical models. This work sheds light on the unappreciated function of SVs and TEs in genotype-to-phenotype associations, as well as their extensive significance and value in crop development.

Predicting TCR-Epitope Binding Specificity Using Deep Metric Learning and Multimodal Learning.

Project description:Understanding the recognition of specific epitopes by cytotoxic T cells is a central problem in immunology. Although predicting binding between peptides and the class I Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) has had success, predicting interactions between T cell receptors (TCRs) and MHC class I-peptide complexes (pMHC) remains elusive. This paper utilizes a convolutional neural network model employing deep metric learning and multimodal learning to perform two critical tasks in TCR-epitope binding prediction: identifying the TCRs that bind a given epitope from a TCR repertoire, and identifying the binding epitope of a given TCR from a list of candidate epitopes. Our model can perform both tasks simultaneously and reveals that inconsistent preprocessing of TCR sequences can confound binding prediction. Applying a neural network interpretation method identifies key amino acid sequence patterns and positions within the TCR, important for binding specificity. Contrary to common assumption, known crystal structures of TCR-pMHC complexes show that the predicted salient amino acid positions are not necessarily the closest to the epitopes, implying that physical proximity may not be a good proxy for importance in determining TCR-epitope specificity. Our work thus provides an insight into the learned predictive features of TCR-epitope binding specificity and advances the associated classification tasks.
