Towards a metagenomics machine learning interpretable model for understanding the transition from adenoma to colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT: Gut microbiome is gaining interest because of its links with several diseases, including colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as the possibility of being used to obtain non-intrusive predictive disease biomarkers. Here we performed a meta-analysis of 1042 fecal metagenomic samples from seven publicly available studies. We used an interpretable machine learning approach based on functional profiles, instead of the conventional taxonomic profiles, to produce a highly accurate predictor of CRC with better precision than those of previous proposals. Moreover, this approach is also able to discriminate samples with adenoma, which makes this approach very promising for CRC prevention by detecting early stages in which intervention is easier and more effective. In addition, interpretable machine learning methods allow extracting features relevant for the classification, which reveals basic molecular mechanisms accounting for the changes undergone by the microbiome functional landscape in the transition from healthy gut to adenoma and CRC conditions. Functional profiles have demonstrated superior accuracy in predicting CRC and adenoma conditions than taxonomic profiles and additionally, in a context of explainable machine learning, provide useful hints on the molecular mechanisms operating in the microbiota behind these conditions.

Comparison of Machine Learning Methods towards Developing Interpretable Polyamide Property Prediction.

Project description:Polyamides are often used for their superior thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties. They form a diverse set of materials that have a large variation in properties between linear to aromatic compounds, which renders the traditional quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) challenging. We use extended connectivity fingerprints (ECFP) and traditional QSPR fingerprints to develop machine learning models to perform high fidelity prediction of glass transition temperature (Tg), melting temperature (Tm), density (ρ), and tensile modulus (E). The non-linear model using random forest is in general found to be more accurate than linear regression; however, using feature selection or regularization, the accuracy of linear models is shown to be improved significantly to become comparable to the more complex nonlinear algorithm. We find that none of the models or fingerprints were able to accurately predict the tensile modulus E, which we hypothesize is due to heterogeneity in data and data sources, as well as inherent challenges in measuring it. Finally, QSPR models revealed that the fraction of rotatable bonds, and the rotational degree of freedom affects polyamide properties most profoundly and can be used for back of the envelope calculations for a quick estimate of the polymer attributes (glass transition temperature, melting temperature, and density). These QSPR models, although having slightly lower prediction accuracy, show the most promise for the polymer chemist seeking to develop an intuition of ways to modify the chemistry to enhance specific attributes.

An interpretable machine learning model for diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

Project description:We present an interpretable machine learning model for medical diagnosis called sparse high-order interaction model with rejection option (SHIMR). A decision tree explains to a patient the diagnosis with a long rule (i.e., conjunction of many intervals), while SHIMR employs a weighted sum of short rules. Using proteomics data of 151 subjects in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset, SHIMR is shown to be as accurate as other non-interpretable methods (Sensitivity, SN = 0.84 ± 0.1, Specificity, SP = 0.69 ± 0.15 and Area Under the Curve, AUC = 0.86 ± 0.09). For clinical usage, SHIMR has a function to abstain from making any diagnosis when it is not confident enough, so that a medical doctor can choose more accurate but invasive and/or more costly pathologies. The incorporation of a rejection option complements SHIMR in designing a multistage cost-effective diagnosis framework. Using a baseline concentration of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma proteins from a common cohort of 141 subjects, SHIMR is shown to be effective in designing a patient-specific cost-effective Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. Thus, interpretability, reliability and having the potential to design a patient-specific multistage cost-effective diagnosis framework can make SHIMR serve as an indispensable tool in the era of precision medicine that can cater to the demand of both doctors and patients, and reduce the overwhelming financial burden of medical diagnosis.

An interpretable machine learning system for colorectal cancer diagnosis from pathology slides.

Project description:Considering the profound transformation affecting pathology practice, we aimed to develop a scalable artificial intelligence (AI) system to diagnose colorectal cancer from whole-slide images (WSI). For this, we propose a deep learning (DL) system that learns from weak labels, a sampling strategy that reduces the number of training samples by a factor of six without compromising performance, an approach to leverage a small subset of fully annotated samples, and a prototype with explainable predictions, active learning features and parallelisation. Noting some problems in the literature, this study is conducted with one of the largest WSI colorectal samples dataset with approximately 10,500 WSIs. Of these samples, 900 are testing samples. Furthermore, the robustness of the proposed method is assessed with two additional external datasets (TCGA and PAIP) and a dataset of samples collected directly from the proposed prototype. Our proposed method predicts, for the patch-based tiles, a class based on the severity of the dysplasia and uses that information to classify the whole slide. It is trained with an interpretable mixed-supervision scheme to leverage the domain knowledge introduced by pathologists through spatial annotations. The mixed-supervision scheme allowed for an intelligent sampling strategy effectively evaluated in several different scenarios without compromising the performance. On the internal dataset, the method shows an accuracy of 93.44% and a sensitivity between positive (low-grade and high-grade dysplasia) and non-neoplastic samples of 0.996. On the external test samples varied with TCGA being the most challenging dataset with an overall accuracy of 84.91% and a sensitivity of 0.996.

A Multi-Omics Interpretable Machine Learning Model Reveals Modes of Action of Small Molecules (RNA-Seq)

Project description:High-throughput screening and gene signature analyses frequently identify lead therapeutic compounds with unknown modes of action (MoAs), and the resulting uncertainties can lead to the failure of clinical trials. We developed a multi-omics approach for uncovering MoAs through an interpretable machine learning model of the effects of compounds on transcriptomic, epigenomic, metabolomic, and proteomic data. We applied this approach to examine compounds with beneficial effects in models of Huntington’s disease, finding common MoAs for previously unrelated compounds that were not predicted based on similarities in the compounds’ structures, connectivity scores, or binding targets. We experimentally validated two such disease-relevant MoAs, autophagy activation and bioenergetics manipulation. This interpretable machine learning approach can be used to find and evaluate MoAs in future drug development efforts.

R.ROSETTA: an interpretable machine learning framework.

Project description:BackgroundMachine learning involves strategies and algorithms that may assist bioinformatics analyses in terms of data mining and knowledge discovery. In several applications, viz. in Life Sciences, it is often more important to understand how a prediction was obtained rather than knowing what prediction was made. To this end so-called interpretable machine learning has been recently advocated. In this study, we implemented an interpretable machine learning package based on the rough set theory. An important aim of our work was provision of statistical properties of the models and their components.ResultsWe present the R.ROSETTA package, which is an R wrapper of ROSETTA framework. The original ROSETTA functions have been improved and adapted to the R programming environment. The package allows for building and analyzing non-linear interpretable machine learning models. R.ROSETTA gathers combinatorial statistics via rule-based modelling for accessible and transparent results, well-suited for adoption within the greater scientific community. The package also provides statistics and visualization tools that facilitate minimization of analysis bias and noise. The R.ROSETTA package is freely available at https://github.com/komorowskilab/R.ROSETTA . To illustrate the usage of the package, we applied it to a transcriptome dataset from an autism case-control study. Our tool provided hypotheses for potential co-predictive mechanisms among features that discerned phenotype classes. These co-predictors represented neurodevelopmental and autism-related genes.ConclusionsR.ROSETTA provides new insights for interpretable machine learning analyses and knowledge-based systems. We demonstrated that our package facilitated detection of dependencies for autism-related genes. Although the sample application of R.ROSETTA illustrates transcriptome data analysis, the package can be used to analyze any data organized in decision tables.

A Gene-Based Machine Learning Classifier Associated to the Colorectal Adenoma-Carcinoma Sequence.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) carcinogenesis is generally the result of the sequential mutation and deletion of various genes; this is known as the normal mucosa-adenoma-carcinoma sequence. The aim of this study was to develop a predictor-classifier during the "adenoma-carcinoma" sequence using microarray gene expression profiles of primary CRC, adenoma, and normal colon epithelial tissues. Four gene expression profiles from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, containing 465 samples (105 normal, 155 adenoma, and 205 CRC), were preprocessed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between adenoma tissue and primary CRC. The feature selection procedure, using the sequential Boruta algorithm and Stepwise Regression, determined 56 highly important genes. K-Means methods showed that, using the selected 56 DEGs, the three groups were clearly separate. The classification was performed with machine learning algorithms such as Linear Model (LM), Random Forest (RF), k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The best classification method in terms of accuracy (88.06 ± 0.70) and AUC (92.04 ± 0.47) was k-NN. To confirm the relevance of the predictive models, we applied the four models on a validation cohort: the k-NN model remained the best model in terms of performance, with 91.11% accuracy. Among the 56 DEGs, we identified 17 genes with an ascending or descending trend through the normal mucosa-adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Moreover, using the survival information of the TCGA database, we selected six DEGs related to patient prognosis (SCARA5, PKIB, CWH43, TEX11, METTL7A, and VEGFA). The six-gene-based classifier described in the current study could be used as a potential biomarker for the early diagnosis of CRC.

Revealing the Grammar of Small RNA Secretion Using Interpretable Machine Learning IV

Project description:Small non-coding RNAs can be secreted through a variety of mechanisms, including exosomal sorting, in small extracellular vesicles, and within lipoprotein complexes. However, the mechanisms that govern their sorting and secretion are still not well understood. In this study, we present ExoGRU, a machine learning model that predicts small RNA secretion probabilities from primary RNA sequence. We experimentally validated the performance of this model through ExoGRU-guided mutagenesis and synthetic RNA sequence analysis, and confirmed that primary RNA sequence is a major determinant in small RNA secretion. Additionally, we used ExoGRU to reveal cis and trans factors that underlie small RNA secretion, including known and novel RNA-binding proteins, e.g., YBX1, HNRNPA2B1, and RBM24. We also developed a novel technique called exoCLIP, which reveals the RNA interactome of RBPs within the cell-free space. We used exoCLIP to reveal the RNA interactome of HNRNPA2B1 and RBM24 in extracellular vesicles. Together, our results demonstrate the power of machine learning in revealing novel biological mechanisms. In addition to providing deeper insight into complex processes such as small RNA secretion, this knowledge can be leveraged in therapeutic and synthetic biology applications.
