PKB framework boosts genomic data analysis by integrating pathway knowledge.
The analysis of cancer genomic data has long suffered "the curse of dimensionality". Sample sizes for most cancer genomic studies are a few hundreds at most while there are tens of thousands of genomic features studied. Various methods have been proposed to leverage prior biological knowledge, such as pathways, to more…
Bayesian approach infers signaling pathways from data.
We categorise coherent band (aka nullification) pathways between knots and 2-component links. Additionally, we characterise the minimal coherent band pathways (with intermediates) between any two knots or 2-component links with small crossing number. We demonstrate these band surgeries for knots and links with small cr…
Bayesian hypergraph inference models disease pathways from EHR data.
In many scientific studies, it becomes increasingly important to delineate the causal pathways through a large number of mediators, such as genetic and brain mediators. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a popular technique to estimate the pathway effects, commonly expressed as products of coefficients. However, it …

Joint replacement is the most common inpatient surgical treatment in the US. We investigate the clinical pathway optimization for knee replacement, which is a sequential decision process from onset to recovery. Based on episodic claims from previous cases, we view the pathway optimization as an intelligence crowdsourci…
Complex systems may contain heterogeneous types of variables that interact in a multi-level and multi-scale manner. In this context, high-level layers may considered as groups of variables interacting in lower-level layers. This is particularly true in biology, where, for example, genes are grouped in pathways and two …
This research improves multitask learning by creating task-specific pathways.
In this work, a machine learning approach for identifying the multi-omics metabolic regulatory control circuits inside the pathways is described. Therefore, the identification of bacterial metabolic pathways that are more regulated than others in term of their multi-omics follows from the analysis of these circuits . T…

We introduce tools to capture the dynamics of three different pathways, in which the synchronization of human decision-making could lead to turbulent periods and contagion phenomena in financial markets. The first pathway is caused when stock market indices, seen as a set of coupled integrate-and-fire oscillators, sync…
