New method makes neural networks transparent, revealing learning modes.
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 …
Identifying altered pathways that are associated with specific cancer types can potentially bring a significant impact on cancer patient treatment.

Motivated by an important insight from neural science, we propose a new framework for understanding the success of the recently proposed "maxout" networks. The framework is based on encoding information on sparse pathways and recognizing the correct pathway at inference time. Elaborating further on this insight, we pro…
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…
A new DP algorithm for weighted ERM protects sensitive data in predictive models.
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…
New method detects and compares folding pathways of knotted proteins.
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…

In this work, we developed a network inference method from incomplete data ("PathInf") , as massive and non-uniformly distributed missing values is a common challenge in practical problems. PathInf is a two-stages inference model. In the first stage, it applies a data summarization model based on maximum likelihood to …

A key goal of computational personalized medicine is to systematically utilize genomic and other molecular features of samples to predict drug responses for a previously unseen sample. Such predictions are valuable for developing hypotheses for selecting therapies tailored for individual patients. This is especially va…
We consider the problem of learning fair decision systems in complex scenarios in which a sensitive attribute might affect the decision along both fair and unfair pathways. We introduce a causal approach to disregard effects along unfair pathways that simplifies and generalizes previous literature. Our method corrects …

ISOKANN learns collective variables and effective dynamics for metastable transitions.
The backpropagation (BP) algorithm is often thought to be biologically implausible in the brain. One of the main reasons is that BP requires symmetric weight matrices in the feedforward and feedback pathways. To address this "weight transport problem" (Grossberg, 1987), two more biologically plausible algorithms, propo…
The goal of personalized decision making is to map a unit's characteristics to an action tailored to maximize the expected outcome for that unit. Obtaining high-quality mappings of this type is the goal of the dynamic regime literature. In healthcare settings, optimizing policies with respect to a particular causal pat…
