Book Graph Representation Learning

Download or read book Graph Representation Learning written by William L. William L. Hamilton and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graph-structured data is ubiquitous throughout the natural and social sciences, from telecommunication networks to quantum chemistry. Building relational inductive biases into deep learning architectures is crucial for creating systems that can learn, reason, and generalize from this kind of data. Recent years have seen a surge in research on graph representation learning, including techniques for deep graph embeddings, generalizations of convolutional neural networks to graph-structured data, and neural message-passing approaches inspired by belief propagation. These advances in graph representation learning have led to new state-of-the-art results in numerous domains, including chemical synthesis, 3D vision, recommender systems, question answering, and social network analysis. This book provides a synthesis and overview of graph representation learning. It begins with a discussion of the goals of graph representation learning as well as key methodological foundations in graph theory and network analysis. Following this, the book introduces and reviews methods for learning node embeddings, including random-walk-based methods and applications to knowledge graphs. It then provides a technical synthesis and introduction to the highly successful graph neural network (GNN) formalism, which has become a dominant and fast-growing paradigm for deep learning with graph data. The book concludes with a synthesis of recent advancements in deep generative models for graphs—a nascent but quickly growing subset of graph representation learning.

Book Machine Learning Approaches to Multi modal Data Integration and Translation in Single cell Biology

Download or read book Machine Learning Approaches to Multi modal Data Integration and Translation in Single cell Biology written by Karren Yang and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building a complete picture of cell state requires measuring different properties of the cells, such as their gene expression, morphology, etc., and understanding 1) how these properties relate to each other, 2) how they change over time, 3) how they are affected by different perturbations. It is often difficult to collect this information through experimentation alone. High-throughput single-cell assays such as single-cell RNA-sequencing are destructive to cells, making it difficult to make other observations of the same cells at other time points or using different measurement tools. In this thesis, I develop new machine learning methodology to integrate and translate between single-cell data. In the first half, I develop methods based on generative modeling, representation learning and optimal transport to learn mappings between cells collected at different time points. In the second half, I develop methods based on generative modeling and representation learning to map between different data modalities, including both observational measurements and interventions. Overall, this body of work progresses towards the larger goal of complete cell models that predict cell state under different measurements, time points, and perturbations.

Book A mathematical modeling framework to simulate and analyze cell type transitions

Download or read book A mathematical modeling framework to simulate and analyze cell type transitions written by Daniella Schittler and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2015-03-20 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quantitative understanding of changes in cell types, referred to as cell type transitions, is fundamental to advance fields such as stem cell research, immunology, and cancer therapies. This thesis provides a mathematical modeling framework to simulate and analyze cell type transitions. The novel methodological approaches and models presented here address diverse levels which are essential in this context: Gene regulatory network models represent the cell type-determining gene expression dynamics. Here, a novel construction method for gene regulatory network models is introduced, which allows to transfer results from generic low-dimensional to realistic high-dimensional gene regulatory network models. For populations of cells, a generalized model class is proposed that accounts for multiple cell types, division numbers, and the full label distribution. Analysis and solution methods are presented for this new model class, which cover common cell population experiments and allow to exploit the full information from data. The modeling and analysis methods presented here connect formerly isolated approaches, and thereby contribute to a holistic framework for the quantitative understanding of cell type transitions.

Abstract: Systems biology studies complex systems which involve a large number of interacting entities such that their dynamics follow systematical regulations for transition. To develop computational models becomes an urgent need for studying and manipulating biologically relevant systems. The properties and behaviors of complex biological systems can be analyzed and studied by using computational biological network models. In this thesis, construction and computation methods are proposed for studying biological networks. Modeling Genetic Regulatory Networks (GRNs) is an important topic in genomic research. A number of promising formalisms have been developed in capturing the behavior of gene regulations in biological systems. Boolean Network (BN) has received sustainable attentions. Furthermore, it is possible to control one or more genes in a network so as to avoid the network entering into undesired states. Many works have been done on the control policy for a single randomly generated BN, little light has been shed on the analysis of attractor control problem for multiple BNs. An efficient algorithm was developed to study the attractor control problem for multiple BNs. However, one should note that a BN is a deterministic model, a stochastic model is more preferable in practice. Probabilistic Boolean Network (PBN), was proposed to better describe the behavior of genetic process. A PBN can be considered as a Markov chain process and the construction of a PBN is an inverse problem which is computationally challenging. Given a positive stationary distribution, the problem of constructing a sparse PBN was discussed. For the related inverse problems, an efficient algorithm was developed based on entropy approach to estimate the model parameters. The metabolite biomarker discovery problem is a hot topic in bioinformatics. Biomarker identification plays a vital role in the study of biochemical reactions and signalling networks. The lack of essential metabolites may result in triggering human diseases. An effective computational approach is proposed to identify metabolic biomarkers by integrating available biomedical data and disease-specific gene expression data. Pancreatic cancer prediction problem is another hot topic. Pancreatic cancer is known to be difficult to diagnose in the early stage, and early research mainly focused on predicting the survival rate of pancreatic cancer patients. The correct prediction of various disease states can greatly benefit patients and also assist in design of effective and personalized therapeutics. The issue of how to integrating the available laboratory data with classification techniques is an important and challenging issue. An effective approach was suggested to construct a feature space which serves as a significant predictor for classification. Furthermore, a novel method for identifying the outliers was proposed for improving the classification performance. Using our preoperative clinical laboratory data and histologically confirmed pancreatic cancer samples, computational experiments are conducted successfully with the use of Support Vector Machine (SVM) to predict the status of patients.
