• Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a novel and interpretable methodology to cluster subjects suffering from cancer, based on features extracted from their biopsies. Contrary to existing approaches, we propose here to capture complex patterns in the repartitions of their cells using histograms, and compare subjects on the basis of these repartitions. We describe here our complete workflow, including creation of the database, cells segmentation and phenotyping, computation of complex features, choice of a distance function between features, clustering between subjects using that distance, and survival analysis of obtained clusters. We illustrate our approach on a database of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained tissues of subjects suffering from Stage I lung adenocarcinoma, where our results match existing knowledge in prognosis estimation with high confidence.

  We have developed a pipeline to integrate cross-sectional and longitudinal data from multiple sources. It includes variable selection/ranking using linear and nonlinear methods, feature extraction using functional principal component analysis and Euler characteristics, and joint integration and classification using dense feed-forward networks and recurrent neural networks. We applied this pipeline to cross-sectional and longitudinal multi-omics data (metagenomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics) from an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) study and we identified microbial pathways, metabolites, and genes that discriminate by IBD status.

  We develop an attention-enhanced graph autoencoder, which is designed to efficiently capture the topological features between cells. During the clustering process, we integrated both sets of information and reconstructed the features of both cells and genes to generate a discriminative representation. This research offers enhanced insights into the characteristics and distribution of cells, thereby laying the groundwork for early diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

  Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory condition that affects segments of the gastrointestinal tract. understanding the broader morphometry and local cell arrangement beyond cell counting and tissue morphology remains challenging. We characterize six distinct cell types from H&E images and develop a novel approach for the local spatial signature of each cell.

  Clustering is commonly performed as an initial analysis step for uncovering structure in 'omics datasets. We propose a multi-view Bayesian mixture model that identifies groups of variables (views"), each of which defines a distinct clustering structure. We consider applications in stratified medicine, for which our principal goal is to identify clusters of patients that define distinct, clinically actionable disease subtypes.
