• Title: Coupling Deep Imputation with Multitask Learning for Downstream Tasks on Genomics Data
• Authors: Sophie Peacock, Etai Jacob, Nikolay Burlutskiy
• Abstract summary: In this paper we investigate how imputing data with missing values using deep learning and multitask learning can help to reach state-of-the-art performance results. We propose a generalised deep imputation method to impute values where a patient has all modalities present except one. In contrast, when using all modalities for survival prediction we observe that multitask learning alone outperforms deep imputation alone with statistical significance.

• Abstract: Genomics data such as RNA gene expression, methylation and micro RNA expression are valuable sources of information for various clinical predictive tasks. For example, predicting survival outcomes, cancer histology type and other patients' related information is possible using not only clinical data but molecular data as well. Moreover, using these data sources together, for example in multitask learning, can boost the performance. However, in practice, there are many missing data points which leads to significantly lower patient numbers when analysing full cases, which in our setting refers to all modalities being present. In this paper we investigate how imputing data with missing values using deep learning coupled with multitask learning can help to reach state-of-the-art performance results using combined genomics modalities, RNA, micro RNA and methylation. We propose a generalised deep imputation method to impute values where a patient has all modalities present except one. Interestingly enough, deep imputation alone outperforms multitask learning alone for the classification and regression tasks across most combinations of modalities. In contrast, when using all modalities for survival prediction we observe that multitask learning alone outperforms deep imputation alone with statistical significance (adjusted p-value 0.03). Thus, both approaches are complementary when optimising performance for downstream predictive tasks.

  Under-representation of groups in datasets can lead to inaccurate predictions for certain groups, which can exacerbate systemic discrimination issues. We propose TRAPDOOR, a methodology for identification of biased datasets by repurposing a technique that has been mostly proposed for nefarious purposes: Neural network backdoors. Using a real-world cancer dataset, we analyze the dataset with the bias that already existed towards white individuals and also introduced biases in datasets artificially.
