• Title: Bayesian outcome-guided multi-view mixture models with applications in molecular precision medicine
• Authors: Paul D. W. Kirk, Filippo Pagani, Sylvia Richardson
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Clustering is commonly performed as an initial analysis step for uncovering structure in 'omics datasets, e.g. to discover molecular subtypes of disease. The high-throughput, high-dimensional nature of these datasets means that they provide information on a diverse array of different biomolecular processes and pathways. Different groups of variables (e.g. genes or proteins) will be implicated in different biomolecular processes, and hence undertaking analyses that are limited to identifying just a single clustering partition of the whole dataset is therefore liable to conflate the multiple clustering structures that may arise from these distinct processes. To address this, 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. We adopt the semi-supervised, outcome-guided mixture modelling approach of Bayesian profile regression that makes use of a response variable in order to guide inference toward the clusterings that are most relevant in a stratified medicine context. We present the model, together with illustrative simulation examples, and examples from pan-cancer proteomics. We demonstrate how the approach can be used to perform integrative clustering, and consider an example in which different 'omics datasets are integrated in the context of breast cancer subtyping.

  Data-Free Meta-Learning (DFML) aims to derive knowledge from a collection of pre-trained models without accessing their original data. Current methods often overlook the heterogeneity among pre-trained models, which leads to performance degradation due to task conflicts. We propose Task Groupings Regularization, a novel approach that benefits from model heterogeneity by grouping and aligning conflicting tasks.

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.

  This paper presents a novel approach that leverages domain variability to learn representations that are conditionally invariant to unwanted variability or distractors. We apply our method to grand biological challenges, such as data integration in single-cell genomics. Specifically, the proposed approach helps to disentangle biological signals from data biases that are unrelated to the target task or the causal explanation of interest.

Our proposed model generates a distribution of segmentation masks by leveraging the inherent sampling process of diffusion. Comprehensive results show that our proposed approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art ambiguous segmentation networks.
