Development of interpretable machine learning models for clinical healthcare applications has the potential of changing the way we understand, treat, and ultimately cure, diseases and disorders in many areas of medicine. These models can…
Clinical time series data are critical for patient monitoring and predictive modeling. These time series are typically multivariate and often comprise hundreds of heterogeneous features from different data sources. The grouping of features…
Neuroblastoma is a strongly heterogeneous cancer with very diverse clinical courses that may vary from spontaneous regression to fatal progression; an accurate patient's risk estimation at diagnosis is essential to design appropriate tumor…
Due to the high heterogeneity and clinical characteristics of cancer, there are significant differences in multi-omic data and clinical characteristics among different cancer subtypes. Therefore, accurate classification of cancer subtypes…
Effective understanding of a disease such as cancer requires fusing multiple sources of information captured across physical scales by multimodal data. In this work, we propose a novel feature embedding module that derives from canonical…
Kernel and Multiple Kernel Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) are employed to classify schizophrenic and healthy patients based on their SNPs, DNA Methylation and fMRI data. Kernel and Multiple Kernel CCA are popular methods for finding…
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…
In many fields, researchers are interested in large and complex biological processes. Two important examples are gene expression and DNA methylation in genetics. One key problem is to identify aberrant patterns of these processes and…
With medical tests becoming increasingly available, concerns about over-testing and over-treatment dramatically increase. Hence, it is important to understand the influence of testing on treatment selection in general practice. Most…
Thyroid cancer is currently the fifth most common malignancy diagnosed in women. Since differentiation of cancer sub-types is important for treatment and current, manual methods are time consuming and subjective, automatic computer-aided…
Machine learning can precisely identify different cancer tumors at any stage by classifying cancerous and healthy samples based on their genomic profile. We have developed novel methods of MLAC (Machine Learning Against Cancer) achieving…
Cancer has relational information residing at varying scales, modalities, and resolutions of the acquired data, such as radiology, pathology, genomics, proteomics, and clinical records. Integrating diverse data types can improve the…
Subspace clustering has been extensively studied from the hypothesis-and-test, algebraic, and spectral clustering based perspectives. Most assume that only a single type/class of subspace is present. Generalizations to multiple types are…
High-throughput omics profiling advancements have greatly enhanced cancer patient stratification. However, incomplete data in multi-omics integration presents a significant challenge, as traditional methods like sample exclusion or…
Gliomas are brain tumours with a high mortality rate. There are various grades and sub-types of this tumour, and the treatment procedure varies accordingly. Clinicians and oncologists diagnose and categorise these tumours based on visual…
Hyperspectral imaging is a powerful technology that is plagued by large dimensionality. Herein, we explore a way to combat that hindrance via non-contiguous and contiguous (simpler to realize sensor) band grouping for dimensionality…
Morphological attributes from histopathological images and molecular profiles from genomic data are important information to drive diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of cancers. By integrating these heterogeneous but complementary data, many…
State-of-the-art clustering algorithms use heuristics to partition the feature space and provide little insight into the rationale for cluster membership, limiting their interpretability. In healthcare applications, the latter poses a…
For early breast cancer detection, regular screening with mammography imaging is recommended. Routinary examinations result in datasets with a predominant amount of negative samples. A potential solution to such class-imbalance is joining…
Images remain the largest data source in the field of healthcare. But at the same time, they are the most difficult to analyze. More than often, these images are analyzed by human experts such as pathologists and physicians. But due to…
