Gene-gene interactions play a crucial role in the manifestation of complex human diseases. Uncovering significant gene-gene interactions is a challenging task. Here, we present an innovative approach utilizing data-driven computational…

To protect deep neural networks (DNNs) from adversarial attacks, adversarial training (AT) is developed by incorporating adversarial examples (AEs) into model training. Recent studies show that adversarial attacks disproportionately impact…

Functional connectivity varies across individuals due to genetic and environmental factors, yet classical twin models typically confound non-shared environment with measurement error and are largely limited to resting-state analyses. We…

Methods for estimating heterogeneous treatment effect in observational data have largely focused on continuous or binary outcomes, and have been relatively less vetted with survival outcomes. Using flexible machine learning methods in the…

The analysis of environmental mixtures is of growing importance in environmental epidemiology, and one of the key goals in such analyses is to identify exposures and their interactions that are associated with adverse health outcomes.…

Increasing evidence has shown that gene-gene interactions have important effects on biological processes of human diseases. Due to the high dimensionality of genetic measurements, existing interaction analysis methods usually suffer from a…

We study causal inference for time-to-event outcomes under right censoring in the presence of unmeasured confounding. Focusing on structural accelerated failure time models, we develop an identification and inference framework that exploits…

Time-to-event analysis, also known as survival analysis, aims to predict the time of occurrence of an event, given a set of features. One of the major challenges in this area is dealing with censored data, which can make learning algorithms…

An important task in health research is to characterize time-to-event outcomes such as disease onset or mortality in terms of a potentially high-dimensional set of risk factors. For example, prospective cohort studies of Alzheimer's disease…

As sounds carry rich information, environmental sound classification (ESC) is crucial for numerous applications such as rare wild animals detection. However, our world constantly changes, asking ESC models to adapt to new sounds…

Semiparametric accelerated failure time (AFT) models directly relate the predicted failure times to covariates and are a useful alternative to models that work on the hazard function or the survival function. For case-cohort data, much less…

This paper addresses the challenges of data privacy and collaborative modeling in cross-institution financial risk analysis. It proposes a risk assessment framework based on federated learning. Without sharing raw data, the method enables…

One component of precision medicine is to construct prediction models with their predictive ability as high as possible, e.g. to enable individual risk prediction. In genetic epidemiology, complex diseases have a polygenic basis and a…

Interactions between genes and environmental factors may play a key role in the etiology of many common disorders. Several regularized generalized linear models (GLMs) have been proposed for hierarchical selection of gene by environment…

In response to the growing need for generating real-world evidence from multi-site collaborative studies, we introduce an efficient collaborative learning approach to evaluate average treatment effect (ECO-ATE) in a multi-site setting under…

Motivated by the goal of expanding currently existing genotype x environment interaction (GxE) models to simultaneously include multiple genetic variants and environmental exposures in a parsimonious way, we developed a novel method to…

With the steady rise of the use of AI in bio-technical applications and the widespread adoption of genomics sequencing, an increasing amount of AI-based algorithms and tools is entering the research and production stage affecting critical…

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to generative modeling using a loss function based on elastic interaction energy (EIE), which is inspired by the elastic interaction between defects in crystals. The utilization of the EIE-based…

A daunting challenge faced by modern biological sciences is finding an efficient and computationally feasible approach to deal with the curse of high dimensionality. The problem becomes even more severe when the research focus is on…

The accelerated failure time (AFT) model is a commonly used tool in analyzing survival data. In public health studies, data is often collected from medical service providers in different locations. Survival rates from different locations…
