    Dice: Deep Significance Clustering

    DICE: DEEP SIGNIFICANCE CLUSTERING FOR OUTCOME-AWARE STRATIFICATION Yufang Huang Kelly M. Axsom John Lee Cornell University Columbia University Irving Medical Center Weill Cornell Medicine [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Lakshminarayanan Subramanian Yiye Zhang New York University Cornell University [email protected] [email protected] January 8, 2021 ABSTRACT We present deep significance clustering (DICE), a framework for jointly performing representation learning and clustering for “outcome-aware” stratification. DICE is intended to generate cluster membership that may be used to categorize a population by individual risk level for a targeted outcome. Following the representation learning and clustering steps, we embed the objective function in DICE with a constraint which requires a statistically significant association between the outcome and cluster membership of learned representations. DICE further includes a neural architecture search step to maximize both the likelihood of representation learning and outcome classification accuracy with cluster membership as the predictor. To demonstrate its utility in medicine for patient risk-stratification, the performance of DICE was evaluated using two datasets with different outcome ratios extracted from real-world electronic health records. Outcomes are defined as acute kidney injury (30.4%) among a cohort of COVID-19 patients, and discharge disposition (36.8%) among a cohort of heart failure patients, respectively. Extensive results demonstrate that

Opposite page: Scenes from the “virtual 5K.” And they did it all online. For the first time since World War II, Reunion wasn’t held far above Cayuga’s waters. Following the University’s transition to remote instruction and the postponement of Commencement due to the coronavirus pandemic, Alumni Affairs announced in late March that this year’s gathering would be virtual. “Initially there was some skepticism, particularly from those who had experienced an in-person Reunion,” notes Kate Freyer, director of Reunion and volunteer engage­ ment events. “It was hard to imagine those connections feeling the same way over a screen.” But by the end of the weekend, she says, the feedback was overwhelm­ ingly positive—and thanks to the virtual format, many alumni who wouldn’t have been able to travel to Ithaca for logistical or health reasons were able to participate. “While Cornellians certainly missed campus, I think this experience opened a lot of people’s eyes to the idea that connecting isn’t just in a place,” Freyer says.

    Your guide to resources that support all the dimensions of your wellbeing. HR.CORNELL.EDU/WELLBEING 1 2 1.6.20 Dear Colleague, During your time with Cornell, we want you to be well and THRIVE. Cornell invests in benefits, programs, and services to support employee wellbeing. This guide features a wide range of university (and many community!) resources available to support you in various dimensions of your wellbeing. As you browse this guide, which is organized around Cornell’s Seven Dimensions of Wellbeing model pictured below, you’ll find many resources cross-referenced in multiple dimensions. This illustrates the multifaceted nature of wellbeing. It is often non-linear in nature, and our most important elements shift as our work and Mary Opperman personal lives evolve. CHRO and Vice President Division of Human Resources We experience wellbeing both personally and as members of our various communities, including our work community. We each have opportunities to positively contribute to Cornell’s culture of wellbeing as we celebrate our colleagues’ life events, support one another during difficult times, share resources, and find creative approaches to how, where, and when work gets done. Behind this page is a “quick start directory” of Cornell wellbeing-related contacts. Please save this page and reach out any time you need assistance! Although some of these resources are specific to Cornell’s Ithaca campus, we recognize and are continuing to focus on expanding offerings to our employees in all locations. Thank you for all of your contributions

    CODE-AE: A COHERENT DE-CONFOUNDING AUTOENCODER FOR PREDICTING PATIENT-SPECIFIC DRUG RESPONSE FROM CELL LINE TRANSCRIPTOMICS Di He Lei Xie∗ PhD program in Computer Science Department of Computer Science Graduate Center, City University of New York Hunter College, City University of New York New York City, 10016, USA New York City, 10065, USA [email protected] [email protected] February 2, 2021 ABSTRACT Accurate and robust prediction of patient’s response to drug treatments is critical for developing precision medicine. However, it is often difficult to obtain a sufficient amount of coherent drug response data from patients directly for training a generalized machine learning model. Although the utilization of rich cell line data provides an alternative solution, it is challenging to transfer the knowledge obtained from cell lines to patients due to various confounding factors. Few existing transfer learning methods can reliably disentangle common intrinsic biological signals from confounding factors in the cell line and patient data. In this paper, we develop a Coherent Deconfounding Autoencoder (CODE-AE) that can extract both common biological signals shared by incoherent samples and private representations unique to each data set, transfer knowledge learned from cell line data to tissue data, and separate confounding factors from them. Extensive studies on multiple data sets demonstrate that CODE-AE significantly improves the accuracy and robustness over state-of-the-art methods in both predicting patient drug response and de- confounding biological signals. Thus, CODE-AE provides a useful framework to take advantage of in vitro omics data for developing generalized patient predictive models.
