Numerous methods have been proposed to address this by mapping high-dimensional inputs to informative low-dimensional representations. One such dimensionality reduction method is the variational autoencoder (VAE), which attempts to learn the probability distribution of given data through a low-dimensional latent variable, and has been shown to competitively separate cell types and to characterize functional differences of cell state1. In this talk, we present our preliminary results implementing a novel VAE model that incorporates prior knowledge through a VNN to create low-dimensional cell-state representations using bulk and single-cell RNA expression features. We hypothesize that this will reduce model complexity (number of parameters) while maintaining or improving model performance and creating a biologically relevant low-dimensional representation of sequencing data. Successful execution of this research will provide an interpretable and informative deep learning dimensionality reduction algorithm. This work was originally motivated by challenges in precision oncology, but may have application in many biological domains. 000009207 540__ $$fCC BY 000009207 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000009207 650__ $$aDeep Learning$$012734 000009207 650__ $$aMultifactor Dimensionality Reduction$$039067 000009207 650__ $$aHigh-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing$$039471 000009207 650__ $$aPrecision Medicine$$038927 000009207 650__ $$aMedical Oncology$$021943 000009207 6531_ $$aoncology 000009207 6531_ $$avariational autoencoder 000009207 6531_ $$apersonalized medicine 000009207 6531_ $$avisible neutral network model 000009207 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009207 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000009207 692__ $$aOHSU Knight Cancer Institute$$041488 000009207 7001_ $$aEvans, Nathaniel$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009207 7001_ $$aMcWeeney, Shannon$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009207 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2021 000009207 8564_ $$9c55c2337-4b05-4c55-a8ac-52e44a4b523b$$s108490$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9207/files/Evans-Nathaniel-OHSU-ResearchWeek-2021.pdf 000009207 905__ $$a/rest/prod/p5/54/7s/25/p5547s25x 000009207 980__ $$aResearch Week
