解决小样本非配对多组学数据整合难题,适合罕见病研究。
MODIS: Multi-Omics Data Integration for Small and unpaired datasets
- 用大数据库+小目标数据联合训练,缓解样本少问题。
- 在10~34类癌症与正常组织上实现高精度预测。
- 抗类别不平衡,适合稀有疾病等小样本场景。
计算生物学中高效整合多组学数据是重要目标。然而,多组学数据常为非配对(需对角整合)、部分标注且在罕见病等场景下仅含极少量样本。我们提出MODIS,一种半监督框架,以应对这些挑战。针对小样本问题,通过在大型参考数据库和小型目标数据集上联合训练模型,将挑战转化为类别不平衡学习问题。MODIS实现非配对样本的对角整合,利用标签信息对齐模态,克服类别不平衡与数据稀缺。架构结合多个变分自编码器、分类器及对抗训练的模态分类器,并采用正则化相对生成对抗网络损失以确保训练稳定。首先在合成数据上验证,评估所需监督程度及类别不平衡对性能影响;随后应用于TCGA公共数据库,涵盖10至34类(癌症类型与正常组织)。MODIS表现出高预测准确率、有限监督下的稳健性能以及对类别不平衡的鲁棒性。结果表明,MODIS是处理小样本对角整合任务的有力方案,尤其适用于罕见病研究。代码已开源:https://github.com/VILLOUTREIXLab/MODIS。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
An important objective in computational biology is the efficient integration of multi-omics data. The task of integration comes with challenges: multi-omics data are most often unpaired (requiring diagonal integration), partially labeled with information about biological conditions, and in some situations such as rare diseases, only very small datasets are available. We present MODIS, a semi supervised framework designed to account for these particular challenges. To address the challenge of very small datasets, we propose to exploit the information contained in larger multi-omics databases by training our model on a large reference database and a small target dataset simultaneously, effectively turning the challenge into a problem of learning with class imbalance. MODIS performs diagonal integration on unpaired samples, leveraging class-labels to align modalities despite class imbalance and data scarcity. The architecture combines multiple variational auto-encoders, a class classifier and an adversarially trained modality classifier. To ensure training stability, we adapted a regularized relativistic GAN loss to this setting. We first validate MODIS on a synthetic dataset to assess the level of supervision needed for accurate alignment and to quantify the impact of class imbalance on predictive performance. We then apply our approach to the large public TCGA database, considering between 10 and 34 classes (cancer types and normal tissue). MODIS demonstrates high prediction accuracy, robust performance with limited supervision, and stability to class imbalance. These results position MODIS as a promising solution for challenging integration scenarios, particularly diagonal integration with a small number of samples, typical of rare diseases studies.
