    Abstract Systems Biomedicine is a field in perpetual development. By definition a translational discipline, it emphasizes the role of quantitative systems approaches in biomedicine and aims to offer solutions to many emerging problems characterized by levels and types of complexity and uncertainty unmet before. Many factors, including technological and societal ones, need to be considered. In particular, new technologies are providing researchers with the data deluge whose management and exploitation requires a reinvention of cross-disciplinary team efforts. The advent of "omics" and high-content imaging are examples of advances de facto establishing the necessity of systems approaches. Hypothesis-driven models and in silico validation tools in support to all the varieties of experimental applications call for a profound revision. The focus on phases like mining and assimilating the data has substantially increased so to allow for interpretable knowledge to be inferred.-

    Notably, to be able to tackle the newly generated data dimensionality, heterogeneity and complexity, model-free and data-driven intensive applications are increasingly shaping the computational pipelines and architectures that quant specialists set aside of the high-throughput genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics platforms. As for the societal aspects, in many advanced societies health care needs now more than in the past to address the problem of managing ageing populations and their complex morbidity patterns. In parallel, there is a growing research interest on the impact that cross-disciplinary clinical, epidemiological and quantitative modelling studies can have in relation to outcomes potentially affecting the quality of life of many people. Complex systems, including those characterizing biomedicine, are assessed in both their functionality and stability, and also relatively to the capacity of generating information from diversity, variation, and complexity.-

    Due to the combined interactions and effects, such systems embed prediction power available for instance in both target identification or marker discovery, or more generally for conducting inference about patients' pathological states, i.e. normal versus disease, diagnostic or prognostic analysis, and preventive assessment (e.g., risk evaluation). The ultimate goal, personalized medicine, will be achieved based on the confluence of the system's predictive power to patient-specific profiling

    Abstract Spectral Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), also referred to as graph filters have gained increasing prevalence for heterophily graphs. Optimal graph filters rely on Laplacian eigendecomposition for Fourier transform. In an attempt to avert the prohibitive computations, numerous polynomial filters by leveraging distinct polynomials have been proposed to approximate the desired graph filters. However, polynomials in the majority of polynomial filters are predefined and remain fixed across all graphs, failing to accommodate the diverse heterophily degrees across different graphs. To tackle this issue, we first investigate the correlation between polynomial bases of desired graph filters and the degrees of graph heterophily via a thorough theoretical analysis. Afterward, we develop an adaptive heterophily basis by incorporating graph heterophily degrees. Subsequently, we integrate this heterophily basis with the homophily basis, creating a universal polynomial basis UniBasis. In consequence, we devise a general polynomial filter UniFilter. Comprehensive experiments on both real-world and synthetic datasets with varying heterophily degrees significantly support the superiority of UniFilter, demonstrating the effectiveness and generality of UniBasis, as well as its promising capability as a new method for graph analysis.

    Abstract In recent studies on MRI reconstruction, advances have shown significant promise for further accelerating the MRI acquisition. Most state-of-the-art methods require a large amount of fully-sampled data to optimise reconstruction models, which is impractical and expensive under certain clinical settings. On the other hand, for unsupervised scan-specific reconstruction methods, overfitting is likely to happen due to insufficient supervision, while restrictions on acceleration rates and under-sampling patterns further limit their applicability. To this end, we propose an unsupervised, adaptive coarse-to-fine framework that enhances reconstruction quality without being constrained by the sparsity levels or patterns in under-sampling. The framework employs an implicit neural representation for scan-specific MRI reconstruction, learning a mapping from multi-dimensional coordinates to their corresponding signal intensities. Moreover, we integrate a novel learning strategy that progressively refines the use of acquired k-space signals for self-supervision. This approach effectively adjusts the proportion of supervising signals from unevenly distributed information across different frequency bands, thus mitigating the issue of overfitting while improving the overall reconstruction. Comprehensive evaluation on a public dataset, including both 2D and 3D data, has shown that our method outperforms current state-of-the-art scan-specific MRI reconstruction techniques, for up to 8-fold under-sampling.

    Abstract Purpose: To develop an efficient dual-domain reconstruction framework for multi-contrast MRI, with the focus on minimising cross-contrast misalignment in both the image and the frequency domains to enhance optimisation. Theory and Methods: Our proposed framework, based on deep learning, facilitates the optimisation for under-sampled target contrast using fully-sampled reference contrast that is quicker to acquire. The method consists of three key steps: 1) Learning to synthesise data resembling the target contrast from the reference contrast; 2) Registering the multi-contrast data to reduce inter-scan motion; and 3) Utilising the registered data for reconstructing the target contrast. These steps involve learning in both domains with regularisation applied to ensure their consistency. We also compare the reconstruction performance with existing deep learning-based methods using a dataset of brain MRI scans. Results: Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our proposed framework, for up to an 8-fold acceleration rate, compared to state-of-the-art algorithms. Comprehensive analysis and ablation studies further present the effectiveness of the proposed components. Conclusion:Our dual-domain framework offers a promising approach to multi-contrast MRI reconstruction. It can also be integrated with existing methods to further enhance the reconstruction.

    Abstract We investigate the potential of graph neural networks for transfer learning and improving molecular property prediction on sparse and expensive to acquire high-fidelity data by leveraging low-fidelity measurements as an inexpensive proxy for a targeted property of interest. This problem arises in discovery processes that rely on screening funnels for trading off the overall costs against throughput and accuracy. Typically, individual stages in these processes are loosely connected and each one generates data at different scale and fidelity. We consider this setup holistically and demonstrate empirically that existing transfer learning techniques for graph neural networks are generally unable to harness the information from multi-fidelity cascades. Here, we propose several effective transfer learning strategies and study them in transductive and inductive settings. Our analysis involves a collection of more than 28 million unique experimental protein-ligand interactions across 37 targets from drug discovery by high-throughput screening and 12 quantum properties from the dataset QMugs. The results indicate that transfer learning can improve the performance on sparse tasks by up to eight times while using an order of magnitude less high-fidelity training data. Moreover, the proposed methods consistently outperform existing transfer learning strategies for graph-structured data on drug discovery and quantum mechanics datasets.

    Abstract High-throughput screening (HTS), as one of the key techniques in drug discovery, is frequently used to identify promising drug candidates in a largely automated and cost-effective way. One of the necessary conditions for successful HTS campaigns is a large and diverse compound library, enabling hundreds of thousands of activity measurements per project. Such collections of data hold great promise for computational and experimental drug discovery efforts, especially when leveraged in combination with modern deep learning techniques, and can potentially lead to improved drug activity predictions and cheaper and more effective experimental design. However, existing collections of machine-learning-ready public datasets do not exploit the multiple data modalities present in real-world HTS projects. Thus, the largest fraction of experimental measurements, corresponding to hundreds of thousands of "noisy" activity values from primary screening, are effectively ignored in the majority of machine learning models of HTS data. To address these limitations, we introduce Multifidelity PubChem BioAssay (MF-PCBA), a curated collection of 60 datasets that includes two data modalities for each dataset, corresponding to primary and confirmatory screening, an aspect that we call

    Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's impact millions of people worldwide. Early diagnosis has proven to greatly increase the chances of slowing down the diseases' progression. Correct diagnosis often relies on the analysis of large amounts of patient data, and thus lends itself well to support from machine learning algorithms, which are able to learn from past diagnosis and see clearly through the complex interactions of a patient's symptoms and data. Unfortunately, many contemporary machine learning techniques fail to reveal details about how they reach their conclusions, a property considered fundamental when providing a diagnosis. Here we introduce our Personalisable Clinical Decision Support System (PECLIDES), an algorithmic process formulated to address this specific fault in diagnosis detection. PECLIDES provides a clear insight into the decision-making process leading to a diagnosis, making it a gray box model. Our algorithm enriches the fundamental work of Masheyekhi and Gras in data integration, personal medicine, usability, visualization, and interactivity. Our decision support system is an operation of translational medicine. It is based on random forests, is personalisable and allows a clear insight into the decision-making process. A well-structured rule set is created and every rule of the decision-making process can be observed by the user (physician). Furthermore, the user has an impact on the creation of the final rule set and the algorithm allows the comparison of different diseases as well as regional differences in the same disease. The algorithm is applicable to various decision problems. In this paper we will evaluate it on diagnosing neurological diseases and therefore refer to the algorithm as PECLIDES Neuro.

    Abstract Super-resolution plays an essential role in medical imaging because it provides an alternative way to achieve high spatial resolutions and image quality with no extra acquisition costs. In the past few decades, the rapid development of deep neural networks has promoted super-resolution performance with novel network architectures, loss functions and evaluation metrics. Specifically, vision transformers dominate a broad range of computer vision tasks, but challenges still exist when applying them to low-level medical image processing tasks. This paper proposes an efficient vision transformer with residual dense connections and local feature fusion to achieve efficient single-image super-resolution (SISR) of medical modalities. Moreover, we implement a general-purpose perceptual loss with manual control for image quality improvements of desired aspects by incorporating prior knowledge of medical image segmentation. Compared with state-of-the-art methods on four public medical image datasets, the proposed method achieves the best PSNR scores of 6 modalities among seven modalities. It leads to an average improvement of $+0.09$ dB PSNR with only 38\% parameters of SwinIR. On the other hand, the segmentation-based perceptual loss increases $+0.14$ dB PSNR on average for SOTA methods, including CNNs and vision transformers. Additionally, we conduct comprehensive ablation studies to discuss potential factors for the superior performance of vision transformers over CNNs and the impacts of network and loss function components. The code will be released on GitHub with the paper published.

    Abstract Graphs are a natural representation of brain activity derived from functional magnetic imaging (fMRI) data. It is well known that clusters of anatomical brain regions, known as functional connectivity networks (FCNs), encode temporal relationships which can serve as useful biomarkers for understanding brain function and dysfunction. Previous works, however, ignore the temporal dynamics of the brain and focus on static graphs. In this paper, we propose a dynamic brain graph deep generative model (DBGDGM) which simultaneously clusters brain regions into temporally evolving communities and learns dynamic unsupervised node embeddings. Specifically, DBGDGM represents brain graph nodes as embeddings sampled from a distribution over communities that evolve over time. We parameterise this community distribution using neural networks that learn from subject and node embeddings as well as past community assignments. Experiments demonstrate DBGDGM outperforms baselines in graph generation, dynamic link prediction, and is comparable for graph classification. Finally, an analysis of the learnt community distributions reveals overlap with known FCNs reported in neuroscience literature.
