ABSTRACT
Integration analysis of cancer multi-omics data for pan-cancer classification has the potential for clinical applications in various aspects such as tumor diagnosis, analyzing clinically significant features, and providing precision medicine. In these applications, the embedding and feature selection on high-dimensional multi-omics data is clinically necessary. Recently, deep learning algorithms become the most promising cancer multi-omic integration analysis methods, due to the powerful capability of capturing nonlinear relationships. Developing effective deep learning architectures for cancer multi-omics embedding and feature selection remains a challenge for researchers in view of high dimensionality and heterogeneity. In this paper, we propose a novel two-phase deep learning model named AVBAE-MODFR for pan-cancer classification. AVBAE-MODFR achieves embedding by a multi2multi autoencoder based on the adversarial variational Bayes method and further performs feature selection utilizing a dual-net-based feature ranking method. AVBAE-MODFR utilizes AVBAE to pre-train the network parameters, which improves the classification performance and enhances feature ranking stability in MODFR. Firstly, AVBAE learns high-quality representation among multiple omics features for unsupervised pan-cancer classification. We design an efficient discriminator architecture to distinguish the latent distributions for updating forward variational parameters. Secondly, we propose MODFR to simultaneously evaluate multi-omics feature importance for feature selection by training a designed multi2one selector network, where the efficient evaluation approach based on the average gradient of random mask subsets can avoid bias caused by input feature drift. We conduct experiments on the TCGA pan-cancer dataset and compare it with four state-of-the-art methods for each phase. The results show the superiority of AVBAE-MODFR over SOTA methods.
