Deep neural networks often achieve high predictive accuracy on biological problems, but it can be hard to contextualize how and explain why predictions are made. In this issue, Kuenzi et al. model the sensitivity of cancers to drugs using deep neural networks with a hierarchical structure derived from the Gene Ontology.
深度神经网络在生物学问题上经常能达到很高的预测准确率，但很难理解其是如何做出预测的，也很难解释原因。在本期杂志中，Kuenzi 等人使用一种具有层次结构的深度神经网络模型来模拟癌症对药物的敏感性，该模型的层次结构来源于基因本体论。
