Multiple types of omics data contain a wealth of biomedical information which reflect different aspects of clinical samples. Multi-omics integrated analysis is more likely to lead to more accurate clinical decisions. Existing cancer diagnostic methods based on multi-omics data integration mainly focus on the classification accuracy of the model, while neglecting the interpretability of the internal mechanism and the reliability of the results, which are crucial in specific domains such as precision medicine and the life sciences. To overcome this limitation, we propose a trustworthy multi-omics dynamic learning framework (TMODINET) for cancer diagnostic. The framework employs multi-omics adaptive dynamic learning to process each sample to provide patient-centered personality diagnosis by using self-attentional learning of features and modalities. To characterize the correlation between samples well, we introduce a graph dynamic learning method which can adaptively adjust the graph structure according to the specific classification results for specific graph convolutional networks (GCN) learning. Moreover, we utilize an uncertainty mechanism by employing Dirichlet distribution and Dempster-Shafer theory to obtain uncertainty and integrate multi-omics data at the decision level, ensuring trustworthy for cancer diagnosis. Extensive experiments on four real-world multimodal medical datasets are conducted. Compared to state-of-the-art methods, the superior performance and trustworthiness of our proposed algorithm are clearly validated. Our model has great potential for clinical diagnosis.
多种类型的组学数据包含丰富的生物医学信息,这些信息反映了临床样本的不同方面。多组学综合分析更有可能带来更准确的临床决策。现有的基于多组学数据整合的癌症诊断方法主要侧重于模型的分类准确性,而忽略了内部机制的可解释性和结果的可靠性,而这在精准医学和生命科学等特定领域至关重要。为了克服这一局限性,我们提出了一种用于癌症诊断的可信多组学动态学习框架(TMODINET)。该框架采用多组学自适应动态学习来处理每个样本,通过对特征和模态的自注意力学习提供以患者为中心的个性化诊断。为了很好地表征样本之间的相关性,我们引入了一种图动态学习方法,该方法可以根据特定图卷积网络(GCN)学习的特定分类结果自适应地调整图结构。此外,我们通过采用狄利克雷分布和邓普斯特 - 谢弗理论利用不确定性机制来获得不确定性并在决策层面整合多组学数据,确保癌症诊断的可信度。我们在四个真实世界的多模态医学数据集上进行了广泛的实验。与现有方法相比,我们提出的算法的卓越性能和可信度得到了明显验证。我们的模型在临床诊断方面具有巨大潜力。
