- Modern profiling technologies enable obtaining large amounts of data which can be later used for comprehensive understanding of the studied system. Proper evaluation of such data is challenging, and cannot be faced by bare analysis of separate datasets. Integrated approaches are necessary, because only data integration allows finding correlation trends common for all studied data sets and revealing hidden structures not known a priori. This improves understanding and interpretation of the complex systems. Joint and Unique MultiBlock Analysis (JUMBA) is an analysis method based on the OnPLS-algorithm that decomposes a set of matrices into joint parts containing variation shared with other connected matrices and variation that is unique for each single matrix. Mapping unique variation is important from a data integration perspective, since it certainly cannot be expected that all variation co-varies. In this work we used JUMBA for integrated analysis of lipidomic, metabolomic and oxylipin datasets obtained from profiling of plasma samples from children infected with P. falciparum malaria. P. falciparum is one of the primary contributors to childhood mortality and obstetric complications in the developing world, what makes development of the new diagnostic and prognostic tools, as well as better understanding of the disease, of utmost importance. In presented work JUMBA made it possible to detect already known trends related to disease progression, but also to discover new structures in the data connected to food intake and personal differences in metabolism. By separating the variation in each data set into joint and unique, JUMBA reduced complexity of the analysis, facilitated detection of samples and variables corresponding to specific structures across multiple datasets and by doing this enabled fast interpretation of the studied system. All this makes JUMBA a perfect choice for multiblock analysis of systems biology data.

- Light microscopy combined with well-established protocols of two-dimensional cell culture facilitates high-throughput quantitative imaging to study biological phenomena. Accurate segmentation of individual cells in images enables exploration of complex biological questions, but can require sophisticated imaging processing pipelines in cases of low contrast and high object density. Deep learning-based methods are considered state-of-the-art for image segmentation but typically require vast amounts of annotated data, for which there is no suitable resource available in the field of label-free cellular imaging. Here, we present LIVECell, a large, high-quality, manually annotated and expert-validated dataset of phase-contrast images, consisting of over 1.6 million cells from a diverse set of cell morphologies and culture densities. To further demonstrate its use, we train convolutional neural network-based models using LIVECell and evaluate model segmentation accuracy with a proposed a suite of benchmarks.

- With the evolution of deep learning in the past decade, more biomedical related problems that seemed strenuous, are now feasible. The introduction of U-net and Mask R-CNN architectures has paved a way for many object detection and segmentation tasks in numerous applications ranging from security to biomedical applications. In the cell biology domain, light microscopy imaging provides a cheap and accessible source of raw data to study biological phenomena. By leveraging such data and deep learning techniques, human diseases can be easily diagnosed and the process of treatment development can be greatly expedited. In microscopic imaging, accurate segmentation of individual cells is a crucial step to allow better insight into cellular heterogeneity. To address the aforementioned challenges, DeepCeNS is proposed in this paper to detect and segment cells and nucleus in microscopic images. We have used EVICAN2 dataset which contains microscopic images from a variety of microscopes having numerous cell cultures, to evaluate the proposed pipeline. DeepCeNS outperforms EVICAN-MRCNN by a significant margin on the EVICAN2 dataset.

- Accurate cell segmentation in microscopic images is a useful tool to analyze individual cell behavior, which helps to diagnose human diseases and development of new treatments. Cell segmentation of individual cells in a microscopic image with many cells in view allows quantification of single cellular features, such as shape or movement patterns, providing rich insight into cellular heterogeneity. Most of the cell segmentation algorithms up till now focus on segmenting cells in the images without classifying the culture of the cell in the images. Discrimination among cell types in microscopic images can lead to a new era of high-throughput cell microscopy. Multiple cell types in co-culture can be easily identified and studying the changes in cell morphology can lead to many applications such as drug treatment. To address this gap, DeepCIS is proposed to detect, segment, and classify the culture of the cells and nucleus in the microscopic images. We have used the EVICAN60 dataset which contains microscopic images from a variety of microscopes having numerous cell cultures, to evaluate the proposed pipeline. To further demonstrate the utility of the DeepCIS, we have designed various experimental settings to uncover its learning potential. We have achieved a mean average precision score of 24.37% for the segmentation task averaged over 30 classes for cell and nucleus.

- Discrimination between cell types in the co-culture environment with multiple cell lines can assist in examining the interaction between different cell populations. Identifying different cell cultures in addition to cell segmentation in co-culture is essential for understanding the cellular mechanisms associated with disease states. In drug development, biologists are more interested in co-culture models because they replicate the tumor environment in vivo better than the monoculture models. Additionally, they have a measurable effect on cancer cell response to treatment. Co-culture models are critical for designing a drug with maximum efficacy on cancer while minimizing harm to the rest of the body. In the past, there existed minimal progress related to cell-type aware segmentation in the monoculture and no development whatsoever for the co-culture. The introduction of the LIVECell dataset has allowed us to perform experiments for cell-type-aware segmentation. However, it is composed of microscopic images in a monoculture environment. This paper presents a framework for co-culture microscopic image data generation, where each image can contain multiple cell cultures. The framework also presents a pipeline for culture-dependent cell segmentation in co-culture microscopic images. The extensive evaluation revealed that it is possible to achieve cell-type aware segmentation in co-culture microscopic images with good precision.

- Identifying cells in microscopic images is a crucial step toward studying image-based cell biology research. Cell instance segmentation provides an opportunity to study the shape, structure, form, and size of cells. Deep learning approaches for cell instance segmentation rely on the instance segmentation mask for each cell, which is a labor-intensive and expensive task. An ample amount of unlabeled microscopic data is available in the cell biology domain, but due to the tedious and exorbitant nature of the annotations needed for the cell instance segmentation approaches, the full potential of the data is not explored. This paper presents a weakly supervised approach, which can perform cell instance segmentation by using only point and bounding box-based annotation. This enormously reduces the annotation efforts. The proposed approach is evaluated on a benchmark dataset i.e., LIVECell, whereby only using a bounding box and randomly generated points on each cell, it achieved the mean average precision score of 43.53% which is as good as the full supervised segmentation method trained with complete segmentation mask. In addition, it is 3.71 times faster to annotate with a bounding box and point in comparison to full mask annotation.

A geographically matched control population efficiently limits the number of candidate disease-causing variants in an unbiased whole-genome analysis

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Whole-genome sequencing is a promising approach for human autosomal dominant disease studies. However, the vast number of genetic variants observed by this method constitutes a challenge when trying to identify the causal variants. This is often handled by restricting disease studies to the most damaging variants, e. g. those found in coding regions, and overlooking the remaining genetic variation. Such a biased approach explains in part why the genetic causes of many families with dominantly inherited diseases, in spite of being included in whole-genome sequencing studies, are left unsolved today. Here we explore the use of a geographically matched control population to minimize the number of candidate disease-causing variants without excluding variants based on assumptions on genomic position or functional predictions. To exemplify the benefit of the geographically matched control population we apply a typical disease variant filtering strategy in a family with an autosomal dominant form of colorectal cancer. With the use of the geographically matched control population we end up with 26 candidate variants genome wide. This is in contrast to the tens of thousands of candidates left when only making use of available public variant datasets. The effect of the local control population is dual, it (1) reduces the total number of candidate variants shared between affected individuals, and more importantly (2) increases the rate by which the number of candidate variants are reduced as additional affected family members are included in the filtering strategy. We demonstrate that the application of a geographically matched control population effectively limits the number of candidate disease-causing variants and may provide the means by which variants suitable for functional studies are identified genome wide.

- Patents are an important source of technological knowledge, but the amount of existing patents is vast and quickly growing. This makes development of tools and methodologies for quickly revealing patterns in patent collections important. In this paper, we describe how structured chemometric principles of multivariate data analysis can be applied in the context of text analysis in a novel combination with common machine learning preprocessing methodologies. We demonstrate our methodology in 2 case studies. Using principal component analysis (PCA) on a collection of 12338 patent abstracts from 25 companies in big pharma revealed sub-fields which the companies are active in. Using PCA on a smaller collection of patents retrieved by searching for a specific term proved useful to quickly understand how patent classifications relate to the search term. By using orthogonal projections to latent structures (O-PLS) on patent classification schemes, we were able to separate patents on a more detailed level than using PCA. Lastly, we performed multi-block modeling using OnPLS on bag-of-words representations of abstracts, claims, and detailed descriptions, respectively, showing that semantic variation relating to patent classification is consistent across multiple text blocks, represented as globally joint variation. We conclude that using machine learning to transform unstructured data into structured data provide a good preprocessing tool for subsequent chemometric multivariate data analysis and provides an easily interpretable and novel workflow to understand large collections of patents. We demonstrate this on collections of chemical and pharmaceutical patents.

Synergies between Chemometrics and Machine Learning
- 2021

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Thanks to digitization and automation, data in all shapes and forms are generated in ever-growing quantities throughout society, industry and science. Data-driven methods, such as machine learning algorithms, are already widely used to benefit from all these data in all kinds of applications, ranging from text suggestion in smartphones to process monitoring in industry. To ensure maximal benefit to society, we need workflows to generate, analyze and model data that are performant as well as robust and trustworthy.There are several scientific disciplines aiming to develop data-driven methodologies, two of which are machine learning and chemometrics. Machine learning is part of artificial intelligence and develops algorithms that learn from data. Chemometrics, on the other hand, is a subfield of chemistry aiming to generate and analyze complex chemical data in an optimal manner. There is already a certain overlap between the two fields where machine learning algorithms are used for predictive modelling within chemometrics. Although, since both fields aims to increase value of data and have disparate backgrounds, there are plenty of possible synergies to benefit both fields. Thanks to its wide applicability, there are many tools and lessons learned within machine learning that goes beyond the predictive models that are used within chemometrics today. On the other hand, chemometrics has always been application-oriented and this pragmatism has made it widely used for quality assurance within regulated industries. This thesis serves to nuance the relationship between the two fields and show that knowledge in either field can be used to benefit the other. We explore how tools widely used in applied machine learning can help chemometrics break new ground in a case study of text analysis of patents in Paper I. We then draw inspiration from chemometrics and show how principles of experimental design can help us optimize large-scale data processing pipelines in Paper II and how a method common in chemometrics can be adapted to allow artificial neural networks detect outlier observations in Paper III. We then show how experimental design principles can be used to ensure quality in the core of concurrent machine learning, namely generation of large-scale datasets in Paper IV. Lastly, we outline directions for future research and how state-of-the-art research in machine learning can benefit chemometric method development.
