What is your question?• What are the targets genes for my knock-out gene?• Look for genes that have different time profiles between different cell types.
Gene discovery, differential expression
• Is a specified group of genes all up-regulated in a specified conditions?Gene set, differential expression
• Can I use the expression profile of cancer patients to predict survival?• Identification of groups of genes that predictive of a particular class of tumors?
Class prediction, classification
• Are there tumor sub-types not previously identified? • Are there groups of co-expressed genes?
Class discovery, clustering
• Detection of gene regulatory mechanisms. • Do my genes group into previously undiscovered pathways?
Clustering. Often expression data alone is not enough, need to incorporate sequence and other information

Objects
Basic principles of discrimination•Each object associated with a class label (or response) Y {1, 2, …, K} and a feature vector (vector of predictor variables) of G measurements: X = (X1, …, XG)
Aim: predict Y from X.

Example: A Classification Problem
• Categorize images of fish—say, “Atlantic salmon” vs. “Pacific salmon”
• Use features such as length, width, lightness, fin shape & number, mouth position, etc.
• Steps1. Preprocessing (e.g., background
subtraction)2. Feature extraction 3. Classification

Classification Techniques

11
Instance Based LearningKey idea: just store all training examples <xi,f(xi)>
Nearest neighbor:• Given query instance xq, first locate nearest
training example xn, then estimate f(xq)=f(xn)
K-nearest neighbor:
• Given xq, take vote among its k nearest neighbors (if discrete-valued target function)
• Take mean of f values of k nearest neighbors (if
real-valued) f(xq)=i=1k f(xi)/k
12
K-Nearest Neighbor
• A lazy learner …
• Issues: – How many neighbors?– What similarity measure?
13
Which similarity or dissimilarity measure?
• A metric is a measure of the similarity or dissimilarity between two data objects
• Two main classes of metric:– Correlation coefficients (similarity)
• Compares shape of expression curves• Types of correlation:
– Centered.– Un-centered.– Rank-correlation
– Distance metrics (dissimilarity)• City Block (Manhattan) distance• Euclidean distance
14
• Pearson Correlation Coefficient (centered correlation)
Sx = Standard deviation of x
Sy = Standard deviation of y

Correlation (a measure between -1 and 1)
Positive correlation Negative correlation
You can use absolute correlation to capture both positive and negative correlation
15
Potential pitfalls
Correlation = 1
16
Distance metrics• City Block (Manhattan)
distance:– Sum of differences across
dimensions– Less sensitive to outliers – Diamond shaped clusters
• Euclidean distance:– Most commonly used
distance– Sphere shaped cluster– Corresponds to the
geometric distance into the multidimensional space

When to Consider Nearest Neighbors
• Instances map to points in RN
• Less than 20 attributes per instance• Lots of training data
Advantages:• Training is very fast • Learn complex target functions• Do not loose information
Disadvantages:• Slow at query time • Easily fooled by irrelevant attributes

Nearest Neighbor
• Approximate the target function f(x) at the single query point x = xq
• Locally weighted regression = generalization of IBL
26
Curse of DimensionalityImagine instances are described by 20 attributes but only 10 are
relevant to target function
Curse of dimensionality: nearest neighbor is easily misled when the instance space is high-dimensional
One approach: weight the features according to their relevance!
• Stretch j-th axis by weight zj, where z1,…,zn chosen to minimize prediction error
• Use cross-validation to automatically choose weights z1,…,zn
• Note setting zj to zero eliminates this dimension alltogether (feature subset selection)
27
Practical implementations
• Weka – IBk
• Optimized – Timbl
28
Example: Tumor Classification
• Reliable and precise classification essential for successful cancer treatment
• Current methods for classifying human malignancies rely on a variety of morphological, clinical and molecular variables
• Uncertainties in diagnosis remain; likely that existing classes are heterogeneous
• Characterize molecular variations among tumors by monitoring gene expression (microarray)
• Hope: that microarrays will lead to more reliable tumor classification (and therefore more appropriate treatments and better outcomes)
29
Tumor Classification Using Gene Expression Data
Three main types of ML problems associated with tumor classification:
• Identification of new/unknown tumor classes using gene expression profiles (unsupervised learning – clustering)
• Classification of malignancies into known classes (supervised learning – discrimination)
• Identification of “marker” genes that characterize the different tumor classes (feature or variable selection).

SVM• SVMs were originally proposed by Boser, Guyon and Vapnik
in 1992 and gained increasing popularity in late 1990s.• SVMs are currently among the best performers for a number
of classification tasks ranging from text to genomic data.• SVM techniques have been extended to a number of tasks
such as regression [Vapnik et al. ’97], principal component analysis [Schölkopf et al. ’99], etc.
• Most popular optimization algorithms for SVMs are SMO [Platt ’99] and SVMlight
[Joachims’ 99], both use decomposition to hill-climb over a subset of αi’s at a time.
• Tuning SVMs remains a black art: selecting a specific kernel and parameters is usually done in a try-and-see manner.
33
SVM
• In order to discriminate between two classes, given a training dataset– Map the data to a higher dimension
space (feature space)
– Separate the two classes using an optimal linear separator
34
Feature Space Mapping• Map the original data to some higher-
dimensional feature space where the training set is linearly separable:
Φ: x → φ(x)
35
The “Kernel Trick”• The linear classifier relies on inner product between vectors K(xi,xj)=xi
Txj
• If every datapoint is mapped into high-dimensional space via some transformation Φ: x → φ(x), the inner product becomes:
K(xi,xj)= φ(xi) Tφ(xj)
• A kernel function is some function that corresponds to an inner product in some expanded feature space.
• Example:
2-dimensional vectors x=[x1 x2]; let K(xi,xj)=(1 + xiTxj)2
,
Need to show that K(xi,xj)= φ(xi) Tφ(xj):
K(xi,xj)=(1 + xiTxj)2
,= 1+ xi12xj1
2 + 2 xi1xj1 xi2xj2+ xi2
2xj22 + 2xi1xj1 + 2xi2xj2=
= [1 xi12 √2 xi1xi2 xi2
2 √2xi1 √2xi2]T [1 xj12 √2 xj1xj2 xj2
2 √2xj1 √2xj2] =
= φ(xi) Tφ(xj), where φ(x) = [1 x1
2 √2 x1x2 x22 √2x1 √2x2]

Soft Margin Classification • What if the training set is not linearly separable?
• Slack variables ξi can be added to allow misclassification of difficult or noisy examples.

Influence of C
Erroneous objects can still have a (large) influence on the solution

SVM
• Advantages:– maximize the margin between two classes in the
feature space characterized by a kernel function– are robust with respect to high input dimension
• Disadvantages:– difficult to incorporate background knowledge– Sensitive to outliers
