Gene network inference by fusing data from diverse distributions

We present FUSENET, a Markov network formulation that infers networks from a collection of nonidentically distributed datasets. Our approach is computationally efficient and general: given any number of distributions from an exponential family, FUSENET represents model parameters through shared latent factors that define neighborhoods of network nodes.

Small network completion using frequent subnetworks

Prediction of missing or potential links and edges is currently the central theme in network analysis. We define a problem of small network completion, which deals with sets of small networks, possibly with no recorded temporal dynamics. This problem requires a different set of methods and evaluation procedures. We present a method named Hyspan that extracts frequent patterns from small networks and uses them to predict missing vertices and edges in new networks.

Data fusion by matrix factorization

In the paper we describe a data fusion approach with penalized matrix tri-factorization (DFMF) that simultaneously factorizes data matrices to reveal hidden associations. The approach can directly consider any data that can be expressed in a matrix, including those from feature-based representations, ontologies, associations and networks.
