Motivation Inferring the structure of gene regulatory networks from high-throughput datasets remains an important and unsolved problem. Current methods are hampered by problems such as noise, low sample size, and incomplete characterizations of regulatory dynamics, leading to networks with missing and anomalous links. Integration of prior network information (e.g. from pathway databases) has the potential to improve reconstructions. Results We developed a semi-supervised network…

Experimental Guidance for Discovering Genetic Networks through Iterative Hypothesis Reduction on Time Series
TLDR
This work introduces an approach of iterative network hypothesis reduction from time-series data in which increasingly complex features of the dynamic expression of individual, pairs, and entire collections of genes are used to infer functional network models that can produce the observed transcriptional program.
Emerging landscape of molecular interaction networks: Opportunities, challenges and prospects
TLDR
This review has reviewed the methods that utilize network topological properties, emerging hybrid network-based approaches and applications that integrate machine learning techniques to analyse molecular interaction networks, and discussed the applications of these approaches in biomedical research.
Improving glomerular filtration rate estimation by semi-supervised learning: a development and external validation study
TLDR
The hypothesis that semi-supervised learning technology could improve glomerular filtration rate estimation performance is supported by head-to-head comparisons and consistently achieved superior results in all three performance indicators compared with corresponding revised CKD-EPI equations in the external validation data set.
Statistical methods for the network-based analysis of genomic data
TLDR
This paper presents statistical methods for the network-Based Analysis of Genomic Data that show clear trends in the number of hits on the ULTIMATE sequences over time and in the strength of the relationships between these hits and the values in the data.
Time-lagged Ordered Lasso for network inference
TLDR
A semi-supervised method that embeds prior network information into the Ordered Lasso to discover novel regulatory dependencies in existing pathways is developed and evaluated on simulated data for a repressilator, time-course data from past DREAM challenges, and a HeLa cell cycle dataset to show that they can produce accurate networks subject to the dynamics and assumptions of the time-lagged Ordering Lasso regression.

Regularization and Noise Injection for Improving Genetic Network Models
TLDR
This chapter presents an approach that can provide rough estimates of the underlying genetic network based on limited time-course gene expression data by employing the fact that gene expression measurements are relatively noisy and genetic networks are thought to be robust.
