Bayesian Machine learning and its application Alan Qi Feb. 23, 2009
Motivation • massive data from various sources: web pages, facebook, high-throughput biological data, high-throughput chemical data, etc. • Challenging goal: how to model complex systems and extract knowledge from data.
Bayesian machine learning • Bayesian learning method Principled way to fuse prior knowledge and new evidence in data • Key issues • Model Design • Computation • Wide-range applications
Bayesian learning in practice • Applications: • Recommendation systems (Amazon, NetFlix) • Text Parsing (Finding latent topics in documents) • Systems biology (where computations meets biology) • Computer vision (parsing handwritten diagram automatically) • Wireless communications • Computational finance ....
Protein, product of Gene B DNA Learning for biology: understanding gene regulation during organism development • Learning functionalities of genes for development • Inferring high-resolution protein-DNA binding locations from low-resolution measurement Gene A • Learning regulatory cascades during embryonic stem cell development
Data: gene expression profiles from wide-types & mutants No C lineage Wild-type lineage Extra ‘C’ lineages (Baugh et al, 2005)
Graph-based kernels (F. Chung, 1997, Zhu et al., 2003, Zhou et al. 2004) • Gaussian process classifier that is trained by EP and classifies the whole genome efficiently • Estimating noise and probe quality by approximate leave-one-out error Classifier Bayesian semisupervised classification for finding tissue-specific genes Labeled expression BGEN: (Bayesian GENeralization from examples, Qi et al., Bioinformatics 2006) Gene expression Labeled expression

Bayesian learning: Estimating motif models by Gibbs sampling P(Sequences|params1,params2) Parameter1 Parameter2 In theory, Gibbs Sampling less likely to get stuck a local maxima
Bayesian learning: Estimating motif models by expectation maximization P(Sequences|params1,params2) Parameter1 Parameter2 To minimize the effects of local maxima, you should search multiple times from different starting points

Visualizing Motifs – Motif Logos Represent both base frequency and conservation at each position Height of letter proportional to frequency of base at that position Height of stack proportional to conservation at that position
Software implemenation: AlignACE • Implements Gibbs sampling for motif discovery • Several enhancements • ScanAce – look for motifs in a sequence given a model • CompareAce – calculate “similarity” between two motifs (i.e. for clustering motifs) http://atlas.med.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/alignace.pl
Network Decomposition • Infinite Non-negative Matrix Factorization • Formulate the discovery of network legos as a non-negative factorization problem • Develop a novel Bayesian model which automatically learns the number of the bases.
Network Decomposition • Synthetic Network Decomposition
Data: Movie rating • User-item Matrix of Ratings • Recommend: 5 • Not Recommend: 1 X =
Task: how to predict user preference • “Based on the premise that people looking for information should be able to make use of what others have already found and evaluated.” (Maltz & Ehrlich, 1995) • E.g., if you like movies A, B, C, D, and E. And I like A, B, C, D but have not seen E yet. What would be my possible rating on E?
Collaborative filtering for recommendation systems • Matrix factorization as an collaborative filtering approach: X ≈ Z A where X is N by D, Z is N by K and A is K by D. xi,j: user i’s rating on movie j zi,k: user i’s interests in movie category k (e.g., action, thriller, comedy, romance, etc.) Ak,j: how likely movie j belong to movie category k Such that xi,j≈ zi,1 A1,j + zi,2 A22,j + … + zi,KAK,j
Bayesian learning of matrix factorization • Training: Use probability theory, in particular, Bayeisan inference, to learn the model parameters Z, A given data X, which contains missing elements, i.e., unknown ratings • Prediction: use estimated Z and A to predict unkown ratings in X
Test resutls • ‘Jester’ dataset: • Map from [-10,10] to [0,20] • 10 random chosen datasets, each with 1000 users. For each user we randomly hold out 10 ratings for testing • IMF, INMF and NMF(K=2…9)
Task • How to find latent topics and group documents, such as emails, papers, or news into different clusters?
Data: text documents Computer science papers Biology papers X =
Assumptions • The keywords are shared in different documents of one topic. • The more important the keyword is, the more frequent it appears.
Matrix factorization models (again) X = Z A xi,j: the frequency word j appears in document zi,k: how much content in document i is related to topic k (e.g., biology, computer science, etc.) Ak,j: how important word j to topic k
Bayesian Matrix Factorization • We will use Bayesian methods again to estimate Z and A. • Once we can identify hidden topics by examining A and cluster documents.
Text Clustering • ‘20 newsgroup’ dataset • A subset of 815 articles and 477 words.
Summary • Bayesian machine learning: A powerful tool enables computers to learn hidden relations from massive data and make sensible predictions. • Applications in computational biology, e.g., gene expression analysis and motif discovery, and information extraction, e.g., text modeling.
