Optimal transport-based machine learning to match specific patterns: application to the detection of molecular regulation patterns in omics data
Résumé
We present several algorithms designed to learn a pattern of correspondence between two data sets in situations where it is desirable to match elements that exhibit a relationship belonging to a known parametric model. In the motivating case study, the challenge is to better understand micro-RNA regulation in the striatum of Huntington's disease model mice.
The algorithms unfold in two stages. First, an optimal transport plan P and an optimal affine transformation are learned, using the Sinkhorn-Knopp algorithm and a mini-batch gradient descent. Second, P is exploited to derive either several co-clusters or several sets of matched elements.
A simulation study illustrates how the algorithms work and perform. The real data application further illustrates their applicability and interest.
