Article Citation - WoS: 49Citation - Scopus: 63Node Similarity-Based Graph Convolution for Link Prediction in Biological Networks(Oxford Univ Press, 2021-06-21) Coskun, Mustafa; Koyuturk, MehmetBackground: Link prediction is an important and well-studied problem in network biology. Recently, graph representation learning methods, including Graph Convolutional Network (GCN)-based node embedding have drawn increasing attention in link prediction. Motivation: An important component of GCN-based network embedding is the convolution matrix, which is used to propagate features across the network. Existing algorithms use the degree-normalized adjacency matrix for this purpose, as this matrix is closely related to the graph Laplacian, capturing the spectral properties of the network. In parallel, it has been shown that GCNs with a single layer can generate more robust embeddings by reducing the number of parameters. Laplacian-based convolution is not well suited to single-layered GCNs, as it limits the propagation of information to immediate neighbors of a node. Results: Capitalizing on the rich literature on unsupervised link prediction, we propose using node similarity-based convolution matrices in GCNs to compute node embeddings for link prediction. We consider eight representative node-similarity measures (Common Neighbors, Jaccard Index, Adamic-Adar, Resource Allocation, Hub- Depressed Index, Hub-Promoted Index, Sorenson Index and Salton Index) for this purpose. We systematically compare the performance of the resulting algorithms against GCNs that use the degree-normalized adjacency matrix for convolution, as well as other link prediction algorithms. In our experiments, we use three-link prediction tasks involving biomedical networks: drug-disease association prediction, drug-drug interaction prediction and protein-protein interaction prediction. Our results show that node similarity-based convolution matrices significantly improve the link prediction performance of GCN-based embeddings. Conclusion: As sophisticated machine-learning frameworks are increasingly employed in biological applications, historically well-established methods can be useful in making a head-start.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Integrated Querying and Version Control of Context-Specific Biological Networks(Oxford Univ Press, 2020) Cowman, Tyler; Coskun, Mustafa; Grama, Ananth; Koyuturk, MehmetMotivation: Biomolecular data stored in public databases is increasingly specialized to organisms, context/pathology and tissue type, potentially resulting in significant overhead for analyses. These networks are often specializations of generic interaction sets, presenting opportunities for reducing storage and computational cost. Therefore, it is desirable to develop effective compression and storage techniques, along with efficient algorithms and a flexible query interface capable of operating on compressed data structures. Current graph databases offer varying levels of support for network integration. However, these solutions do not provide efficient methods for the storage and querying of versioned networks. Results: We present VerTIoN, a framework consisting of novel data structures and associated query mechanisms for integrated querying of versioned context-specific biological networks. As a use case for our framework, we study network proximity queries in which the user can select and compose a combination of tissue-specific and generic networks. Using our compressed version tree data structure, in conjunction with state-of-the-art numerical techniques, we demonstrate real-time querying of large network databases. Conclusion: Our results show that it is possible to support flexible queries defined on heterogeneous networks composed at query time while drastically reducing response time for multiple simultaneous queries. The flexibility offered by VerTIoN in composing integrated network versions opens significant new avenues for the utilization of ever increasing volume of context-specific network data in a broad range of biomedical applications. Availability and Implementation: VerTIoN is implemented as a C++ library and is available at http://compbio.case.edu/omics/software/vertion and https://github.com/tjcowman/vertion Contact: tyler.cowman@case.eduArticle Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Fast Computation of Katz Index for Efficient Processing of Link Prediction Queries(Springer, 2021-04-16) Coskun, Mustafa; Baggag, Abdelkader; Koyuturk, MehmetNetwork proximity computations are among the most common operations in various data mining applications, including link prediction and collaborative filtering. A common measure of network proximity is Katz index, which has been shown to be among the best-performing path-based link prediction algorithms. With the emergence of very large network databases, such proximity computations become an important part of query processing in these databases. Consequently, significant effort has been devoted to developing algorithms for efficient computation of Katz index between a given pair of nodes or between a query node and every other node in the network. Here, we present LRC-Katz, an algorithm based on indexing and low rank correction to accelerate Katz index based network proximity queries. Using a variety of very large real-world networks, we show that LRC-Katzoutperforms the fastest existing method, Conjugate Gradient, for a wide range of parameter values. Taking advantage of the acceleration in the computation of Katz index, we propose a new link prediction algorithm that exploits locality of networks that are encountered in practical applications. Our experiments show that the resulting link prediction algorithm drastically outperforms state-of-the-art link prediction methods based on the vanilla and truncated Katz.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Consensus Embedding for Multiple Networks: Computation and Applications(Cambridge Univ Press, 2022-05-30) Li, Mengzhen; Coskun, Mustafa; Koyuturk, MehmetMachine learning applications on large-scale network-structured data commonly encode network information in the form of node embeddings. Network embedding algorithms map the nodes into a low-dimensional space such that the nodes that are "similar" with respect to network topology are also close to each other in the embedding space. Real-world networks often have multiple versions or can be "multiplex" with multiple types of edges with different semantics. For such networks, computation of Consensus Embeddings based on the node embeddings of individual versions can be useful for various reasons, including privacy, efficiency, and effectiveness of analyses. Here, we systematically investigate the performance of three dimensionality reduction methods in computing consensus embeddings on networks with multiple versions: singular value decomposition, variational auto-encoders, and canonical correlation analysis (CCA). Our results show that (i) CCA outperforms other dimensionality reduction methods in computing concensus embeddings, (ii) in the context of link prediction, consensus embeddings can be used to make predictions with accuracy close to that provided by embeddings of integrated networks, and (iii) consensus embeddings can be used to improve the efficiency of combinatorial link prediction queries on multiple networks by multiple orders of magnitude.
