Abstract
Genes associated with similar diseases are often functionally related. This principle is largely supported by many biological data sources, such as disease phenotype similarities, protein complexes, protein-protein interactions, pathways and gene expression profiles. Integrating multiple types of biological data is an effective method to identify disease genes for many genetic diseases. To capture the gene-disease associations based on biological networks, a kernel-based MRF method is proposed by combining graph kernels and the Markov random field (MRF) method. In the proposed method, three kinds of kernels are employed to describe the overall relationships of vertices in five biological networks, respectively, and a novel weighted MRF method is developed to integrate those data. In addition, an improved Gibbs sampling procedure and a novel parameter estimation method are proposed to generate predictions from the kernel-based MRF method. Numerical experiments are carried out by integrating known gene-disease associations, protein complexes, protein-protein interactions, pathways and gene expression profiles. The proposed kernel-based MRF method is evaluated by the leave-one-out cross validation paradigm, achieving an AUC score of 0.771 when integrating all those biological data in our experiments, which indicates that our proposed method is very promising compared with many existing methods.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
