BDKANN - Biological Domain Knowledge-based Artificial Neural Network for drug response prediction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Motivation One of the main goals of precision oncology is to predict the response of a patient to a given cancer treatment based on their genomic profile. Although current models for drug response prediction are becoming more accurate, they are also ‘black boxes’ and cannot explain their predictions, which is of particular importance in cancer treatment. Many models also do not leverage prior biological knowledge, such as the hierarchical information on how proteins form complexes and act together in pathways. Results In this work, we use this prior biological knowledge to form the architecture of a deep neural network to predict cancer drug response from cell line gene expression data. We find that our approach not only has a low prediction error compared to baseline models but also allows meaningful interpretation of the network. These interpretations can both explain predictions made and discover novel connections in the biological knowledge that may lead to new hypotheses about mechanisms of drug action.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
