Differential Private Deep Learning Models for Analyzing Breast Cancer Omics Data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Proper analysis of high-dimensional human genomic data is necessary to increase human knowledge about fundamental biological questions such as disease associations and drug sensitivity. However, such data contain sensitive private information about individuals and can be used to identify an individual (i.e., privacy violation) uniquely. Therefore, raw genomic datasets cannot be publicly published or shared with researchers. The recent success of deep learning (DL) in diverse problems proved its suitability for analyzing the high volume of high-dimensional genomic data. Still, DL-based models leak information about the training samples. To overcome this challenge, we can incorporate differential privacy mechanisms into the DL analysis framework as differential privacy can protect individuals' privacy. We proposed a differential privacy based DL framework to solve two biological problems: breast cancer status (BCS) and cancer type (CT) classification, and drug sensitivity prediction. To predict BCS and CT using genomic data, we built a differential private (DP) deep autoencoder (dpAE) using private gene expression datasets that performs low-dimensional data representation learning. We used dpAE features to build multiple DP binary classifiers to predict BCS and CT in any individual. To predict drug sensitivity, we used the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) dataset. We extracted GDSC's dpAE features to build our DP drug sensitivity prediction model for 265 drugs. Evaluation of our proposed DP framework shows that it achieves improved prediction performance in predicting BCS, CT, and drug sensitivity than the previously published DP work.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
