We propose a novel algorithm for gene regulatory network inference. Gene Regulatory Network (GRN) inference is approximating the combined effect of different genes in a specific genome data. GRNs are nonlinear, dynamic and noisy. Timeseries data has been frequently used for GRN modeling. Due to the function approximation and feedback nature of GRN, a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) model is used. RNN training is a complicated task. We propose a multi agent system for RNN training. The agents of the proposed multi agent system trainer are separate swarms of particles building up a multi population Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. We compare the proposed algorithm with a similar algorithm that uses RNN with standard PSO for training. The results show improvements using the E. coli SOS dataset.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
