Inferring disease subtypes from clusters in explanation space

Abstract: Identification of disease subtypes and corresponding biomarkers can substantially improve clinical diagnosis and treatment selection. Discovering these subtypes in noisy, high dimensional biomedical data is often impossible for humans and challenging for machines. We introduce a new approach to facilitate the discovery of disease subtypes: Instead of analyzing the original data, we train a diagnostic classifier (healthy vs. diseased) and extract instance-wise explanations for the classifier's decisions. the di… Show more

“…Finally, new studies should use more sophisticated model explanations to identify the specific brain areas or networks that are driving the age gap at the individual level. 70,71 In conclusion, this systematic review and meta-analysis found evidence to support the hypothesis of significant accelerated brain aging in SCZ, BD, and MDD, with SCZ presenting the largest effect, followed by BD and MDD. The fact that brain-PAD differences are more pronounced in older subjects indicates a greater impact associated with cumulative illness burden.…”

“…Recently, new local explanation methods have been developed, including SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), to explain variable contributions at the individual level [42]. Adaptations of this, such as TreeExplainer, leverage the internal structure of treebased models to efficiently compute local explanations using Shapley values [43].…”

“…To select disease-specific variability, recent contributions propose hybrid approaches integrating a supervised task (patient vs. controls) to the clustering problem. In [22], authors propose a hybrid method for disease-subtyping in precision medicine. Their implementation consists of training a Random Forest supervised classifier (healthy vs. diseased) and then apply SHAP algorithm [11,10] to get explanation values from Random Forest classifiers.…”
