Discovering implicit associations among critical biological entities.

Abstract excerpt

We propose an approach to predicting implicit gene-disease associations based on the inference network, whereby genes and diseases are represented as nodes and are connected via two types of intermediate nodes: gene functions and phenotypes. To estimate the probabilities involved in the model, two learning schemes are compared; one baseline using co-annotations of keywords and the other taking advantage of free...
