Heterogeneous network embedding (HNE) is a challenging task due to the diverse node types and/or diverse relationships between nodes. Existing HNE methods are typically  unsupervised.  To maximize the profit of utilizing the rare and valuable supervised information in HNEs, we develop a novel Active Heterogeneous Network Embedding (ActiveHNE) framework, which includes two components: Discriminative Heterogeneous Network Embedding (DHNE) and Active Query in Heterogeneous Networks (AQHN).In DHNE, we introduce a novel semi-supervised heterogeneous network embedding method based on graph convolutional neural network. In AQHN, we first introduce three active selection strategies based on uncertainty and representativeness, and then derive a batch selection method that assembles these strategies using a multi-armed bandit mechanism. ActiveHNE aims at improving the performance of HNE by feeding the most valuable supervision obtained by AQHN into DHNE. Experiments on public datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of ActiveHNE and its advantage on reducing the query cost.

Aberrant expressions of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are often associated with diseases and identification of disease-related lncRNAs is helpful for elucidating complex pathogenesis. Recent methods for predicting associations between lncRNAs and diseases integrate their pertinent heterogeneous data. However, they failed to deeply integrate topological information of heterogeneous network comprising lncRNAs, diseases, and miRNAs. We proposed a novel method based on the graph convolutional network and convolutional neural network, referred to as GCNLDA, to infer disease-related lncRNA candidates. The heterogeneous network containing the lncRNA, disease, and miRNA nodes, is constructed firstly. The embedding matrix of a lncRNA-disease node pair was constructed according to various biological premises about lncRNAs, diseases, and miRNAs. A new framework based on a graph convolutional network and a convolutional neural network was developed to learn network and local representations of the lncRNA-disease pair. On the left side of the framework, the autoencoder based on graph convolution deeply integrated topological information within the heterogeneous lncRNA-disease-miRNA network. Moreover, as different node features have discriminative contributions to the association prediction, an attention mechanism at node feature level is constructed. The left side learnt the network representation of the lncRNA-disease pair. The convolutional neural networks on the right side of the framework learnt the local representation of the lncRNA-disease pair by focusing on the similarities, associations, and interactions that are only related to the pair. Compared to several state-of-the-art prediction methods, GCNLDA had superior performance. Case studies on stomach cancer, osteosarcoma, and lung cancer confirmed that GCNLDA effectively discovers the potential lncRNA-disease associations.

N7-methylguanosine (m7G) is a typical positively charged RNA modification, playing a vital role in transcriptional regulation. m7G can affect the biological processes of mRNA and tRNA and has associations with multiple diseases including cancers. Wet-lab experiments are cost and time ineffective for the identification of disease-related m7G sites. Thus, a heterogeneous network method based on Convolutional Neural Networks (HN-CNN) has been proposed to predict unknown associations between m7G sites and diseases. HN-CNN constructs a heterogeneous network with m7G site similarity, disease similarity, and disease-associated m7G sites to formulate features for m7G site-disease pairs. Next, a convolutional neural network (CNN) obtains multidimensional and irrelevant features prominently. Finally, XGBoost is adopted to predict the association between m7G sites and diseases. The performance of HN-CNN is compared with Naive Bayes (NB), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), as well as Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) through 10-fold cross-validation. The average AUC of HN-CNN is 0.827, which is superior to others.

Image deconvolution has been an important issue recently. It has two kinds of approaches: non-blind and blind. Non-blind deconvolution is a classic problem of image deblurring, which assumes that the PSF is known and does not change universally in space. Recently, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has been used for non-blind deconvolution. Though CNNs can deal with complex changes for unknown images, some CNN-based conventional methods can only handle small PSFs and does not consider the use of large PSFs in the real world. In this paper we propose a non-blind deconvolution framework based on a CNN that can remove large scale ringing in a deblurred image. Our method has three key points. The first is that our network architecture is able to preserve both large and small features in the image. The second is that the training dataset is created to preserve the details. The third is that we extend the images to minimize the effects of large ringing on the image borders. In our experiments, we used three kinds of large PSFs and were able to observe high-precision results from our method both quantitatively and qualitatively.
