RESUMO
The study of complex behavior of biological systems has become increasingly dependent on evolutionary network modeling. In particular, multi-omics networks capture interactions between biomolecules such as proteins and metabolites, providing a basis for predicting relationships between such biomolecules and various phenotypic traits of complex diseases. In this paper, we introduce an integrative framework that given a multi-omics network representing a cohort of subjects, learns expressive representations for network nodes, and combines the learned nodes representations with the biological profiles of individual subjects for enriched representation of the subjects. With extensive empirical evaluation using real-world multi-omics networks, we show that our proposed framework significantly outperforms existing and baseline methods in terms of subject representation accuracy, particularly when the multi-omics network representing the cohort is sparse and structured and therefore, more informative.
