Predicting Gene-Disease Associations with Knowledge Graph Embeddings over Multiple Ontologies
Susana Nunes, Rita T. Sousa, Catia Pesquita
Ontology-based approaches for predicting gene-disease associations include the more classical semantic similarity methods and more recently knowledge graph embeddings. While semantic similarity is typically restricted to hierarchical relations within the ontology, knowledge graph embeddings consider their full breadth. However, embeddings are produced over a single graph and complex tasks such as gene-disease association may require additional ontologies. We investigate the impact of employing richer semantic representations that are based on more than one ontology, able to represent both genes and diseases and consider multiple kinds of relations within the ontologies. Our experiments demonstrate the value of employing knowledge graph embeddings based on random-walks and highlight the need for a closer integration of different ontologies.
