Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been widely applied to study macromolecules including proteins. However, high-dimensionality of the datasets produced by simulations makes it difficult for thorough analysis, and further hinders a deeper understanding of biomacromolecules. To gain more insights into the protein structure-function relations, appropriate dimensionality reduction methods are needed to project simulations onto low-dimensional spaces. Linear dimensionality reduction methods, such as principal component analysis (PCA) and time-structure based independent component analysis (t-ICA), could not preserve sufficient structural information. Though better than linear methods, nonlinear methods, such as t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE), still suffer from the limitations in avoiding system noise and keeping inter-cluster relations. ivis is a novel deep learning-based dimensionality reduction method originally developed for single-cell datasets. Here we applied this framework for the study of light, oxygen and voltage (LOV) domain of diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum aureochrome 1a (PtAu1a). Compared with other methods, ivis is shown to be superior in constructing Markov state model (MSM), preserving information of both local and global distances and maintaining similarity between high dimension and low dimension with the least information loss. Moreover, ivis framework is capable of providing new prospective for deciphering residue-level protein allostery through the feature weights in the neural network. Overall, ivis is a promising member in the analysis toolbox for proteins.

This report concerns the problem of dimensionality reduction through information geometric methods on statistical manifolds. While there has been considerable work recently presented regarding dimensionality reduction for the purposes of learning tasks such as classification, clustering, and visualization, these methods have focused primarily on Riemannian manifolds in Euclidean space. While sufficient for many applications, there are many high-dimensional signals which have no straightforward and meaningful Euclidean representation. In these cases, signals may be more appropriately represented as a realization of some distribution lying on a statistical manifold, or a manifold of probability density functions (PDFs). We present a framework for dimensionality reduction that uses information geometry for both statistical manifold reconstruction as well as dimensionality reduction in the data domain.
We present a general framework of semi-supervised dimensionality reduction for manifold learning which naturally generalizes existing supervised and unsupervised learning frameworks which apply the spectral decomposition. Algorithms derived under our framework are able to employ both labeled and unlabeled examples and are able to handle complex problems where data form separate clusters of manifolds. Our framework offers simple views, explains relationships among existing frameworks and provides further extensions which can improve existing algorithms. Furthermore, a new semi-supervised kernelization framework called ``KPCA trick is proposed to handle non-linear problems.
Existing dimensionality reduction methods are adept at revealing hidden underlying manifolds arising from high-dimensional data and thereby producing a low-dimensional representation. However, the smoothness of the manifolds produced by classic techniques over sparse and noisy data is not guaranteed. In fact, the embedding generated using such data may distort the geometry of the manifold and thereby produce an unfaithful embedding. Herein, we propose a framework for nonlinear dimensionality reduction that generates a manifold in terms of smooth geodesics that is designed to treat problems in which manifold measurements are either sparse or corrupted by noise. Our method generates a network structure for given high-dimensional data using a nearest neighbors search and then produces piecewise linear shortest paths that are defined as geodesics. Then, we fit points in each geodesic by a smoothing spline to emphasize the smoothness. The robustness of this approach for sparse and noisy datasets is demonstrated by the implementation of the method on synthetic and real-world datasets.
Large volume of Genomics data is produced on daily basis due to the advancement in sequencing technology. This data is of no value if it is not properly analysed. Different kinds of analytics are required to extract useful information from this raw data. Classification, Prediction, Clustering and Pattern Extraction are useful techniques of data mining. These techniques require appropriate selection of attributes of data for getting accurate results. However, Bioinformatics data is high dimensional, usually having hundreds of attributes. Such large a number of attributes affect the performance of machine learning algorithms used for classification/prediction. So, dimensionality reduction techniques are required to reduce the number of attributes that can be further used for analysis. In this paper, Principal Component Analysis and Factor Analysis are used for dimensionality reduction of Bioinformatics data. These techniques were applied on Leukaemia data set and the number of attributes was reduced from to.
Stimulus dimensionality-reduction methods in neuroscience seek to identify a low-dimensional space of stimulus features that affect a neurons probability of spiking. One popular method, known as maximally informative dimensions (MID), uses an information-theoretic quantity known as single-spike information to identify this space. Here we examine MID from a model-based perspective. We show that MID is a maximum-likelihood estimator for the parameters of a linear-nonlinear-Poisson (LNP) model, and that the empirical single-spike information corresponds to the normalized log-likelihood under a Poisson model. This equivalence implies that MID does not necessarily find maximally informative stimulus dimensions when spiking is not well described as Poisson. We provide several examples to illustrate this shortcoming, and derive a lower bound on the information lost when spiking is Bernoulli in discrete time bins. To overcome this limitation, we introduce model-based dimensionality reduction methods for neurons with non-Poisson firing statistics, and show that they can be framed equivalently in likelihood-based or information-theoretic terms. Finally, we show how to overcome practical limitations on the number of stimulus dimensions that MID can estimate by constraining the form of the non-parametric nonlinearity in an LNP model. We illustrate these methods with simulations and data from primate visual cortex.
