A similarity-based algorithm based on a previously developed model is applied in the classification of two sets of anticonvulsant and non-anticonvulsant drugs. Each set is composed of a) anticonvulsant compounds that have shown moderate to high activity in the Maximal Electroshock Seizure (MES) test and b) drugs with other biological activities or poor activity in the MES test. The results from the analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicate that the proposed algorithm is able to differentiate anticonvulsant from non-anticonvulsant drugs. The proposed model may then be useful in the identification of new anticonvulsant agents through virtual screening of large virtual libraries of chemical structures.

Exploring the associations between microbes and drugs offers valuable insights into their underlying mechanisms. Traditional wet lab experiments, while reliable, are often time-consuming and labor-intensive, making computational approaches an attractive alternative. Existing similarity-based machine learning models for predicting microbe-drug associations typically rely on integrated similarities as input, neglecting the unique contributions of individual similarities, which can compromise predictive accuracy.

Mass-spectrometry-based proteomics frequently utilizes label-free quantification strategies due to their cost-effectiveness, methodological simplicity, and capability to identify large numbers of proteins within a single analytical run. Despite these advantages, the prevalence of missing values (MV), which can impact up to 50% of the data matrix, poses a significant challenge by reducing the accuracy, reproducibility, and interpretability of the results. Consequently, effective handling of missing values is crucial for reliable quantitative analysis in proteomic studies.

Biological brains have the capability to adaptively coordinate relevant neuronal populations based on the task context to learn continuously changing tasks in real-world environments. However, existing spiking neural network-based continual learning algorithms treat each task equally, ignoring the guiding role of different task similarity associations for network learning, which limits knowledge utilization efficiency. Inspired by the context-dependent plasticity mechanism of the brain, we propose a Similarity-based Context Aware Spiking Neural Network (SCA-SNN) continual learning algorithm to efficiently accomplish task incremental learning and class incremental learning.

PartIES: a disease subtyping framework with Partition-level Integration using diffusion-Enhanced Similarities from multi-omics Data.

Integrating multi-omics data helps identify disease subtypes. Many similarity-based methods were developed for disease subtyping using multi-omics data, with many of them focusing on extracting common clustering structures across multiple types of omics data, but not preserving data-type-specific clustering structures. Moreover, clustering performance of similarity-based methods is affected when similarity measures are noisy.
