Latent dirichlet allocation for double clustering (LDA-DC): discovering patients phenotypes and cell populations within a single Bayesian framework

Résumé

Background Current clinical routines rely more and more on “omics” data such as flow cytometry data from host and microbiota. Cohorts variability in addition to patients’ heterogeneity and huge dimensions make it difficult to understand underlying structure of the data and decipher pathologies. Patients stratification and diagnostics from such complex data are extremely challenging. There is an acute need to develop novel statistical machine learning methods that are robust with respect to the data heterogeneity, efficient from the computational viewpoint, and can be understood by human experts. Results We propose a novel approach to stratify cell-based observations within a single probabilistic framework, i.e., to extract meaningful phenotypes from both patients and cells data simultaneously. We define this problem as a double clustering problem that we tackle with the proposed approach. Our method is a practical extension of the Latent Dirichlet Allocation and is used for the Double Clustering task (LDA-DC). We first validate the method on artificial datasets, then we apply our method to two real problems of patients stratification based on cytometry and microbiota data. We observe that the LDA-DC returns clusters of patients and also clusters of cells related to patients’ conditions. We also construct a graphical representation of the results that can be easily understood by humans and are, therefore, of a big help for experts involved in pre-clinical research.
