Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Machine learning methods have become increasingly powerful in recent years and transformed various domains, and biomedicine is no exception. ML has found numerous applications in the field of biomedicine, tackling complex problems such as predicting 3D structures of proteins, deciphering intricate genetic regulatory networks, and assisting in medical decisions, such as diagnosing diseases and recommending personalized treatment plans. These applications highlight the potential of ML to revolutionize and significantly enhance various facets of biomedicine. With great enthusiasm, we would therefore like to announce our forthcoming Special Issue, named "Mathematical Approaches to Advanced Applications in Biomedicine Using Machine Learning".

Given the interdisciplinary nature of the Special Issue, we invite researchers from different areas of mathematics, statistics, computer science, biology, and medicine to contribute. Topics include but are not limited to:

  • Novel machine learning algorithms for analyzing complex biological data such as genetics, genomics, and proteomics;
  • ML algorithms for the integration of multimodal data in bioinformatics;
  • Machine learning-driven drug discovery and development;
  • Disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment recommendations using AI;
  • Applications of ML methods to clinical decisions such as disease diagnosis and treatment recommendations;
  • Mathematical modelling of ethical considerations and challenges in using machine learning in biomedicine.

Advancements in data availability and computational techniques, including machine learning, have transformed the field of bioinformatics, enabling the robust analysis of complex, high-dimensional, and heterogeneous biomedical data. This paper explores how diverse bioinformatics tasks, including differential expression analysis, network inference, and somatic mutation calling, can be reframed as binary classification tasks, thereby providing a unifying framework for their analysis. Traditional single-method approaches often fail to generalize across datasets due to differences in data distributions, noise levels, and underlying biological contexts. Ensemble learning, particularly unsupervised ensemble approaches, emerges as a compelling solution by integrating predictions from multiple algorithms to leverage their strengths and mitigate weaknesses. This review focuses on the principles and recent advancements in ensemble learning, with a particular emphasis on unsupervised ensemble methods. These approaches demonstrate their ability to address critical challenges in bioinformatics, such as the lack of labeled data and the integration of predictions from algorithms operating on different scales. Overall, this paper highlights the transformative potential of ensemble learning in advancing predictive accuracy, robustness, and interpretability across diverse bioinformatics applications.
