Solution Overview

Problem

Current machine learning systems fail to accurately predict the onset time of diseases with significant genetic risk components due to the lack of temporal information in static graph representations and reliance on static risk scores, leading to inadequate disease onset estimation.

Innovation Solution

A multi-omics framework utilizing dynamic multigraph data objects generated from whole-genome sequence, transcriptome, and clinical event data, trained with a temporal graph network (TGN) to predict a risk window for disease onset by capturing temporal information through evolving graph representations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex prediction task into distinct modules: multi-omics data integration module, dynamic multigraph construction module, temporal graph network prediction module, and risk window estimation module. This segmentation manages framework complexity by breaking down the multi-omics processing into manageable, specialized components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic multigraph data objects as intermediary structures that bridge raw multi-omics data and final predictions. These intermediary representations standardize the complex data formats from genomics, transcriptomics, and clinical data, simplifying the overall framework by providing a unified representation layer

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary data processing by transforming raw multi-omics data into standardized dynamic multigraph data objects before feeding them to the temporal graph network. This preliminary action pre-organizes the data structure, reducing the processing burden during prediction and improving risk window estimation precision

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes data parameters by converting static risk scores into dynamic representations that include temporal information. By transforming data from static to dynamic formats and adjusting parameter representations, the system captures temporal trajectories without proportionally increasing processing complexity

Inventive Principle:
