| Abstract | Finding informative genes for prostate cancer has always been an important topic in cancer study. With the widespread use of genomic analysis and microarray experiments, a large number of genes can be analyzed efficiently to find the informative ones based on high-throughput microarray experiments [5--9]. On the other hand, based on clinical studies, several genes have already been identified to be important in prostate cancer development and progression [23--28]. These research results come from heterogeneous sources, with different formats, and expressing different perspectives of the problem of finding informative genes for prostate cancer. In this work, we are aiming to find the informative genes for prostate cancer by utilizing these heterogeneous sources of information from various research progresses. We propose a general framework that encodes various heterogeneous sources including ranked lists of informative genes [5--9], microarray expression data [5--9] and important genes identified by [23--28]. The proposed framework estimates the conditional probability of a gene being informative and ranks the genes by this probability. The estimation of such probability is formulated as an optimization problem, where we propose an efficient iterative algorithm to solve the optimization problem. Furthermore, we show that the problem formulation is convex and the iterative algorithm converges to the global optimal value. Extensive experiments show that the utilization of heterogeneous information is very helpful in finding informative genes and the proposed method outperforms many other baseline methods. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
