Machine learning approaches to streamline and enhance the analysis of multiscale imaging data for bioaerosol and soil particles

Bioaerosol and soil particles are ubiquitous in the environment. They are multicomponent and complex in nature displaying mixed inorganic and organic components. The way components are mixed in a bioaerosol sample is referred to as its mixing state. Soil particles are also a mixture of inorganic (mineral) and organic (soil organic matter) components. Bioaerosol particles contribute to a major fraction of coarse mode atmospheric particles, especially in the tropical areas, contributing up to 80 % of the particle mass concentration. The mixing state of particles is crucial to evaluate because it impacts several important environmental processes such as warm and cold cloud formation and radiation budget. Mixing states in aerosols are accompanied by chemical reactions across solid-liquid-gas interfaces. In this study, we utilized elemental compositions and microcopy images of thousands of atmospheric particles acquired by computer-controlled scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometer to compute the mixing state of atmospheric particles. A 2D convolutional neural network (CNN), also known as convnet, was used to model the relationship between low resolution imaging data and higher resolution spectroscopy data, with the former as training input and the latter as target output. Two types of CNNs were implemented and tested; a basic CNN and an Inception-v3 network. For binary classification, the basic CNN achieved an accuracy of 84.29 % across all atom types, and the Inception-v3-like network achieved an accuracy 85.51 %. This study demonstrates the applicability of deep learning to handle large amounts of imaging/chemical spectroscopy data efficiently and evaluate particle mixing state from a range of environmental samples.

Identifying Genomic Islands with Deep Neural Networks

Background Horizontal gene transfer is the main source of adaptability for bacteria, through which genes are obtained from different sources including bacteria, archaea, viruses, and eukaryotes. This process promotes the rapid spread of genetic information across lineages, typically in the form of clusters of genes referred to as genomic islands (GIs). Different types of GIs exist, and are often classified by the content of their cargo genes or their means of integration and mobility. While various computational methods have been devised to detect different types of GIs, no single method is capable of detecting all types. Results We propose a method, which we call Shutter Island, that uses a deep learning model (Inception V3, widely used in computer vision) to detect genomic islands. The intrinsic value of deep learning methods lies in their ability to generalize. Via a technique called transfer learning, the model is pre-trained on a large generic dataset and then re-trained on images that we generate to represent genomic fragments. We demonstrate that this image-based approach generalizes better than the existing tools. Conclusions We used a deep neural network and an image-based approach to detect the most out of the correct GI predictions made by other tools, in addition to making novel GI predictions. The fact that the deep neural network was re-trained on only a limited number of GI datasets and then successfully generalized indicates that this approach could be applied to other problems in the field where data is still lacking or hard to curate.

Array-Based Machine Learning for Functional Group Detection in Electron Ionization Mass Spectrometry

Mass spectrometry is a ubiquitous technique capable of complex chemical analysis. The fragmentation patterns that appear in mass spectrometry are an excellent target for artificial intelligence methods to automate and expedite the analysis of data to identify targets such as functional groups. To develop this approach, we trained models on electron ionization (a reproducible hard fragmentation technique) mass spectra so that not only the final model accuracies but also the reasoning behind model assignments could be evaluated. The convolutional neural network (CNN) models were trained on 2D images of the spectra using transfer learning of Inception V3, and the logistic regression models were trained using array-based data and Scikit Learn implementation in Python. Our training dataset consisted of 21,166 mass spectra from the United States’ National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Webbook. The data was used to train models to identify functional groups, both specific (e.g., amines, esters) and generalized classifications (aromatics, oxygen-containing functional groups, and nitrogen-containing functional groups). We found that the highest final accuracies on identifying new data were observed using logistic regression rather than transfer learning on CNN models. It was also determined that the mass range most beneficial for functional group analysis is 0–100 m/z. We also found success in correctly identifying functional groups of example molecules selected from both the NIST database and experimental data. Beyond functional group analysis, we also have developed a methodology to identify impactful fragments for the accurate detection of the models’ targets. The results demonstrate a potential pathway for analyzing and screening substantial amounts of mass spectral data.
