Classification of cancer condition, in a plurality of different cancer conditions, for a species, is provided in which, for each training subject in a plurality of training subjects, there is obtained a cancer condition and a genotypic data construct including genotypic information for the respective training subject. Genotypic constructs are formatted into corresponding vector sets comprising one or more vectors. Vector sets are provided to a network architecture including a convolutional neural network path comprising at least a first convolutional layer associated with a first filter that comprise a first set of filter weights and a scorer. Scores, corresponding to the input of vector sets into the network architecture, are obtained from the scorer. Comparison of respective scores to the corresponding cancer condition of the corresponding training subjects is used to adjust the filter weights thereby training the network architecture to classify cancer condition.

Convolutional neural network systems and methods for data classification

Technical solutions for classifying patients with respect to multiple cancer classes are provided. The classification can be done using cell-free whole genome sequencing information from subjects. A reference set of subjects is used to train classifiers to recognize genomic markers that distinguish such cancer classes. The classifier training includes dividing the reference genome into a set of non-overlapping bins, applying a dimensionality reduction method to obtain a feature set, and using the feature set to train classifiers. For subjects with unknown cancer class, the trained classifiers provide probabilities or likelihoods that the subject has a respective cancer class for each cancer in a set of cancer classes. The present disclosure thus describes methods to improve the screening and detection of cancer class from among several cancer classes. This serves to facilitate early and appropriate treatment for subjects afflicted with cancer.
