Evaluating input data using a deep learning algorithm

Abstract

The invention provides a method for evaluating a set of input data, the input data comprising at least one of: clinical data of a subject; genomic data of a subject; clinical data of a plurality of subjects; and genomic data of a plurality of subjects, using a deep learning algorithm. The method includes obtaining a set of input data, wherein the set of input data comprises raw data arranged into a plurality of data clusters and tuning the deep learning algorithm based on the plurality of data clusters. The deep learning algorithm comprises: an input layer; an output layer; and a plurality of hidden layers. The method further includes performing statistical clustering on the raw data using the deep learning algorithm, thereby generating statistical clusters and obtaining a marker from each statistical cluster. Finally, the set of input data is evaluated based on the markers to derive data of medical relevance in respect of the subject or subjects.
