Functional and embedding feature analysis for pan-cancer classification.

ABSTRACT: With the increasing number of people suffering from cancer, this illness has become a major health problem worldwide. Exploring the biological functions and signaling pathways of carcinogenesis is essential for cancer detection and research. In this study, a mutation dataset for eleven cancer types was first obtained from a web-based resource called cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics, followed by extracting 21,049 features from three aspects: relationship to GO and KEGG (enrichment features), mutated genes learned by word2vec (text features), and protein-protein interaction network analyzed by node2vec (network features). Irrelevant features were then excluded using the Boruta feature filtering method, and the retained relevant features were ranked by four feature selection methods (least abso
