Deep learning is very promising in solving problems in omics research, such as genomics, epigenomics, proteomics, and metabolics. The design of neural network architecture is very important in modeling omics data against different scientific problems. Residual fully-connected neural network (RFCN) was proposed to provide better neural network architectures for modeling omics data. The next challenge for omics research is how to integrate informations from different omics data using deep learning, so that information from different molecular system levels could be combined to predict the target. In this paper, we present a novel multimodal approach that could efficiently integrate information from different omics data and achieve better accuracy than previous approaches. We evaluate our method in four different tasks: drug repositioning, target gene prediction, breast cancer subtyping and cancer type prediction, and all the four tasks achieved state of art performances. The multimodal approach is implemented in AutoGenome V2 and is also powered with all the previous AutoML convenience to facilitate biomedical researchers.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
