An energy-based model for neuro-symbolic reasoning on knowledge graphs
Machine learning on graph-structured data has recently become a major topic
in industry and research, finding many exciting applications such as
recommender systems and automated theorem proving. We propose an energy-based
graph embedding algorithm to characterize industrial automation systems,
integrating knowledge from different domains like industrial automation,
communications and cybersecurity. By combining knowledge from multiple domains,
the learned model is capable of making context-aware predictions regarding
novel system events and can be used to evaluate the severity of anomalies that
might be indicative of, e.g., cybersecurity breaches. The presented model is
mappable to a biologically-inspired neural architecture, serving as a first
bridge between graph embedding methods and neuromorphic computing - uncovering
a promising edge application for this upcoming technology.Comment: Accepted for publication at the 20th IEEE International Conference on

SpikE: spike-based embeddings for multi-relational graph data
Despite the recent success of reconciling spike-based coding with the error
backpropagation algorithm, spiking neural networks are still mostly applied to
tasks stemming from sensory processing, operating on traditional data
structures like visual or auditory data. A rich data representation that finds
wide application in industry and research is the so-called knowledge graph - a
graph-based structure where entities are depicted as nodes and relations
between them as edges. Complex systems like molecules, social networks and
industrial factory systems can be described using the common language of
knowledge graphs, allowing the usage of graph embedding algorithms to make
context-aware predictions in these information-packed environments. We propose
a spike-based algorithm where nodes in a graph are represented by single spike
times of neuron populations and relations as spike time differences between
populations. Learning such spike-based embeddings only requires knowledge about
spike times and spike time differences, compatible with recently proposed
frameworks for training spiking neural networks. The presented model is easily
mapped to current neuromorphic hardware systems and thereby moves inference on
knowledge graphs into a domain where these architectures thrive, unlocking a
promising industrial application area for this technology.Comment: Accepted for publication at IJCNN 202
Machine learning on knowledge graphs for context-aware security monitoring
Machine learning techniques are gaining attention in the context of intrusion
detection due to the increasing amounts of data generated by monitoring tools,
as well as the sophistication displayed by attackers in hiding their activity.
However, existing methods often exhibit important limitations in terms of the
quantity and relevance of the generated alerts. Recently, knowledge graphs are
finding application in the cybersecurity domain, showing the potential to
alleviate some of these drawbacks thanks to their ability to seamlessly
integrate data from multiple domains using human-understandable vocabularies.
We discuss the application of machine learning on knowledge graphs for
intrusion detection and experimentally evaluate a link-prediction method for
scoring anomalous activity in industrial systems. After initial unsupervised
training, the proposed method is shown to produce intuitively well-calibrated
and interpretable alerts in a diverse range of scenarios, hinting at the
potential benefits of relational machine learning on knowledge graphs for
intrusion detection purposes.Comment: Accepted for publication at IEEE-CSR 2021. Data is available on

Neuro-symbolic computing with spiking neural networks
Knowledge graphs are an expressive and widely used data structure due to
their ability to integrate data from different domains in a sensible and
machine-readable way. Thus, they can be used to model a variety of systems such
as molecules and social networks. However, it still remains an open question
how symbolic reasoning could be realized in spiking systems and, therefore, how
spiking neural networks could be applied to such graph data. Here, we extend
previous work on spike-based graph algorithms by demonstrating how symbolic and
multi-relational information can be encoded using spiking neurons, allowing
reasoning over symbolic structures like knowledge graphs with spiking neural
networks. The introduced framework is enabled by combining the graph embedding
paradigm and the recent progress in training spiking neural networks using
error backpropagation. The presented methods are applicable to a variety of
spiking neuron models and can be trained end-to-end in combination with other
differentiable network architectures, which we demonstrate by implementing a
spiking relational graph neural network.Comment: Accepted for publication at the International Conference on

Association of Candidate Gene Polymorphisms With Chronic Kidney Disease: Results of a Case-Control Analysis in the Nefrona Cohort
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major risk factor for end-stage renal disease, cardiovascular disease and premature death. Despite classical clinical risk factors for CKD and some genetic risk factors have been identified, the residual risk observed in prediction models is still high. Therefore, new risk factors need to be identified in order to better predict the risk of CKD in the population. Here, we analyzed the genetic association of 79 SNPs of proteins associated with mineral metabolism disturbances with CKD in a cohort that includes 2, 445 CKD cases and 559 controls. Genotyping was performed with matrix assisted laser desorption ionizationtime of flight mass spectrometry. We used logistic regression models considering different genetic inheritance models to assess the association of the SNPs with the prevalence of CKD, adjusting for known risk factors. Eight SNPs (rs1126616, rs35068180, rs2238135, rs1800247, rs385564, rs4236, rs2248359, and rs1564858) were associated with CKD even after adjusting by sex, age and race. A model containing five of these SNPs (rs1126616, rs35068180, rs1800247, rs4236, and rs2248359), diabetes and hypertension showed better performance than models considering only clinical risk factors, significantly increasing the area under the curve of the model without polymorphisms. Furthermore, one of the SNPs (the rs2248359) showed an interaction with hypertension, being the risk genotype affecting only hypertensive patients. We conclude that 5 SNPs related to proteins implicated in mineral metabolism disturbances (Osteopontin, osteocalcin, matrix gla protein, matrix metalloprotease 3 and 24 hydroxylase) are associated to an increased risk of suffering CKD
Genomic Relationships, Novel Loci, and Pleiotropic Mechanisms across Eight Psychiatric Disorders
Genetic influences on psychiatric disorders transcend diagnostic boundaries, suggesting substantial pleiotropy of contributing loci. However, the nature and mechanisms of these pleiotropic effects remain unclear. We performed analyses of 232,964 cases and 494,162 controls from genome-wide studies of anorexia nervosa, attention-deficit/hyper-activity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, and Tourette syndrome. Genetic correlation analyses revealed a meaningful structure within the eight disorders, identifying three groups of inter-related disorders. Meta-analysis across these eight disorders detected 109 loci associated with at least two psychiatric disorders, including 23 loci with pleiotropic effects on four or more disorders and 11 loci with antagonistic effects on multiple disorders. The pleiotropic loci are located within genes that show heightened expression in the brain throughout the lifespan, beginning prenatally in the second trimester, and play prominent roles in neurodevelopmental processes. These findings have important implications for psychiatric nosology, drug development, and risk prediction.Peer reviewe
