Tensor clustering with algebraic constraints gives interpretable groups of crosstalk mechanisms in breast cancer
2019
We introduce a tensor-based clustering method to extract sparse, low-dimensional structure from high-dimensional, multi-indexed datasets. This framework is designed to enable detection of clusters of data in the presence of structural requirements which we encode as algebraic constraints in a linear program. Our clustering method is general and can be tailored to a variety of applications in science and industry. We illustrate our method on a collection of experiments measuring the response of genetically diverse breast cancer cell lines to an array of ligands. Each experiment consists of a cell line–ligand combination, and contains time-course measurements of the early signalling kinases MAPK and AKT at two different ligand dose levels. By imposing appropriate structural constraints and respecting the multi-indexed structure of the data, the analysis of clusters can be optimized for biological interpretation and therapeutic understanding. We then perform a systematic, large-scale exploration of mechanist...
