Multi-representation DeepInsight: an improvement on tabular data analysis

Tabular data analysis is a critical task in various domains, enabling us to uncover valuable insights from structured datasets. While traditional machine learning methods have been employed for feature engineering and dimensionality reduction, they often struggle to capture the intricate relationships and dependencies within real-world datasets. In this paper, we present Multi-representation DeepInsight (abbreviated as MRep-DeepInsight), an innovative extension of the DeepInsight method, specifically designed to enhance the analysis of tabular data. By generating multiple representations of samples using diverse feature extraction techniques, our approach aims to capture a broader range of features and reveal deeper insights. We demonstrate the effectiveness of MRep-DeepInsight on single-cell datasets, Alzheimer’s data, and artificial data, showcasing an improved accuracy over the original DeepInsight approach and machine learning methods like random forest and L2-regularized logistic regression. Our results highlight the value of incorporating multiple representations for robust and accurate tabular data analysis. By embracing the power of diverse representations, MRep-DeepInsight offers a promising avenue for advancing decision-making and scientific discovery across a wide range of fields.
