OmniLatent — Deep Representation Learning for TCGA-BRCA Transcriptomic Data
Model Description
OmniLatent is a deep autoencoder framework for learning compact, biologically meaningful latent representations from high-dimensional transcriptomic data.
The model was developed as part of the OmniLatent research project, which explores nonlinear representation learning for cancer genomics and precision medicine.
The model compresses genome-wide gene-expression profiles into a low-dimensional latent space, enabling downstream analysis such as clustering, visualization, and pattern discovery.
Model Details
- Model type: Stacked autoencoder
- Framework: PyTorch
- Latent dimension: 128
- Input dimension: 23,375 gene-expression features
- Dimensionality reduction: 99.5%
- Test reconstruction loss: 0.3129
- Format: PyTorch (
best_model.pt) - License: MIT
Intended Use
The model is intended for:
- Representation learning on bulk RNA-seq data
- Dimensionality reduction of transcriptomic profiles
- Clustering and visualization of cancer transcriptomes
- Research on cancer genomics and precision medicine
- Reproducible computational biology experiments
The model is not intended for clinical diagnosis, treatment decisions, or direct clinical use.
Training Data
- Dataset: TCGA-BRCA RNA-seq
- Samples: 1,231
- Genes: 23,375
Training
The model was trained as part of the OmniLatent research workflow. The associated project includes:
- End-to-end reproducible transcriptomic pipeline (data acquisition, preprocessing, gene filtering, normalization, QC)
- Stacked autoencoder architecture
- Latent space characterized via PCA, UMAP, and clustering
- Reproducible implementation and released research artifacts
Evaluation
Evaluation should be interpreted as research-model evaluation rather than clinical validation.
- Test reconstruction loss: 0.3129
- Latent space: 128-dimensional (99.5% reduction)
Performance depends on the downstream task and dataset. The model should be independently evaluated before use in downstream research applications.
Limitations
- Trained specifically on TCGA-BRCA data; may not generalize to other cancer types or datasets without retraining.
- Not validated for clinical decision-making.
- Latent representations should be interpreted with domain knowledge.
- Biological patterns identified in the latent space should be independently verified.
Ethical and Safety Considerations
This model is released for research and educational purposes. It should not be used as a substitute for professional medical or clinical expertise.
For applications involving human health data, outputs should be reviewed and independently verified by qualified researchers.
