Machine learning and AI

Harness the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to unlock deeper insights from your microbiome data. As microbiome datasets grow in size and complexity, enriched with rich metadata and multi-omics measurements, they become increasingly suitable for advanced AI techniques. At Cmbio, we offer expertise and robust ML platforms—including classification, logistic regression, and deep learning models—to help you maximize the value of your data.

Our Machine Learning Services

 
Extensive Data Warehouse

We have built a comprehensive data warehouse containing over 60,000 samples along with associated metadata. This extensive repository is ideally suited for AI model building and discovery, enabling more accurate and robust machine learning analyses. By leveraging this vast dataset, we can develop and fine-tune models that capture intricate patterns and relationships within microbiome communities.

Response Prediction

Identify which participants are likely to respond to treatment based on their baseline microbiome profiles. By understanding why certain individuals may not respond to an intervention, we move a step closer to personalized medicine. This insight can guide drug development and improve the design of clinical trials, enhancing their effectiveness and success rates.
Biomarker Identification

Leverage machine learning for powerful biomarker discovery. Our ML models can detect non-linear relationships between multiple variables and clinical measurements, enabling the mining and prioritization of biomarkers from large datasets. Validating these biomarkers in independent cohorts before clinical application increases their chances of success and reduces downstream costs.

Health Metrics for Quantitative Evaluation

Interpret the effects of interventions on the microbiome and host health using our machine learning-based health metrics. Since defining a "healthy" microbiome remains challenging, we have developed tools such as our "age predictor" to quantitatively evaluate treatment effects and other factors impacting the microbiome.
 

Why Choose Our Machine Learning Solutions

  • Optimized for Microbiome Data: Our methods are tailored to address the unique challenges of microbiome data, including high dimensionality, compositionality, and sparsity.

  • Systems-Biology Approach: We employ a systems-biology perspective to build accurate models that provide meaningful interpretations, moving beyond "black-box" algorithms.

  • Specialized Foundation Models: Our self-supervised foundation models dramatically increase the available training data, allowing for fine-tuning on specialized tasks and enhancing predictive capabilities.

  • Expertise in Large-Scale Studies: For studies with 200 or more samples, complementing standard statistical analysis with machine learning can reveal novel insights and patterns.
