We propose Prot2Text, which predicts a protein function’s in a free text style, moving beyond the conventional binary or categorical classifications. By combining Graph Neural Networks(GNNs) and Large Language Models(LLMs), in an encoder...

We introduce an Explainable Multilayer Graph Neural Network (EMGNN) approach to identify cancer genes by leveraging multiple gene-gene interaction networks and pan-cancer multi-omics data.
ICASSP 2023Michail Chatzianastasis, Loukas Ilias, Dimitris Askounis, Michalis Vazirgiannis
We propose a multimodal deep learning approach to combine speech and text modalities for recognizing Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) using Neural Architecture Search.
AAAI 2023Michail Chatzianastasis, Johannes Lutzeyer, George Dasoulas, Michalis Vazirgiannis
We introduce the Graph Ordering Attention (GOAT) layer, a novel GNN component that learns local node orderings via an attention mechanism and processes the ordered representations using a recurrent neural network aggregator.
AISTATS 2023Giannis Nikolentzos, Michail Chatzianastasis, Michalis Vazirgiannis
In this paper, we define a distance function between nodes which is based on the hierarchy produced by the WL algorithm, and propose a model that learns representations which preserve those distances between nodes. Since the emerging hie...
ICANN 2023Michail Chatzianastasis, Giannis Nikolentzos, Michalis Vazirgiannis
We propose a new technique that can be incorporated into any graph attention model to encourage higher attention scores between nodes that share the same class label.
ICML 2022 Workshop on Computational Biology and 12th EETN Conference on Artificial Intelligence (SETN 2022)Michail Chatzianastasis, Giannis Nikolentzos, Michalis Vazirgiannis
We propose a node embedding algorithm for the problem of drug repurposing. The proposed algorithm learns node representations that capture the influence of nodes in the biological network by learning a mass term for each node along with ...
ICCV 2021 Workshop on Neural Architectures: Past, Present and FutureMichail Chatzianastasis, George Dasoulas, Georgios Siolas, Michalis Vazirgiannis
We propose the replacement of fixed operator encoding with learnable representations in the optimization process.
