Artificial Intelligence

As of today, the doctoral programme in Artificial Intelligence is the only doctoral programme in Catalonia focusing exclusively on artificial intelligence.

• The development of computing and its pervasiveness in all areas of society represent fundamental elements for understanding the socioeconomic progress of the second half of the 20th century. Particularly in recent years, artificial intelligence, due to its multidisciplinary nature, in addition to driving scientific and technological advancement in all fields of science, engineering and many other disciplines, has enabled the efficient and effective deciphering of scientific and social data, which has been critical to shaping our understanding of the world around us, living beings, mankind and society in general. Artificial intelligence is now present in nearly all domains of advanced society. Specifically, the financial, industrial, service, public administration, health care, communications, education and research and innovation sectors cannot be conceived without artificial intelligence playing a critical role in the systems that control them.

• The programme’s sphere of influence is Catalonia. As such it looks to attract Catalan students, though the Department also admits students from other parts of Spain and foreign countries. In Catalonia, and in particular, the metropolitan area surrounding Barcelona, industry and services have developed extensively. The financial, insurance, SME, consulting, education and research sectors here are key to the development of the country as a whole. And, as has already been mentioned, artificial intelligence is necessary in all of these fields. Consequently, educating and training well qualified AI researchers has undoubtedly become a strategic factor for growth.

• The doctoral programme in Artificial Intelligence was the first of its kind in Catalonia (1985), and for many years, it was the only one to exist. Since then, artificial intelligence has seen exponential growth and has been the starting point for many lines of research and products that have made their way to the general public, whether in American, Japan or Europe, where a significant number of Framework Programmes have been dedicated to financing projects that have artificial intelligence as a major element. In Catalonia in particular, the UPC’s doctoral programme in Artificial Intelligence has been vital to the creation of a thriving and growing scientific community. Some of the most important public and private research centres in Europe were founded by research graduates from our programme. Various spin-offs (e.g., ISOCO, 3SCALE, Intelligent Pharma and Sisltech) have been created as the result of one or more doctoral theses. Additionally, the Catalan Association for Artificial Intelligence (ACIA) is one of the most important in Europe.

• The doctoral programme in Artificial Intelligence stands out in Europe thanks to the research quality and output produced by its members, who participate in research projects financed with funds from the EU, Spain or other Spanish organisations and companies. Special mention should be given to the coordination of and participation in research projects involved with the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Framework Programmes (Share-it, Laboranova, Contract, Agencities.RTD, Alive, Superhub, etc.). At the UPC there are three established groups that have been acclaimed by the Government of Catalonia and another by the university itself. These groups are directly related to the programme, ensuring that it remains dynamic and maintains the scientific standards needed to keep it in such high standing. Additionally, as has been previously mentioned, these groups are very active when it comes to obtaining financing through EU calls, which ensures they have continuous contact with national and European businesses and a high level of internationalisation. Furthermore, other groups at the UPC regularly send students to study in the programme. The same is true with students from other universities, such as the URV and the CSIC’s Artificial Intelligence Research Institute.

• The UPC’s doctoral programme in Artificial Intelligence was given the Quality Award in 2003 (MCD2003-00129), which was renewed in the following years: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Among other recent accolades, it is worth noting that some of the programme’s theses have received awards:

• Two recent doctoral theses presented in the programme were given the Artificial Intelligence Dissertation Award (in 2010 and 2003). This is the only programme in all of Spain that has been given such distinctions. In Europe, there are two other examples: the doctoral programmes in artificial intelligence at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the J. Stefan Institute in Ljubljana.

• Furthermore, some of the programme’s distinguished former students include five ECCAI Fellows. Ours is one of the programmes that has produced the most Fellows in Europe. They are: Prof. Carlos Sierra (IIIA-CSIC), Enric Plaza (1) (IIIA-CSIC), Vicenç Torra (IIIA-CSIC), Pedro Messeguer (IIIA-CSIC) and Lluís Godó (IIIA-CSIC)

• Another of the programme’s theses was given the Best Thesis Award 2009 by the European Association for Machine Translation.

• Another was given the Joan Lluís Vives Prize 2003, the Barcelona City Research Prize 2003 and the Extraordinary Doctorate Prize by the UPC for the 2003-2004 academic year.

• Another was given the Chihuahua Research Prize 2002, by the state of Chihuahua, Mexico.

The doctoral programme in Artificial Intelligence falls into the field of information and communication technology (ICT), as does the research work carried out in the programme, and this represents one of the primary areas of research at the UPC. The education and training provided in the programme is intended to respond to one of the challenges posed by Catalonia’s 2010-2013 Research and Innovation Plan: Excellent and cutting-edge research and technology (see section 8, page 13). It is also intended to respond to the objectives of area 1—production of scientific and technological knowledge and competencies—of the National Scientific Research, Development and Technological Innovation Plan 2008-2011 (PN I+D+I).
From a technical and scientific point of view, some of the programme’s lines of research contribute to tackling other challenges included in Catalonia’s Research and Innovation Plan:
• Efficient flows of people and goods (sustainable mobility) and of information. The programme covers lines dealing with flows of information related to the accessibility and management of information, particularly in the contexts of algorithmics and programming.
• The new service society with consumer “serviproducts”. The programme incorporates lines of research related to the study and analysis of the structural and algorithmic aspects of social networks and heterogeneous computing networks (sensors, robots, mobile phones, etc.) that could play a crucial role in the development of new methodologies in this field. It also deals with the development of computer graphic technologies and those related to virtual and augmented reality.
• Healthcare and risk prevention. The programme incorporates lines of research related to biocomputing and medical visualisation.
With regard to the PN I+D+I and in line with the objectives of Strategic Action 4, the programme’s lines of research include the following: Telecommunications and the information society, with potential contributions to the following sub-lines:
1. Computing technologies
b) Advanced multi-modal interfaces.
c) Distributed and embedded systems.
d) Software engineering and information management.
e) Intelligent systems.
f) Free and open-source software.
8. Sector-specific applications, services and contents
a) Businesses and particularly SMEs. E-business, in its broadest sense.
b) Healthcare, social welfare and social inclusion, including broadband e-inclusion.
c) Security, in its broadest sense.
d) Transport, in its broadest sense.
Regarding the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme, from topic 3, Information and Communication Technologies, of the 2011-2012 Work Programme, the doctoral programme’s lines of research pertain to the planning, design and analysis of some of the developmental components of the challenges posed:
• Challenge 1: Pervasive and trusted network and service infrastructures
- tools and platforms for novel Internet application development
- key technological developments in networking, digital media and service infrastructures.
• Challenge 3: alternative paths to components and systems
- multicore computing systems
- embedded systems
- monitoring and control
- cooperating complex systems
• Challenge 4: technologies for digital content and languages
- online access and use of content and services
- reliability of retrieval and use of digital resources
- scaling up data analysis to keep pace with extremely large data volumes
• Challenge 5: ICT for health, ageing well, inclusion and governance. ICT for disease prediction, early diagnosis, prevention, minimally invasive treatment
Artificial intelligence is undoubtedly at the core of the technological and scientific development of other emblematic concepts and challenges, including “smart cities”, “greener technologies” and “living labs”.

General information

Access profile

There cannot be a specific profile for applicants to a programme in a discipline that is so horizontal, interdisciplinary and diverse as artificial intelligence. Areas of research and application range from biology and medicine to computational linguistics, artificial vision and robotic intelligence, to name a few of the extremes.

However, to provide an identifiable base of basic knowledge, applicants’ prior education and training should preferably have provided skills and abilities in research equivalent to those provided by the master’s degree programme in Artificial Intelligence, currently offered by the UPC, or to those provided by specialisations in Advanced Computation and Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality in the master’s degree programme in Innovation and Research in Informatics, which stems from the restructuring of master’s-level studies in ICT at the UPC.

The master’s degree programme in Artificial Intelligence also accepts students from a wide range of other scientific disciplines.

Output profile

Doctoral candidates who complete a doctoral degree will have acquired the following competencies, which are needed to carry out quality research (Royal Decree 99/2011, of 28 January, which regulates official doctoral studies):

a) A systematic understanding of the field of study and a mastery of the research skills and methods related to the field.
b) An ability to conceive, design or create, put into practice and adopt a substantial process of research or creation.
c) An ability to contribute to pushing back the frontiers of knowledge through original research.
d) A capacity for critical analysis and an ability to assess and summarise new and complex ideas.
e) An ability to communicate with the academic and scientific community and with society in general as regards their fields of knowledge in the manner and languages that are typical of the international scientific community to which they belong.
f) An ability to foster scientific, technological, social, artistic and cultural progress in academic and professional contexts within a knowledge-based society.

The award of a doctoral degree must equip the graduate for work in a variety of settings, especially those requiring creativity and innovation. Doctoral graduates must have at least acquired the personal skills needed to:

a) Develop in contexts in which there is little specific information.
b) Find the key questions that must be answered to solve a complex problem.

Duration of studies and dedication regime

Duration
The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is three years, counted from the date of admission to the programme to the date of submission of the doctoral thesis. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is five years, counting from the date of admission to the programme to the date of submission of the doctoral thesis. For calculating these periods, the date of admission is considered to be the date of the first enrolment for tutorials, and the date of submission the moment in which the Doctoral School officially deposits the doctoral thesis.

For full-time doctoral candidates, the minimum period of study is two years, counted from the date of an applicant's admission to the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited; for part-time doctoral candidates it is four years. When there are justified grounds for doing so, and the thesis supervisor and academic tutor have given their authorisation, doctoral candidates may request that the academic committee of their doctoral programme exempt them from the minimum period of study requirement.

The calculation of periods of study will not include periods of absence due to illness, pregnancy or any other reason provided for in the regulations in force. Students who find themselves in any of these circumstances must notify the academic committee of the doctoral programme, which, where appropriate, must inform the Doctoral School. Doctoral candidates may also temporarily withdraw from the programme for up to one year, and this period may be extended for an additional year. Doctoral candidates who wish to interrupt their studies must submit a justified request to the academic committee of the doctoral programme, which will decide whether or not to approve the request. Each programme will establish conditions for readmission to doctoral studies.

Extension
If full-time doctoral candidates have not applied to deposit their thesis by the end of the three-year period of study, the academic committee of the programme may authorise an extension of up to one year. In exceptional circumstances, a further one-year extension may be granted, subject to the conditions established by the corresponding doctoral programme. In the case of part-time doctoral candidates, an extension of two years may be authorised. In both cases, in exceptional circumstances a further one-year extension may be granted by the Doctoral School's Standing Committee, upon the submission of a reasoned application by the academic committee of the doctoral programme.

Dismissal from the doctoral programme
A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:

  • The doctoral candidate submitting a justified application to withdraw from the programme.
  • The maximum period of study and of extensions thereof ending.
  • The doctoral candidate not having enrolled every academic year (unless he or she has been authorised to temporarily withdraw).
  • The doctoral candidate failing two consecutive assessments.
  • The doctoral candidate having disciplinary proceedings filed against him or her that rule that he or she must be dismissed from the UPC.

Dismissal from the programme implies that doctoral candidates cannot continue studying at the UPC and the closing of their academic record. This notwithstanding, they may apply to the academic committee of the programme for readmission and the committee must reevaluate them in accordance with the criteria established in the regulations.

Access, admission and registration

Access profile

There cannot be a specific profile for applicants to a programme in a discipline that is so horizontal, interdisciplinary and diverse as artificial intelligence. Areas of research and application range from biology and medicine to computational linguistics, artificial vision and robotic intelligence, to name a few of the extremes.

However, to provide an identifiable base of basic knowledge, applicants’ prior education and training should preferably have provided skills and abilities in research equivalent to those provided by the master’s degree programme in Artificial Intelligence, currently offered by the UPC, or to those provided by specialisations in Advanced Computation and Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality in the master’s degree programme in Innovation and Research in Informatics, which stems from the restructuring of master’s-level studies in ICT at the UPC.

The master’s degree programme in Artificial Intelligence also accepts students from a wide range of other scientific disciplines.

Access requirements

Applicants must hold a Spanish bachelor’s degree or equivalent and a Spanish master’s degree or equivalent, provided they have completed a minimum of 300 ECTS credits on the two degrees (Royal Decree 43/2015, of 2 February)

In addition, the following may apply:

  • Holders of an official degree awarded by a university in Spain or any other country in the European Higher Education Area, pursuant to the provisions of Article 16 of Royal Decree 1393/2007, of 29 October, which establishes official university course regulations, who have completed a minimum of 300 ECTS credits on official university degrees, of which at least 60 must be at the master's degree level.
  • Holders of an official Spanish bachelor’s degree comprising at least 300 credits, as provided for by EU regulations. Holder of degrees of this kind must complete bridging courses unless the curriculum of the bachelor’s degree in question included research training credits equivalent in value to those which would be earned on a master's degree.
  • Holders of an official university qualification who, having passed the entrance examination for specialised medical training, have completed at least two years of a training course leading to an official degree in a health-sciences specialisation.
  • Holders of a degree issued under a foreign education system. In these cases, homologation is not required, but the UPC must verify that the degree certifies a level of training equivalent to an official Spanish master's degree and qualifies the holder for admission to doctoral studies in the country where it was issued. Admission on this basis does not imply homologation of the foreign degree or its recognition for any purpose other than admission to doctoral studies.
  • Holders of a Spanish doctoral qualification issued under previous university regulations.
  • Note 1: Doctoral studies entrance regulations for holders of an undergraduate degree awarded before the introduction of the EHEA (CG 47/02 2014)

    Note 2: Governing Council Decision 64/2014, which approves the procedure and criteria for assessing the fulfilment of academic admission requirements for doctoral studies by holders of non-homologated foreign degrees (CG 25/03 2014)

Admission criteria and merits assessment

Aspiring doctors in Artificial Intelligence should have academic (master’s) and professional backgrounds that show that they have the academic and intellectual capacities and the consistency needed to ensure that they can successfully complete their studies in a timely fashion.

The programme will assess candidates on the following criteria:

 • Academic transcripts for all university degree programmes taken.
 • Publications (if applicable).
 • Research experience (if applicable).
 • CV.
 • Appropriateness of research interests with the programmes lines of research and the applicant’s background.
 • Other merits.

All of those who are admitted to the doctoral programme will be expected to be able to understand technical texts written in English and easily follow courses and conferences in English. Candidates will have to demonstrate that they possess a knowledge of the English language equal to a B1 level as per the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, both spoken and written, in the timeframes and manners determined by the Academic Committee.

Weighting of criteria:
The Academic Committee of the doctoral programme will be in charge of the process of selecting and admitting candidates. This selection process will be based on a scale that will give priority to the following aspects:

- applicants’ academic transcripts (60%)
- verifiable knowledge of the English language (20%).
- previous experience (20%).

Training complements

The academic committee for the programme may require that doctoral students pass specific bridging courses. In this case, the Committee will monitor the bridging courses and set up appropriate criteria to limit their length.

The courses could involve training in research or transversal education, but in no case will candidates be required to enrol in 60 or more ECTS credits.

Depending on the activities completed by the candidates, the programme’s Academic Committee may propose measures, in addition to those established by current regulations, that would disassociate candidates who do not meet the established requisites.

If necessary, the bridging courses required will be determined by the academic tutors following the recommendations given to each student during the admission process. Recommended courses will be those offered through the joint master’s degree programme in Artificial Intelligence.

Monitoring and evaluation of the doctoral student

Procedure for the preparation and defense of the research plan

Doctoral candidates must submit a research plan, which will be included in their doctoral student activity report, before the end of the first year. The plan may be improved over the course of the doctoral degree. It must be endorsed by the tutor and the supervisor, and it must include the method that is to be followed and the aims of the research.

At least one of these annual assessments will include a public presentation and defence of the research plan and work done before a committee composed of three doctoral degree holders, which will be conducted in the manner determined by each academic committee. The examination committee awards a Pass or Fail mark. A Pass mark is a prerequisite for continuing on the doctoral programme. Doctoral candidates awarded a Fail mark must submit a new research plan for assessment by the academic committee of the doctoral programme within six months.

The committee assesses the research plan every year, in addition to all of the other activities in the doctoral student activity report. Doctoral candidates who are awarded two consecutive Fail marks for the research plan will be obliged to definitely withdraw from the programme.

If they change the subject of their thesis, they must submit a new research plan.

Formation activities

1. Tutorials (meetings with the supervisor), approximately 288 hours (the exact number and frequency will be defined by the supervisor), mandatory.

2. Artificial Intelligence Seminar, approximately 30 hours (depending on participants’ availability), optional.

3. Theoretical-Scientific Seminar, approximately 30 hours (depending on participants’ availability), optional.

4. Intensive courses, approximately 30 hours (depending on professors’ availability), optional.

5. International scientific meetings (conferences, workshops, schools, etc.), approximately 24 hours, optional.

Procedure for assignment of tutor and thesis director

The academic committee of the doctoral programme assigns a thesis supervisor to each doctoral candidate when they are admitted or enrol for the first time, taking account of the thesis supervision commitment referred to in the admission decision.

The thesis supervisor will ensure that training activities carried out by the doctoral candidate are coherent and suitable, and that the topic of the candidate’s doctoral thesis will have an impact and make a novel contribution to knowledge in the relevant field. The thesis supervisor will also guide the doctoral candidate in planning the thesis and, if necessary, tailoring it to any other projects or activities undertaken. The thesis supervisor will generally be a UPC professor or researcher who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience. This includes PhD-holding staff at associated schools (as determined by the Governing Council) and UPC-affiliated research institutes (in accordance with corresponding collaboration and affiliation agreements). When thesis supervisors are UPC staff members, they also act as the doctoral candidate’s tutor.

PhD holders who do not meet these criteria (as a result of their contractual relationship or the nature of the institution to which they are attached) must be approved by the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee in order to participate in a doctoral programme as researchers with documented research experience.

The academic committee of the doctoral programme may approve the appointment of a PhD-holding expert who is not a UPC staff member as a candidate’s thesis supervisor. In such cases, the prior authorisation of the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee is required. A UPC staff member who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience must also be proposed to act as a co-supervisor, or as the doctoral candidate’s tutor if one has not been assigned.

A thesis supervisor may step down from this role if there are justified reasons (recognised as valid by the committee) for doing so. If this occurs, the academic committee of the doctoral programme will assign the doctoral candidate a new thesis supervisor.

Provided there are justified reasons for doing so, and after hearing any relevant input from the doctoral candidate, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may assign a new thesis supervisor at any time during the period of doctoral study.

If there are academic reasons for doing so (an interdisciplinary topic, joint or international programmes, etc.) and the academic committee of the programme gives its approval, an additional thesis supervisor may be assigned. Supervisors and co-supervisors have the same responsibilities and academic recognition.

The maximum number of supervisors of a doctoral thesis is two: a supervisor and a co-supervisor.

For theses carried out under a cotutelle agreement or as part of an Industrial Doctorate, if necessary and if the agreement foresees it this maximum number of supervisors may not apply. This notwithstanding, the maximum number of supervisors belonging to the UPC is two.

More information at the PhD theses section

Permanence

The academic committee of the programme may authorise an extension of up to one year for full-time doctoral candidates who have not applied to deposit their thesis by the end of the three-year period of study, in the terms outlined in the Academic Regulations for Doctoral Studies of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. In the case of part-time candidates, an extension of two years may be authorised. In both cases, in exceptional circumstances a further one-year extension may be granted by the Doctoral School's Standing Committee, upon the submission of a reasoned application by the academic committee of the doctoral programme.

A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:

  • The doctoral candidate submitting a justified application to withdraw from the programme.
  • The maximum period of study and of extensions thereof ending.
  • The doctoral candidate not having enrolled every academic year (unless he or she has been authorised to temporarily withdraw).
  • The doctoral candidate failing two consecutive assessments.
  • The doctoral candidate having disciplinary proceedings filed against him or her that rule that he or she must be dismissed from the UPC.

Dismissal from the programme implies that doctoral candidates cannot continue studying at the UPC and the closing of their academic record. This notwithstanding, they may apply to the academic committee of the programme for readmission and the committee must reevaluate them in accordance with the criteria established in the regulations.

International Mention

The doctoral degree certificate may include International Doctorate mention. In this case, the doctoral candidate must meet the following requirements:

a) During the period of study leading to the award of the doctoral degree, the doctoral candidate must have spent at least three months at a respected higher education institution or research centre outside Spain to complete courses or do research work. The stays and activities carried out must be endorsed by the thesis supervisor and authorised by the academic committee of the programme. The candidate must provide a certifying document issued by the person responsible for the research group of the body or bodies where the stay or activity was completed. This information will be added to the doctoral student’s activity report.
b) Part of the thesis (at least the summary and conclusions) must be written and presented in one of the languages commonly used for science communication in the relevant field of knowledge, which must not be an official language of Spain. This rule does not apply to stays and reports in Spanish or to experts from Spanish-speaking countries.
c) At least two PhD-holding experts belonging to a higher education institution or research centre outside Spain must have issued officially certified reports on the thesis.
d) The thesis examination committee must have included at least one PhD-holding expert from a higher education or research institution outside Spain who was not responsible for the candidate’s stay abroad (point a) above).
e) The thesis defence must have taken place on UPC premises or, in the case of joint programmes, at the location specified in the collaboration agreement.

Learning resources

Space for grant holders, study rooms, computing equipment and programmes provided by the Computer Science Department, additional resources provided by research groups participating in the programme.

The Academic Committee of the doctoral programme will encourage candidates to participate in mobility programmes on the regional, country, and European levels and in research groups working on projects at the international level, whether via integrated actions or on European projects. Such participation has been and will continue to be one of the major points of internationalisation in the programme.

    Thesis abstract: The topic of this thesis is the engineering of values for autonomous agents. This is realised through the formulation, design and implementation of new functionalities for autonomous agents that enable reasoning in terms of values. In particular, we argue for the role of prescriptive norms as value-promoting mechanisms. Hence, value-driven agents should be able to autonomously determine which regulations (such as obligations, permissions or prohibitions) make the Multiagent System they inhabit better promote some values of interest. We lay the foundations of our work on Schwartz¿s Theory of Basic Human Values to establish a consequential connection between values and norms, considering that norms are aligned with respect to values if the outcomes they incentivise satisfy the goals that capture the meaning of values in a particular context. Another feature of Schwartz¿s theory that has been previously overlooked in the literature is the strong social dimension of values. That is, agents should be able to reason not just in terms of their own, but also of the values of others in their community. This points to Theory of Mind (i.e. the cognitive ability to perceive, interpret and reason about others in terms of their mental states) as an outstanding component of value-based reasoning.This thesis is structured around three main contributions (published in journal papers) plus their integration. The first contribution establishes the normvalue relationship as a consequential one in nature, and proposes a methodology for the automated synthesis and analysis of optimally value-aligned normative systems. The second contribution tackles the limitations of the first, and defines the Action Situation Language to systematically express a wide range of rules that may be implemented in a Multiagent System. This language is complemented by a game engine that automatically interprets interaction descriptions and builds their semantics as Extensive Form Games, which are later analysed with standard game-theoretical tools. This leads to a distribution over game outcomes, which are evaluated in terms of their desirability with respect to values. The third contribution introduces Theory of Mind-related functionalities into an existing Belief-Desire-Intention agent architecture, and combines them with abductive reasoning capabilities.The three contributions are integrated in a novel functionality that enables agents to reason about prescriptive norms in terms of dynamic values. This means that an autonomous agent can, at runtime, switch its value perspective to the one it estimates that another agent has. Such perspective-dependent value-based normative reasoning functionality, with its inherent social orientation, constitutes a novel contribution to the community of values for autonomous agents and paves the way for possible applications such as value-based negotiation over normative systems. In summary, value engineering is a principled and systematic approach to computational ethics, which provides an innovative tool set for integrating ethical values into the design of autonomous agents.

    Thesis abstract: The recent technological advances in high-throughput sequencing have yielded vast amounts of large-scale biological omics data that describe different aspects of cellular functioning. These omics data are typically modelled and analyzed as networks. Due to the high dimensionality of biological networks, embeddings are a cornerstone in the analysis of such complex networks. Embedding biological networks is challenging, as it involves capturing both topological (similar wiring patterns) and neighborhood-based similarity of the nodes. However, current network embedding algorithms do not preserve both types of similarity, which limits the information preserved in the embedding space. Moreover, the existing methods for analyzing the embedding space of molecular networks use the vectors of the biological entities as the input for computationally intensive ML models that aid downstream analysis tasks. In contrast, in the field of NLP, they mine the word embedding space directly by doing simple linear operations between the word embedding vectors. In this thesis, following the NLP paradigm, we mine biological knowledge directly from the embedding space, and we identify the properties of a space that make it suitable for linear operations.In network biology, Non-Negative Matrix Tri Factorization (NMTF) is extensively used to embed networks in a low-dimensional space because it is an explainable AI method that also enables the joint representation of different networks in a shared space. We demonstrate the power of the NMTF-based data integration in the context of COVID-19 by applying two integration frameworks to identify COVID-19 related genes and prioritize drugs for repurposing targeting their gene products. Our newly identified genes could not have been identified with either network-medicine or differential expression based approaches that rely on a single type of omic data.Then, to extract new biological knowledge based on linear operations, we introduce two NLP inspired network representations: the Positive Pointwise Mutual Information (PPMI) matrix and the Graphlet Degree Vector (GDV) PPMI matrix. The PPMI matrix captures the neighborhood-based similarities of the nodes based on random walks between adjacent nodes, while the GDV PPMI matrix, the topological ones by using random walks between similarly wired nodes, independent of being adjacent. As a showcase, we represent the nodes of the human PPI network with our GDV PPMI and PPMI matrix and generate the embedding spaces by factorizing these matrices with NMTF. We show that genes embedded close in these spaces have similar biological functions, so we can extract new biomedical knowledge directly by doing linear operations on their embedded vectors. We exploit this property to predict genes participating in protein complexes and to identify cancer-related genes based on the cosine similarities between the vector representations of the genes.We also go beyond embeddings that preserve one type of similarity by introducing novel random-walk based network embeddings that incorporate the graphlets (small, connected and induced subgraphs) into DeepWalk and LINE methods. We use the graphlets that leverage both topological and neighbourhood-based similarity as the context for the random walks. In a graphlet-based random walk, a node can visit any other nodes that simultaneously participate in the given graphlet. We show that in the graphlet-based representations of the networks, more adjacent nodes have the same label (i.e., the nodes are grouped in a more homophilic way) than in the standard random walk representations. Then we factorize these matrices with NMTF and show that the more homophilic the network representation, the more functionally organized is the corresponding embedding space, and thus the downstream analysis tasks are better. Our new graphlet-based methodologies embed networks in linear spaces, alleviating the need for computationally expensive ML methods.

Quality

The Validation, Monitoring, Modification and Accreditation Framework (VSMA Framework) for official degrees ties the quality assurance processes (validation, monitoring, modification and accreditation) carried out over the lifetime of a course to two objectives—the goal of establishing coherent links between these processes, and that of achieving greater efficiency in their management—all with the overarching aim of improving programmes.
