Machine Learning-Assisted Gene Set Enrichment Analysis
Machine learning-assisted gene set enrichment analysis (ML-GSEA) extends the classical GSEA framework by incorporating supervised or unsupervised ML models — such as random forests, neural networks, or deep learning architectures — to improve the detection, ranking, and biological interpretation of enriched gene sets from high-throughput expression data. The approach is particularly valuable for complex, non-linear gene-set relationships that classical enrichment statistics may miss.
