Hierarchical and associational feature representation in Cox-PASNet. For instance, Jak-STAT signaling pathway shows active status, which is associated to PI. The significance of the genes (i.e. AKT1 and AKT3) involved in the Jak-STAT signaling pathway can be ranked by the average absolute partial derivatives with respect to the gene layer. A set of the active pathways are represented in an active Node 19 in the following hidden layers, which improves the survival prediction
