Abstract
Background/Objectives: Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) diagnostic tools have shown excellent performance in diagnosing gastric mesenchymal tumors. This study aimed to assess whether incorporating clinical and endoscopic factors into AI-assisted EUS classification models based on digital image analysis could improve the diagnostic performance of AI-assisted EUS diagnostic tools. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 464 patients who underwent both EUS and surgical resection of gastric mesenchymal tumors, including 294 gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), 52 leiomyomas, and 41 schwannomas. AI-assisted classification models for GISTs and non-GIST tumors were developed utilizing clinical and endoscopic factors and digital EUS image analysis. Results: Regarding the baseline EUS classification models, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) values of the logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, K-nearest neighbor (KNN), and support vector machine (SVM) models were 0.805, 0.673, 0.781, 0.740, and 0.791, respectively. Using the new classification models incorporating clinical and endoscopic factors into the baseline classification models, the AUC values of the logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, KNN, and SVM models increased to 0.853, 0.715, 0.896, 0.825, and 0.794, respectively. In particular, the random forest and KNN models exhibited significant improvement in performance in Delong's test (both p < 0.001). Conclusion: The diagnostic performance of the AI-assisted EUS classification models improved when clinical and endoscopic factors were incorporated. Our results provided direction for developing new AI-assisted EUS models for gastric mesenchymal tumors.

Physical frailty identification using machine learning to explore the 5-item FRAIL scale, Cardiovascular Health Study index, and Study of Osteoporotic Fractures index. Front Public Health 2024; 12:1303958. [PMID: 38784574 PMCID: PMC11112059 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2024.1303958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Physical frailty is an important issue in aging societies. Three models of physical frailty assessment, the 5-Item fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness and loss of weight (FRAIL); Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS); and Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF) indices, have been regularly used in clinical and research studies. However, no previous studies have investigated the predictive ability of machine learning (ML) for physical frailty assessment. The aim was to use two ML algorithms, random forest (RF) and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), to predict these three physical frailty assessment models. Materials and methods Questionnaires regarding demographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, living environment, and physical frailty assessment were answered by 445 participants aged 60 years and above. The RF and XGBoost algorithms were used to assess their scores for the three physical frailty indices. Furthermore, feature importance and Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) were used to determine the important physical frailty factors. Results The XGBoost algorithm obtained higher accuracy for predicting the three physical frailty indices; the areas under the curve obtained by the XGBoost algorithm for the 5-Item FRAIL, CHS, and SOF indices were 0.84. 0.79, and 0.69, respectively. The feature importance and SHAP of the XGBoost algorithm revealed that systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, age, and body mass index play important roles in all three physical frailty models. Conclusion The XGBoost algorithm has a more accurate predictive rate than RF across all three physical frailty assessments. Thus, ML can be a useful tool for the early detection of physical frailty.

Abstract
Launched in 2016, the PMUY Programme of the Government of India aimed to provide 8 crore LPG connections to women in rural households over four years. After acquiring a new connection, some households appeared uninterested in ordering subsequent subsidized LPG refills, impacting programme's sustainability, and targeting strategy. We propose a prediction model using "Explainable Machine Learning" to anticipate the beneficiaries' refill frequency with a view to improving LPG-refills and social targeting. In this paper, we suggest an enhanced stacked SVM (ISS) model for classification, which is contrasted with state-of-art ML models: Random Forest (RF), SVM-RBF, Naive Bayes (NB), and Decision Tree (C5.0). Some of the performance matrices that are used to evaluate the models include accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, Cohen's Kappa statistics, Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC), and area under the curve (AUC). The proposed approach, which was validated with 10-fold cross validation, produced the best overall accuracies for data splits of 50-50, 66-34, and 80-20. The "Explainable AI (XAI)" model has also been used to describe how models and features interact, and to discuss the importance of features and their contributions to prediction. The recommended XAI will aid in efficient "beneficiary targeting" and "policy interventions".

Ji S. SSC: The novel self-stack ensemble model for thyroid disease prediction. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0295501.

Abstract
Thyroid disease presents a significant health risk, lowering the quality of life and increasing treatment costs. The diagnosis of thyroid disease can be challenging, especially for inexperienced practitioners. Machine learning has been established as one of the methods for disease diagnosis based on previous studies. This research introduces a novel and more effective technique for predicting thyroid disease by utilizing machine learning methodologies, surpassing the performance of previous studies in this field. This study utilizes the UCI thyroid disease dataset, which consists of 9172 samples and 30 features, and exhibits a highly imbalanced target class distribution. However, machine learning algorithms trained on imbalanced thyroid disease data face challenges in reliably detecting minority data and disease. To address this issue, re-sampling is employed, which modifies the ratio between target classes to balance the data. In this study, the down-sampling approach is utilized to achieve a balanced distribution of target classes. A novel RF-based self-stacking classifier is presented in this research for efficient thyroid disease detection. The proposed approach demonstrates the ability to diagnose primary hypothyroidism, increased binding protein, compensated hypothyroidism, and concurrent non-thyroidal illness with an accuracy of 99.5%. The recommended model exhibits state-of-the-art performance, achieving 100% macro precision, 100% macro recall, and 100% macro F1-score. A thorough comparative assessment is conducted to demonstrate the viability of the proposed approach, including several machine learning classifiers, deep neural networks, and ensemble voting classifiers. The results of K-fold cross-validation provide further support for the efficacy of the proposed self-stacking classifier.

Abstract
Background Two-stage breast reconstruction is a common technique used to restore preoperative appearance in patients undergoing mastectomy. However, capsular contracture may develop and lead to implant failure and significant morbidity. The objective of this study is to build a machine-learning model that can determine the risk of developing contracture formation after two-stage breast reconstruction. Methods A total of 209 women (406 samples) were included in the study cohort. Patient characteristics that were readily accessible at the preoperative visit and details pertaining to the surgical approach were used as input data for the machine-learning model. Supervised learning models were assessed using 5-fold cross validation. A neural network model is also evaluated using a 0.8/0.1/0.1 train/validate/test split. Results Among the subjects, 144 (35.47%) developed capsular contracture. Older age, smaller nipple-inframammary fold distance, retropectoral implant placement, synthetic mesh usage, and postoperative radiation increased the odds of capsular contracture (p < 0.05). The neural network achieved the best performance metrics among the models tested, with a test accuracy of 0.82 and area under receiver operative curve of 0.79. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first study that uses a neural network to predict the development of capsular contraction after two-stage implant-based reconstruction. At the preoperative visit, surgeons may counsel high-risk patients on the potential need for further revisions or guide them toward autologous reconstruction.

Abstract
N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) is a modification of cytidine at the nitrogen-4 position, playing a significant role in the translation process of mRNA. However, the precise mechanism and details of how ac4C modifies translated mRNA remain unclear. Since identifying ac4C sites using conventional experimental methods is both labor-intensive and time-consuming, there is an urgent need for a method that can promptly recognize ac4C sites. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive ensemble learning model, the Stacking-based heterogeneous integrated ac4C model, engineered explicitly to identify ac4C sites. This innovative model integrates three distinct feature extraction methodologies: Kmer, electron-ion interaction pseudo-potential values (PseEIIP), and pseudo-K-tuple nucleotide composition (PseKNC). The model also incorporates the robust Cluster Centroids algorithm to enhance its performance in dealing with imbalanced data and alleviate underfitting issues. Our independent testing experiments indicate that our proposed model improves the Mcc by 15.61% and the ROC by 5.97% compared to existing models. To test our model's adaptability, we also utilized a balanced dataset assembled by the authors of iRNA-ac4C. Our model showed an increase in Sn of 4.1%, an increase in Acc of nearly 1%, and ROC improvement of 0.35% on this balanced dataset. The code for our model is freely accessible at https://github.com/louliliang/ST-ac4C.git, allowing users to quickly build their model without dealing with complicated mathematical equations.

Abstract
Tropomyosin receptor kinases (TRKs) are important broad-spectrum anticancer targets. The oncogenic rearrangement of the NTRK gene disrupts the extracellular structural domain and epitopes for therapeutic antibodies, making small-molecule inhibitors essential for treating NTRK fusion-driven tumors. In this work, several algorithms were used to construct descriptor-based and nondescriptor-based models, and the models were evaluated by outer 10-fold cross-validation. To find a model with good generalization ability, the dataset was partitioned by random and cluster-splitting methods to construct in- and cross-domain models, respectively. Among the 48 models built, the model with the combination of the deep neural network (DNN) algorithm and extended connectivity fingerprints 4 (ECFP4) descriptors achieved excellent performance in both dataset divisions. The results indicate that the DNN algorithm has a strong generalization prediction ability, and the richness of features plays a vital role in predicting unknown spatial molecules. Additionally, we combined the clustering results and decision tree models of fingerprint descriptors to perform structure-activity relationship analysis. It was found that nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic and benzo heterocyclic structures play a crucial role in enhancing the activity of TRK inhibitors.

Abstract
Current shading strategies used to protect outdoor playgrounds from harmful solar radiation include the placement of artificial cloth weaves or permanent roofing over a playground site, planting trees in proximity to playground equipment, and using vegetation or surface texture variations to cool playground surfaces. How and where an artificial shade structure is placed or a tree is planted to maximize the shade protection over specific playground areas, requires careful assessment of local seasonal sun exposure patterns. The Playground Shade Index (PSI) is introduced here as a design metric to enable shade and solar ultraviolet exposure patterns to be derived in an outdoor space using conventional aerial views of suburban park maps. The implementation of the PSI is demonstrated by incorporating a machine learning design tool to classify the position of trees from an aerial image, thus enabling the mapping of seasonal shade and ultraviolet exposure patterns within an existing 7180 m2 parkland. This is achieved by modeling the relative position of the sun with respect to nearby buildings, shade structures, and the identified evergreen and deciduous tree species surrounding an outdoor playground.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously developed grading metrics for quantitative performance measurement for simulated endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) to create a scalar reference to classify subjects into experts and novices. In this work, we used synthetic data generation and expanded our skill level analysis using machine learning techniques. METHODS We used the synthetic data generation algorithm SMOTE to expand and balance our dataset of seven actual simulated ESG procedures using synthetic data. We performed optimization to seek optimum metrics to classify experts and novices by identifying the most critical and distinctive sub-tasks. We used support vector machine (SVM), AdaBoost, K-nearest neighbors (KNN) Kernel Fisher discriminant analysis (KFDA), random forest, and decision tree classifiers to classify surgeons as experts or novices after grading. Furthermore, we used an optimization model to create weights for each task and separate the clusters by maximizing the distance between the expert and novice scores. RESULTS We split our dataset into a training set of 15 samples and a testing dataset of five samples. We put this dataset through six classifiers, SVM, KFDA, AdaBoost, KNN, random forest, and decision tree, resulting in 0.94, 0.94, 1.00, 1.00, 1.00, and 1.00 accuracy, respectively, for training and 1.00 accuracy for the testing results for SVM and AdaBoost. Our optimization model maximized the distance between the expert and novice groups from 2 to 53.72. CONCLUSION This paper shows that feature reduction, in combination with classification algorithms such as SVM and KNN, can be used in tandem to classify endoscopists as experts or novices based on their results recorded using our grading metrics. Furthermore, this work introduces a non-linear constraint optimization to separate the two clusters and find the most important tasks using weights.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most frequent endocrinological anomaly in reproductive women that causes persistent hormonal secretion disruption, leading to the formation of numerous cysts within the ovaries and serious health complications. But the real-world clinical detection technique for PCOS is very critical since the accuracy of interpretations being substantially dependent on the physician's expertise. Thus, an artificially intelligent PCOS prediction model might be a feasible additional technique to the error prone and time-consuming diagnostic technique. In this study, a modified ensemble machine learning (ML) classification approach is proposed utilizing state-of-the-art stacking technique for PCOS identification with patients' symptom data; employing five traditional ML models as base learners and then one bagging or boosting ensemble ML model as the meta-learner of the stacked model. Furthermore, three distinct types of feature selection strategies are applied to pick different sets of features with varied numbers and combinations of attributes. To evaluate and explore the dominant features necessary for predicting PCOS, the proposed technique with five variety of models and other ten types of classifiers is trained, tested and assessed utilizing different feature sets. As outcomes, the proposed stacking ensemble technique significantly enhances the accuracy in comparison to the other existing ML based techniques in case of all varieties of feature sets. However, among various models investigated to categorize PCOS and non-PCOS patients, the stacking ensemble model with 'Gradient Boosting' classifier as meta learner outperforms others with 95.7% accuracy while utilizing the top 25 features selected using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) feature selection technique.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide, which causes an enormous number of deaths annually. However, early diagnosis of breast cancer can improve survival outcomes enabling simpler and more cost-effective treatments. The recent increase in data availability provides unprecedented opportunities to apply data-driven and machine learning methods to identify early-detection prognostic factors capable of predicting the expected survival and potential sensitivity to treatment of patients, with the final aim of enhancing clinical outcomes. This tutorial presents a protocol for applying machine learning models in survival analysis for both clinical and transcriptomic data. We show that integrating clinical and mRNA expression data is essential to explain the multiple biological processes driving cancer progression. Our results reveal that machine-learning-based models such as random survival forests, gradient boosted survival model, and survival support vector machine can outperform the traditional statistical methods, i.e., Cox proportional hazard model. The highest C-index among the machine learning models was recorded when using survival support vector machine, with a value 0.688, whereas the C-index recorded using the Cox model was 0.677. Shapley Additive Explanation (SHAP) values were also applied to identify the feature importance of the models and their impact on the prediction outcomes.

ANN-Based Discernment of Septic and Inflammatory Synovial Fluid: A Novel Method Using Viscosity Data from a QCR Sensor. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 22:9413. [PMID: 36502129 PMCID: PMC9740680 DOI: 10.3390/s22239413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The synovial fluid (SF) analysis involves a series of chemical and physical studies that allow opportune diagnosing of septic, inflammatory, non-inflammatory, and other pathologies in joints. Among the variety of analyses to be performed on the synovial fluid, the study of viscosity can help distinguish between these conditions, since this property is affected in pathological cases. The problem with viscosity measurement is that it usually requires a large sample volume, or the necessary instrumentation is bulky and expensive. This study compares the viscosity of normal synovial fluid samples with samples with infectious and inflammatory pathologies and classifies them using an ANN (Artificial Neural Network). For this purpose, a low-cost, portable QCR-based sensor (10 MHz) was used to measure the viscous responses of the samples by obtaining three parameters: Δf, ΔΓ (parameters associated with the viscoelastic properties of the fluid), and viscosity calculation. These values were used to train the algorithm. Different versions of the ANN were compared, along with other models, such as SVM and random forest. Thirty-three samples of SF were analyzed. Our study suggests that the viscosity characterized by our sensor can help distinguish infectious synovial fluid, and that implementation of ANN improves the accuracy of synovial fluid classification.

Using Machine Learning to Explore the Crucial Factors of Assistive Technology Assessments: Cases of Wheelchairs. Healthcare (Basel) 2022; 10:healthcare10112238. [DOI: 10.3390/healthcare10112238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Revised: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The global population is gradually entering an aging society; chronic diseases and functional disabilities have increased, thereby increasing the number of people with limitations. Therefore, the demand for assistive devices has increased substantially. Due to numerous and complex types of assistive devices, an assessment by a professional therapist is required to help the individual find a suitable assistive device. According to actual site data, the assessment needs of “wheelchairs” accounted for most of the cases. Therefore, this study identified five key evaluation characteristics (head condition, age, pelvic condition, cognitive ability, and judgment) for “transit wheelchairs” and “reclining and tilting wheelchairs” from the diagnostic records of “wheelchairs” using the classification and regression trees (CART) decision tree algorithm. Furthermore, the study established an evaluation model through the Naïve Bayes classification method and obtained an accuracy rate of 72.0% after a 10-fold cross-validation. Finally, the study considered users’ convenience and combined it with a LINE BOT to allow the user or the user’s family to engage in self-evaluation. Preliminary suggestions for wheelchair types were given through the assessment model so that evaluators could not only determine a case’s situation in advance and reduce the time required for fixed-point or home assessments, but also help cases find the appropriate wheelchair type more easily and quickly.

A novel metaheuristic optimisation approach for text sentiment analysis. INT J MACH LEARN CYB 2022.

Abstract
AbstractAutomated sentiment analysis is considered an area in natural language processing research that seeks to understand a text author's mood, thoughts, and feelings. New opportunities and challenges have arisen in this field due to the popularity and accessibility of a variety of resources of ideas, such as online review websites, personal blogs, and social media. Feature selection, which can be conducted using metaheuristic algorithms, is one of the steps of sentiment analysis. It is crucial to use high-performing algorithms for feature selection. This paper applies the Horse herd Optimisation Algorithm (HOA) for feature selection in text sentiment analysis. HOA is a metaheuristic algorithm and uses six key behaviours to simulate the social performance of horses of various ages, to solve high-dimensional optimisation problems. In order to improve HOA, this paper adds another behaviour of horses to the basic algorithm; thus, the new algorithm uses seven key behaviours of horses of different ages to imitate their social performance. It is then discretised and converted to a multi-objective algorithm. The improved algorithm's performance is evaluated using 15 CEC benchmark functions, and the results are compared to the Binary Social Spider Algorithm, the Binary Grey Wolf Optimizer, and the Binary Butterfly Optimization Algorithm. The new algorithm, the Multi-objective Binary Horse herd Optimisation Algorithm (MBHOA), excels at solving high-dimensional complex problems. To evaluate the algorithm's performance in feature selection, as a practical example, it is employed in text sentiment analysis and examined on various data sets. The simulation results indicate that MBHOA has a better performance in analysing sentiment compared to similar approaches.

Neural-Symbolic Ensemble Learning for early-stage prediction of critical state of Covid-19 patients. Med Biol Eng Comput 2022; 60:3461-3474.

Abstract
Recently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have been successfully applied to many domains of interest including medical diagnosis. Due to the availability of a large quantity of data, it is possible to build reliable AI systems that assist humans in making decisions. The recent Covid-19 pandemic quickly spread over the world causing serious health problems and severe economic and social damage. Computer scientists are actively working together with doctors on different ML models to diagnose Covid-19 patients using Computed Tomography (CT) scans and clinical data. In this work, we propose a neural-symbolic system that predicts if a Covid-19 patient arriving at the hospital will end in a critical condition. The proposed system relies on Deep 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (3D-CNNs) for analyzing lung CT scans of Covid-19 patients, Decision Trees (DTs) for predicting if a Covid-19 patient will eventually pass away by analyzing its clinical data, and a neural system that integrates the previous ones using Hierarchical Probabilistic Logic Programs (HPLPs). Predicting if a Covid-19 patient will end in a critical condition is useful for managing the limited number of intensive care at the hospital. Moreover, knowing early that a Covid-19 patient could end in serious conditions allows doctors to gain early knowledge on patients and provide special treatment to those predicted to finish in critical conditions. The proposed system, entitled Neural HPLP, obtains good performance in terms of area under the receiver operating characteristic and precision curves with values of about 0.96 for both metrics. Therefore, with Neural HPLP, it is possible not only to efficiently predict if Covid-19 patients will end in severe conditions but also possible to provide an explanation of the prediction. This makes Neural HPLP explainable, interpretable, and reliable. Representation of Neural HPLP. From top to bottom, the two different types of data collected from the same patient and used in this project are represented. This data feeds the two different machine learning systems and the integration of the two systems using Hierarchical Probabilistic Logic Program. ![]()

Abstract
Lung cancer is a deadly disease with a high mortality rate. Endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) is one of the methods for detecting pulmonary lesions. Computer-aided diagnosis of pulmonary lesions from images can help radiologists to classify lesions; however, most of the existing methods need a large volume of data to give good results. Thus, this paper proposes a novel pulmonary lesion classification framework for EBUS images that works well with small datasets. The proposed framework integrates the statistical results from three classification models using the weighted ensemble classification. The three classification models include the radiomics feature and patient data-based model, the single-image-based model, and the multi-patch-based model. The radiomics features are combined with the patient data to be used as input data for the random forest, whereas the EBUS images are used as input data to the other two CNN models. The performance of the proposed framework was evaluated on a set of 200 EBUS images consisting of 124 malignant lesions and 76 benign lesions. The experimental results show that the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and area under the curve are 95.00%, 100%, 86.67%, 92.59%, 100%, and 93.33%, respectively. This framework can significantly improve the pulmonary lesion classification.

Abstract
Gender recognition by voice is a vital research subject in speech processing and acoustics, as human voices have many remarkable characteristics. Voice recognition is beneficial in a variety of applications, including mobile health care systems, interactive systems, crime analysis, and recognition systems. Several algorithms for voice recognition have been developed, but there is still potential for development in terms of the system’s accuracy and efficiency. Recent research has focused on combining ensemble learning with a variety of machine learning models in order to create more accurate classifiers. In this paper, a stacked ensemble for gender voice recognition model is presented, using four classifiers, namely, k-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), stochastic gradient descent (SGD), and logistic regression (LR) as base classifiers and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) as meta classifier. The dataset used includes 3168 instances and 21 features, where 20 features are the predictors, and one feature is the target. Several prediction evaluation metrics, including precision, accuracy, recall, F1 score, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), were computed to verify the execution of the proposed model. The results obtained illustrated that the stacked model achieved better results compared to other conventional machine learning models. The stacked model achieved high accuracy with 99.64%.

Abstract
Trees are the key components of urban vegetation in cities. The timely and accurate identification of existing urban tree species with their location is the most important task for improving air, water, and land quality; reducing carbon accumulation; mitigating urban heat island effects; and protecting soil and water balance. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is frequently used for extracting high-resolution structural information regarding tree objects. LiDAR systems are a cost-effective alternative to the traditional ways of identifying tree species, such as field surveys and aerial photograph interpretation. The aim of this work was to assess the usage of machine learning algorithms for classifying the deciduous (broadleaf) and coniferous tree species from 3D raw LiDAR data on the Davutpasa Campus of Yildiz Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey. First, ground, building, and low, medium, and high vegetation classes were acquired from raw LiDAR data using a hierarchical-rule-based classification method. Next, individual tree crowns were segmented using a mean shift clustering algorithm from high vegetation points. A total of 25 spatial- and intensity-based features were utilized for support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) classifiers to discriminate deciduous and coniferous tree species in the urban area. The machine learning-based classification’s overall accuracies were 80%, 83.75%, and 73.75% for the SVM, RF, and MLP classifiers, respectively, in split 70/30 (training/testing). The SVM and RF algorithms generally gave better classification results than the MLP algorithm for identifying the urban tree species.

Abstract
Machine learning approaches have a valuable contribution in improving competency in automated decision systems. Several machine learning approaches have been developed in the past studies in individual disease diagnosis prediction. The present study aims to develop a hybrid machine learning approach for diagnosis predictions of multiple diseases based on the combination of efficient feature generation, selection, and classification methods. Specifically, the combination of latent semantic analysis, ranker search, and fuzzy-rough-k-nearest neighbor has been proposed and validated in the diagnosis prediction of the primary tumor, post-operative, breast cancer, lymphography, audiology, fertility, immunotherapy, and COVID-19, etc. The performance of the proposed approach is compared with single and other hybrid machine learning approaches in terms of accuracy, analysis time, precision, recall, F-measure, the area under ROC, and the Kappa coefficient. The proposed hybrid approach performs better than single and other hybrid approaches in the diagnosis prediction of each of the selected diseases. Precisely, the suggested approach achieved the maximum recognition accuracy of 99.12%of the primary tumor, 96.45%of breast cancer Wisconsin, 94.44%of cryotherapy, 93.81%of audiology, and significant improvement in the classification accuracy and other evaluation metrics in the recognition of the rest of the selected diseases. Besides, it handles the missing values in the dataset effectively.

Abstract
For the tumors located in the anterior skull base, germinoma and craniopharyngioma (CP) are unusual types with similar clinical manifestations and imaging features. The difference in treatment strategies and outcomes of patients highlights the importance of making an accurate preoperative diagnosis. This retrospective study enrolled 107 patients diagnosed with germinoma (n = 44) and CP (n = 63). The region of interest (ROI) was drawn independently by two researchers. Radiomic features were extracted from contrast-enhanced T1WI and T2WI sequences. Here, we established the diagnosis models with a combination of three selection methods, as well as three classifiers. After training the models, their performances were evaluated on the independent validation cohort and compared based on the index of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) in the validation cohort. Nine models were established and compared to find the optimal one defined with the highest AUC in the validation cohort. For the models applied in the contrast-enhanced T1WI images, RFS + RFC and LASSO + LDA were observed to be the optimal models with AUCs of 0.91. For the models applied in the T2WI images, DC + LDA and LASSO + LDA were observed to be the optimal models with AUCs of 0.88. The evidence of this study indicated that radiomics-based machine learning could be potentially considered as the radiological method in the presurgical differential diagnosis of germinoma and CP with a reliable diagnostic performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Artificial intelligence (AI), such as machine learning (ML), shows great promise for improving clinical decision-making in cardiac diseases by outperforming statistical-based models. However, few AI-based tools have been implemented in cardiology clinics because of the sociotechnical challenges during transitioning from algorithm development to real-world implementation. OBJECTIVE This study explored how an ML-based tool for predicting ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) could support clinical decision-making in the remote monitoring of patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). METHODS Seven experienced electrophysiologists participated in a near-live feasibility and qualitative study, which included walkthroughs of 5 blinded retrospective patient cases, use of the prediction tool, and questionnaires and interview questions. All sessions were video recorded, and sessions evaluating the prediction tool were transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed through an inductive qualitative approach based on grounded theory. RESULTS The prediction tool was found to have potential for supporting decision-making in ICD remote monitoring by providing reassurance, increasing confidence, acting as a second opinion, reducing information search time, and enabling delegation of decisions to nurses and technicians. However, the prediction tool did not lead to changes in clinical action and was found less useful in cases where the quality of data was poor or when VT/VF predictions were found to be irrelevant for evaluating the patient. CONCLUSIONS When transitioning from AI development to testing its feasibility for clinical implementation, we need to consider the following: expectations must be aligned with the intended use of AI; trust in the prediction tool is likely to emerge from real-world use; and AI accuracy is relational and dependent on available information and local workflows. Addressing the sociotechnical gap between the development and implementation of clinical decision-support tools based on ML in cardiac care is essential for succeeding with adoption. It is suggested to include clinical end-users, clinical contexts, and workflows throughout the overall iterative approach to design, development, and implementation.

Abstract
Changeover times are an important element when evaluating the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of a production machine. The article presents a machine learning (ML) approach that is based on an external sensor setup to automatically detect changeovers in a shopfloor environment. The door statuses, coolant flow, power consumption, and operator indoor GPS data of a milling machine were used in the ML approach. As ML methods, Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines, (Balanced) Random Forest algorithms, and Neural Networks were chosen, and their performance was compared. The best results were achieved with the Random Forest ML model (97% F1 score, 99.72% AUC score). It was also carried out that model performance is optimal when only a binary classification of a changeover phase and a production phase is considered and less subphases of the changeover process are applied.

Nonlinear Random Forest Classification, a Copula-Based Approach. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2021. [DOI: 10.3390/app11157140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
In this work, we use a copula-based approach to select the most important features for a random forest classification. Based on associated copulas between these features, we carry out this feature selection. We then embed the selected features to a random forest algorithm to classify a label-valued outcome. Our algorithm enables us to select the most relevant features when the features are not necessarily connected by a linear function; also, we can stop the classification when we reach the desired level of accuracy. We apply this method on a simulation study as well as a real dataset of COVID-19 and for a diabetes dataset.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the diagnostic ability of radiomics-based machine learning in differentiating atypical low-grade astrocytoma (LGA) from anaplastic astrocytoma (AA). Methods The current study involved 175 patients diagnosed with LGA (n = 95) or AA (n = 80) and treated in the Neurosurgery Department of West China Hospital from April 2010 to December 2019. Radiomics features were extracted from pre-treatment contrast-enhanced T1 weighted imaging (T1C). Nine diagnostic models were established with three selection methods [Distance Correlation, least absolute shrinkage, and selection operator (LASSO), and Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT)] and three classification algorithms [Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and random forest (RF)]. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and areas under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of each model were calculated. Diagnostic ability of each model was evaluated based on these indexes. Results Nine radiomics-based machine learning models with promising diagnostic performances were established. For LDA-based models, the optimal one was the combination of LASSO + LDA with AUC of 0.825. For SVM-based modes, Distance Correlation + SVM represented the most promising diagnostic performance with AUC of 0.808. And for RF-based models, Distance Correlation + RF were observed to be the optimal model with AUC of 0.821. Conclusion Radiomic-based machine-learning has the potential to be utilized in differentiating atypical LGA from AA with reliable diagnostic performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are among the most common psychiatric disorders observed in children and adolescents exposed to sexual abuse. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to investigate the effects of many factors such as the characteristics of a child, abuse, and the abuser, family type of the child, and the role of social support in the development of psychiatric disorders using machine learning techniques. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTINGS The records of 482 children and adolescents who were determined to have been sexually abused were examined to predict the development of depression and PTSD. METHODS Each child was evaluated by a child and adolescent psychiatrist in the psychiatric aspect according to the DSM-V. Through the data of both groups, a predictive model was established based on a random forest classifier. RESULTS The mean values and standard deviation of the 10-k cross-validated results were obtained as accuracy: 0.82% (+/- 0.19%), F1: 0.81% (+/- 0.19%), precision: 0.81% (+/- 0.19%), recall: 0.80% (+/- 0.19%) for children with depression; and accuracy: 0.72% (+/- 0.12%), F1: 0.71% (+/- 0.12%), precision: 0.72% (+/- 0.12%), recall: 0.71% (+/- 0.12%) for children with PTSD, respectively. ROC curves were drawn for both, and the AUC results were obtained as 0.88 for major depressive disorder and 0.76 for PTSD. CONCLUSIONS Machine learning techniques are powerful methods that can be used to predict disorders that may develop after sexual abuse. The results should be supported by studies with larger samples, which are repeated and applied to other risk groups.

Abstract
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have contributed to advances in Occupational Health and Safety, improving the security of workers. The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) based on ICTs reduces the risk of accidents in the workplace, thanks to the capacity of the equipment to make decisions on the basis of environmental factors. Paradigms such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) make it possible to generate PPE models feasibly and create devices with more advanced characteristics such as monitoring, sensing the environment and risk detection between others. The working environment is monitored continuously by these models and they notify the employees and their supervisors of any anomalies and threats. This paper presents a smart helmet prototype that monitors the conditions in the workers’ environment and performs a near real-time evaluation of risks. The data collected by sensors is sent to an AI-driven platform for analysis. The training dataset consisted of 11,755 samples and 12 different scenarios. As part of this research, a comparative study of the state-of-the-art models of supervised learning is carried out. Moreover, the use of a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (ConvNet/CNN) is proposed for the detection of possible occupational risks. The data are processed to make them suitable for the CNN and the results are compared against a Static Neural Network (NN), Naive Bayes Classifier (NB) and Support Vector Machine (SVM), where the CNN had an accuracy of 92.05% in cross-validation.

Abstract
Subjective risk assessment is an important technology for enhancing driving safety, because an individual adjusts his/her driving behavior according to his/her own subjective perception of risk. This study presents a novel framework for modeling personalized subjective driving risk during expressway lane changes. The objectives of this study are twofold: (i) to use ego vehicle driving signals and surrounding vehicle locations in a data-driven and explainable approach to identify the possible influential factors of subjective risk while driving and (ii) to predict the specific individual’s subjective risk level just before a lane change. We propose the personalized subjective driving risk model, a combined framework that uses a random forest-based method optimized by genetic algorithms to analyze the influential risk factors, and uses a bidirectional long short term memory to predict subjective risk. The results demonstrate that our framework can extract individual differences of subjective risk factors, and that the identification of individualized risk factors leads to better modeling of personalized subjective driving risk.

Abstract
Accurate classification of adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in lung cancer is critical to physicians’ clinical decision-making. Exhaled breath analysis provides a tremendous potential approach in non-invasive diagnosis of lung cancer but was rarely reported for lung cancer subtypes classification. In this paper, we firstly proposed a combined method, integrating K-nearest neighbor classifier (KNN), borderline2-synthetic minority over-sampling technique (borderlin2-SMOTE), and feature reduction methods, to investigate the ability of exhaled breath to distinguish AC from SCC patients. The classification performance of the proposed method was compared with the results of four classification algorithms under different combinations of borderline2-SMOTE and feature reduction methods. The result indicated that the KNN classifier combining borderline2-SMOTE and feature reduction methods was the most promising method to discriminate AC from SCC patients and obtained the highest mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.63) and mean geometric mean (58.50) when compared to others classifiers. The result revealed that the combined algorithm could improve the classification performance of lung cancer subtypes in breathomics and suggested that combining non-invasive exhaled breath analysis with multivariate analysis is a promising screening method for informing treatment options and facilitating individualized treatment of lung cancer subtypes patients.

Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the ability of radiomics features from MRI in differentiating anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO) from atypical low-grade oligodendroglioma using machine-learning algorithms. Methods: A total number of 101 qualified patients (50 participants with AO and 51 with atypical low-grade oligodendroglioma) were enrolled in this retrospective, single-center study. Forty radiomics features of tumor images derived from six matrices were extracted from contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (T1C) images and fluid-attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) images. Three selection methods were performed to select the optimal features for classifiers, including distance correlation, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT). Then three machine-learning classifiers were adopted to generate discriminative models, including linear discriminant analysis, support vector machine, and random forest (RF). Receiver operating characteristic analysis was conducted to evaluate the discriminative performance of each model. Results: Nine predictive models were established based on radiomics features from T1C images and FLAIR images. All of the classifiers represented feasible ability in differentiation, with AUC more than 0.840 when combined with suitable selection method. For models based on T1C images, the combination of LASSO and RF classifier represented the highest AUC of 0.904 in the validation group. For models based on FLAIR images, the combination of GBDT and RF classifier showed the highest AUC of 0.861 in the validation group. Conclusion: Radiomics-based machine-learning approach could potentially serve as a feasible method in distinguishing AO from atypical low-grade oligodendroglioma.

Abstract
Peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is a difficult diagnosis to make clinically, with clinical examination of even otolaryngologists showing poor sensitivity and specificity. Machine learning is a form of artificial intelligence that “learns” from data to make predictions. We developed a machine learning classifier to predict the diagnosis of PTA based on patient symptoms. We retrospectively collected clinical data and symptomatology from 916 patients who underwent attempted needle aspiration for PTA. Machine learning classifiers were trained on a subset of the data to predict the presence or absence of purulence on attempted aspiration. The performance of the model was evaluated on a holdout set. The accuracy of the top-performing algorithm, the artificial neural network, was 72.3%. Artificial neural networks can use patient symptoms to exceed human ability to predict PTA in patients with clinical suspicion for PTA. Similar models can assist medical decision making for clinicians who have suspicion of PTA.

Abstract
Objective: Describe the development of a claims-based classifier utilizing machine learning to identify patients with probable Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) from six state Medicaid programs. Methods: Patients were included if they had ≥2 medical claims ≥30 days apart for specified or unspecified epilepsy, excluding those with ≥1 claim for petit mal status. The LGS classifier utilized a random forest algorithm, a compilation of thousands of binary decision trees in which machine-generated predictor variables split the data set into branches that predict the presence or absence of LGS. To construct the splitting rules, the importance of each candidate variable was determined by calculating the mean decrease in Gini impurity. Training and testing were performed on two data sets (30% and 70%) using a "true" LGS and non-LGS patient population. Performance was compared with logistic regression and single tree methodology. Results: Using a 60% probability threshold, which yielded the highest sensitivity (97.3%) and specificity (95.6%), the classifier identified approximately 4% of patients with epilepsy as probable LGS. The most important input variables included number of distinct antiepileptic drugs received, epilepsy-related outpatient/inpatient visits, electroencephalogram procedures and claims for delayed development. The random forest methodology outperformed logistic regression and single tree methodology. Most of the important LGS predictor characteristics identified by the classifier were statistically significantly associated with LGS status (p < .05). Conclusions: The claims-based LGS classifier showed high sensitivity and specificity, outperformed single tree and logistic regression methodologies and identified a prevalence of probable LGS that was similar to previously published estimates.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a special subtype of breast cancer that is difficult to treat. It is crucial to identify breast cancer-related genes that could provide new biomarkers for breast cancer diagnosis and potential treatment goals. In the development of our new high-risk breast cancer prediction model, seven raw gene expression datasets from the NCBI gene expression omnibus (GEO) database (GSE31519, GSE9574, GSE20194, GSE20271, GSE32646, GSE45255, and GSE15852) were used. Using the maximum relevance minimum redundancy (mRMR) method, we selected significant genes. Then, we mapped transcripts of the genes on the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network from the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes (STRING) database, as well as traced the shortest path between each pair of proteins. Genes with higher betweenness values were selected from the shortest path proteins. In order to ensure validity and precision, a permutation test was performed. We randomly selected 248 proteins from the PPI network for shortest path tracing and repeated the procedure 100 times. We also removed genes that appeared more frequently in randomized results. As a result, 54 genes were selected as potential TNBC-related genes. Using 14 out the 54 genes, which are potential TNBC associated genes, as input features into a support vector machine (SVM), a novel model was trained to predict high-risk breast cancer. The prediction accuracy of normal tissues and TNBC tissues reached 95.394%, and the predictions of Stage II and Stage III TNBC reached 86.598%, indicating that such genes play important roles in distinguishing breast cancers, and that the method could be promising in practical use. According to reports, some of the 54 genes we identified from the PPI network are associated with breast cancer in the literature. Several other genes have not yet been reported but have functional resemblance with known cancer genes. These may be novel breast cancer-related genes and need further experimental validation. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed to appraise the 54 genes. It was indicated that cellular response to organic cyclic compounds has an influence in breast cancer, and most genes may be related with viral carcinogenesis.

[PMID: 30088065 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-018-5632-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2018] [Revised: 05/28/2018] [Accepted: 06/26/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The preoperative prediction of the WHO grade of a meningioma is important for further treatment plans. This study aimed to assess whether texture analysis (TA) based on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps could non-invasively classify meningiomas accurately using tree classifiers. METHODS A pathology database was reviewed to identify meningioma patients who underwent tumour resection in our hospital with preoperative routine MRI scanning and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) between January 2011 and August 2017. A total of 152 meningioma patients with 421 preoperative ADC maps were included. Four categories of features, namely, clinical features, morphological features, average ADC values and texture features, were extracted. Three machine learning classifiers, namely, classic decision tree, conditional inference tree and decision forest, were built on these features from the training dataset. Then the performance of each classifier was evaluated and compared with the diagnosis made by two neuro-radiologists. RESULTS The ADC value alone was unable to distinguish three WHO grades of meningiomas. The machine learning classifiers based on clinical, morphological features and ADC value could achieve equivalent diagnostic performance (accuracy = 62.96%) compared to two experienced neuro-radiologists (accuracy = 61.11% and 62.04%). Upon analysis, the decision forest that was built with 23 selected texture features and the ADC value from the training dataset achieved the best diagnostic performance in the testing dataset (kappa = 0.64, accuracy = 79.51%). CONCLUSIONS Decision forest with the ADC value and ADC map-based texture features is a promising multiclass classifier that could potentially provide more precise diagnosis and aid diagnosis in the near future. KEY POINTS • A precise preoperative prediction of the WHO grade of a meningioma brings benefits to further treatment plans. • Machine learning models based on clinical, morphological features and ADC value could achieve equivalent diagnostic performance compared to experienced neuroradiologists. • The decision forest model built with 23 selected texture features and the ADC value achieved the best diagnostic performance (kappa = 0.64, accuracy = 79.51%).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Machine-learning can elucidate complex relationships/provide insight to important variables for large datasets. This study aimed to develop an accurate model to predict neonatal surgical site infections (SSI) using different statistical methods. METHODS The 2012-2015 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-Pediatric for neonates was utilized for development and validations models. The primary outcome was any SSI. Models included different algorithms: full multiple logistic regression (LR), a priori clinical LR, random forest classification (RFC), and a hybrid model (combination of clinical knowledge and significant variables from RF) to maximize predictive power. RESULTS 16,842 patients (median age 18 days, IQR 3-58) were included. 542 SSIs (4%) were identified. Agreement was observed for multiple covariates among significant variables between models. Area under the curve for each model was similar (full model 0.65, clinical model 0.67, RF 0.68, hybrid LR 0.67); however, the hybrid model utilized the fewest variables (18). CONCLUSIONS The hybrid model had similar predictability as other models with fewer and more clinically relevant variables. Machine-learning algorithms can identify important novel characteristics, which enhance clinical prediction models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Intelligent status monitoring for critically ill patients can help medical stuff quickly discover and assess the changes of disease and then make appropriate treatment strategy. However, general-type monitoring model now widely used is difficult to adapt the changes of intensive care unit (ICU) patients' status due to its fixed pattern, and a more robust, efficient and fast monitoring model should be developed to the individual. METHODS A data-driven learning approach combining locally weighted projection regression (LWPR) and principal component analysis (PCA) is firstly proposed and applied to monitor the nonlinear process of patients' health status in ICU. LWPR is used to approximate the complex nonlinear process with local linear models, in which PCA could be further applied to status monitoring, and finally a global weighted statistic will be acquired for detecting the possible abnormalities. Moreover, some improved versions are developed, such as LWPR-MPCA and LWPR-JPCA, which also have superior performance. RESULTS Eighteen subjects were selected from the Physiobank's Multi-parameter Intelligent Monitoring for Intensive Care II (MIMIC II) database, and two vital signs of each subject were chosen for online monitoring. The proposed method was compared with several existing methods including traditional PCA, Partial least squares (PLS), just in time learning combined with modified PCA (L-PCA), and Kernel PCA (KPCA). The experimental results demonstrated that the mean fault detection rate (FDR) of PCA can be improved by 41.7% after adding LWPR. The mean FDR of LWPR-MPCA was increased by 8.3%, compared with the latest reported method L-PCA. Meanwhile, LWPR spent less training time than others, especially KPCA. CONCLUSIONS LWPR is first introduced into ICU patients monitoring and achieves the best monitoring performance including adaptability to changes in patient status, sensitivity for abnormality detection as well as its fast learning speed and low computational complexity. The algorithm is an excellent approach to establishing a personalized model for patients, which is the mainstream direction of modern medicine in the following development, as well as improving the global monitoring performance.

Comparison of ANN (MLP), ANFIS, SVM, and RF models for the online classification of heating value of burning municipal solid waste in circulating fluidized bed incinerators. WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2017; 68:186-197. [PMID: 28408281 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2017.03.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2016] [Revised: 02/24/2017] [Accepted: 03/27/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
The heating values, particularly lower heating values of burning municipal solid waste are critically important parameters in operating circulating fluidized bed incineration systems. However, the heating values change widely and frequently, while there is no reliable real-time instrument to measure heating values in the process of incinerating municipal solid waste. A rapid, cost-effective, and comparative methodology was proposed to evaluate the heating values of burning MSW online based on prior knowledge, expert experience, and data-mining techniques. First, selecting the input variables of the model by analyzing the operational mechanism of circulating fluidized bed incinerators, and the corresponding heating value was classified into one of nine fuzzy expressions according to expert advice. Development of prediction models by employing four different nonlinear models was undertaken, including a multilayer perceptron neural network, a support vector machine, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, and a random forest; a series of optimization schemes were implemented simultaneously in order to improve the performance of each model. Finally, a comprehensive comparison study was carried out to evaluate the performance of the models. Results indicate that the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system model outperforms the other three models, with the random forest model performing second-best, and the multilayer perceptron model performing at the worst level. A model with sufficient accuracy would contribute adequately to the control of circulating fluidized bed incinerator operation and provide reliable heating value signals for an automatic combustion control system.
