Abstract
Introduction Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 is a highly contagious viral disease. Cardiovascular diseases and heart failure elevate the risk of mechanical ventilation and fatal outcomes among COVID-19 patients, while COVID-19 itself increases the likelihood of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Methods We collected blood samples and clinical data from hospitalized cardiovascular patients with and without proven COVID-19 infection in the time period before the vaccine became available. Statistical correlation analysis and machine learning were used to evaluate and identify individual parameters that could predict the risk of needing mechanical ventilation and patient survival. Results Our results confirmed that COVID-19 is associated with a severe outcome and identified increased levels of ferritin, fibrinogen, and platelets, as well as decreased levels of albumin, as having a negative impact on patient survival. Additionally, patients on ACE/ARB had a lower chance of dying or needing mechanical ventilation. The machine learning models revealed that ferritin, PCO2, and CRP were the most efficient combination of parameters for predicting survival, while the combination of albumin, fibrinogen, platelets, ALP, AB titer, and D-dimer was the most efficient for predicting the likelihood of requiring mechanical ventilation. Conclusion We believe that creating an AI-based model that uses these patient parameters to predict the cardiovascular patient's risk of mortality, severe complications, and the need for mechanical ventilation would help healthcare providers with rapid triage and redistribution of medical services, with the goal of improving overall survival. The use of the most effective combination of parameters in our models could advance risk assessment and treatment planning among the general population of cardiovascular patients.

Stueckle CA, Haage P. The radiologist as a physician - artificial intelligence as a way to overcome tension between the patient, technology, and referring physicians - a narrative review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large volumes of data increasing over time lead to a shortage of radiologists' time. The use of systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) offers opportunities to relieve the burden on radiologists. The AI systems are usually optimized for a radiological area. Radiologists must understand the basic features of its technical function in order to be able to assess the weaknesses and possible errors of the system and use the strengths of the system. This "explainability" creates trust in an AI system and shows its limits. METHOD Based on an expanded Medline search for the key words "radiology, artificial intelligence, referring physician interaction, patient interaction, job satisfaction, communication of findings, expectations", subjective additional relevant articles were considered for this narrative review. RESULTS The use of AI is well advanced, especially in radiology. The programmer should provide the radiologist with clear explanations as to how the system works. All systems on the market have strengths and weaknesses. Some of the optimizations are unintentionally specific, as they are often adapted too precisely to a certain environment that often does not exist in practice - this is known as "overfitting". It should also be noted that there are specific weak points in the systems, so-called "adversarial examples", which lead to fatal misdiagnoses by the AI even though these cannot be visually distinguished from an unremarkable finding by the radiologist. The user must know which diseases the system is trained for, which organ systems are recognized and taken into account by the AI, and, accordingly, which are not properly assessed. This means that the user can and must critically review the results and adjust the findings if necessary. Correctly applied AI can result in a time savings for the radiologist. If he knows how the system works, he only has to spend a short amount of time checking the results. The time saved can be used for communication with patients and referring physicians and thus contribute to higher job satisfaction. CONCLUSION Radiology is a constantly evolving specialty with enormous responsibility, as radiologists often make the diagnosis to be treated. AI-supported systems should be used consistently to provide relief and support. Radiologists need to know the strengths, weaknesses, and areas of application of these AI systems in order to save time. The time gained can be used for communication with patients and referring physicians. KEY POINTS · Explainable AI systems help to improve workflow and to save time.. · The physician must critically review AI results, under consideration of the limitations of the AI.. · The AI system will only provide useful results if it has been adapted to the data type and data origin.. · The communicating radiologist interested in the patient is important for the visibility of the discipline..

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) exhibits a significant death rate that consistently impacts human lives worldwide. Histopathological examination is the standard method for CRC diagnosis. However, it is complicated, time-consuming, and subjective. Computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems using digital pathology can help pathologists diagnose CRC faster and more accurately than manual histopathology examinations. Deep learning algorithms especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are advocated for diagnosis of CRC. Nevertheless, most previous CAD systems obtained features from one CNN, these features are of huge dimension. Also, they relied on spatial information only to achieve classification. In this paper, a CAD system is proposed called "Color-CADx" for CRC recognition. Different CNNs namely ResNet50, DenseNet201, and AlexNet are used for end-to-end classification at different training-testing ratios. Moreover, features are extracted from these CNNs and reduced using discrete cosine transform (DCT). DCT is also utilized to acquire spectral representation. Afterward, it is used to further select a reduced set of deep features. Furthermore, DCT coefficients obtained in the previous step are concatenated and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) feature selection approach is applied to choose significant features. Finally, machine learning classifiers are employed for CRC classification. Two publicly available datasets were investigated which are the NCT-CRC-HE-100 K dataset and the Kather_texture_2016_image_tiles dataset. The highest achieved accuracy reached 99.3% for the NCT-CRC-HE-100 K dataset and 96.8% for the Kather_texture_2016_image_tiles dataset. DCT and ANOVA have successfully lowered feature dimensionality thus reducing complexity. Color-CADx has demonstrated efficacy in terms of accuracy, as its performance surpasses that of the most recent advancements.

Abstract
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a severe condition with an uncertain origin and a dismal prognosis. There is presently no precise diagnostic test for ME/CFS, and the diagnosis is determined primarily by the presence of certain symptoms. The current study presents an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) integrated machine learning (ML) framework that identifies and classifies potential metabolic biomarkers of ME/CFS. Metabolomic data from blood samples from 19 controls and 32 ME/CFS patients, all female, who were between age and body mass index (BMI) frequency-matched groups, were used to develop the XAI-based model. The dataset contained 832 metabolites, and after feature selection, the model was developed using only 50 metabolites, meaning less medical knowledge is required, thus reducing diagnostic costs and improving prognostic time. The computational method was developed using six different ML algorithms before and after feature selection. The final classification model was explained using the XAI approach, SHAP. The best-performing classification model (XGBoost) achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCROC) value of 98.85%. SHAP results showed that decreased levels of alpha-CEHC sulfate, hypoxanthine, and phenylacetylglutamine, as well as increased levels of N-delta-acetylornithine and oleoyl-linoloyl-glycerol (18:1/18:2)[2], increased the risk of ME/CFS. Besides the robustness of the methodology used, the results showed that the combination of ML and XAI could explain the biomarker prediction of ME/CFS and provided a first step toward establishing prognostic models for ME/CFS.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common progressive neurological condition after Alzheimer's. The significant number of individuals afflicted with this illness makes it essential to develop a method to diagnose the conditions in their early phases. PD is typically identified from motor symptoms or via other Neuroimaging techniques. Expensive, time-consuming, and unavailable to the general public, these methods are not very accurate. Another issue to be addressed is the black-box nature of machine learning methods that needs interpretation. These issues encourage us to develop a novel technique using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and Hard Voting Ensemble Method based on voice signals to diagnose PD more accurately. Another purpose of this study is to interpret the output of the model and determine the most important features in diagnosing PD. The present article uses Pearson Correlation Coefficients to understand the relationship between input features and the output. Input features with high correlation are selected and then classified by the Extreme Gradient Boosting, Light Gradient Boosting Machine, Gradient Boosting, and Bagging. Moreover, the weights in Hard Voting Ensemble Method are determined based on the performance of the mentioned classifiers. At the final stage, it uses SHAP to determine the most important features in PD diagnosis. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated using 'Parkinson Dataset with Replicated Acoustic Features' from the UCI machine learning repository. It has achieved an accuracy of 85.42%. The findings demonstrate that the proposed method outperformed state-of-the-art approaches and can assist physicians in diagnosing Parkinson's cases.

Abstract
Chest radiography is the standard and most affordable way to diagnose, analyze, and examine different thoracic and chest diseases. Typically, the radiograph is examined by an expert radiologist or physician to decide about a particular anomaly, if exists. Moreover, computer-aided methods are used to assist radiologists and make the analysis process accurate, fast, and more automated. A tremendous improvement in automatic chest pathologies detection and analysis can be observed with the emergence of deep learning. The survey aims to review, technically evaluate, and synthesize the different computer-aided chest pathologies detection systems. The state-of-the-art of single and multi-pathologies detection systems, which are published in the last five years, are thoroughly discussed. The taxonomy of image acquisition, dataset preprocessing, feature extraction, and deep learning models are presented. The mathematical concepts related to feature extraction model architectures are discussed. Moreover, the different articles are compared based on their contributions, datasets, methods used, and the results achieved. The article ends with the main findings, current trends, challenges, and future recommendations.

Abstract
The identification of ore samples is of great scientific significance for mineral exploration, and geological evolution research on the planets. Attributed to the changes in the composition and structure of the same ore, the fusion of multiple technologies can effectively meet the comprehensive and accurate analysis of actual samples compared with a single technology. We develop an efficient method of applying the combination of Raman spectroscopy and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to ores identification. We construct a convolutional neural network (CNN) model and train it with mid-level Raman-LIBS fusion spectra of ores. Also, we develop a hybrid feature selection method AVPSO based on analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) to improve the classification performance of the model. Compared with the model features visualized by Grad-CAM method, the similarity selected features verify the effectiveness of the AVPSO method. The identification of mid-level fusion strategy provides the best accuracy of 98%, while the accuracies of Raman and LIBS are slightly lower with values of 87.9% and 91.3%, respectively. The proposed method is of great significance for the rapid and accurate identification of ore samples.

Abstract
Due to its widespread availability, low cost, feasibility at the patient's bedside and accessibility even in low-resource settings, chest X-ray is one of the most requested examinations in radiology departments. Whilst it provides essential information on thoracic pathology, it can be difficult to interpret and is prone to diagnostic errors, particularly in the emergency setting. The increasing availability of large chest X-ray datasets has allowed the development of reliable Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to help radiologists in everyday clinical practice. AI integration into the diagnostic workflow would benefit patients, radiologists, and healthcare systems in terms of improved and standardized reporting accuracy, quicker diagnosis, more efficient management, and appropriateness of the therapy. This review article aims to provide an overview of the applications of AI for chest X-rays in the emergency setting, emphasizing the detection and evaluation of pneumothorax, pneumonia, heart failure, and pleural effusion.

High-dimensional multinomial multiclass severity scoring of COVID-19 pneumonia using CT radiomics features and machine learning algorithms. Sci Rep 2022; 12:14817. [PMID: 36050434 PMCID: PMC9437017 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-18994-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
We aimed to construct a prediction model based on computed tomography (CT) radiomics features to classify COVID-19 patients into severe-, moderate-, mild-, and non-pneumonic. A total of 1110 patients were studied from a publicly available dataset with 4-class severity scoring performed by a radiologist (based on CT images and clinical features). The entire lungs were segmented and followed by resizing, bin discretization and radiomic features extraction. We utilized two feature selection algorithms, namely bagging random forest (BRF) and multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), each coupled to a classifier, namely multinomial logistic regression (MLR), to construct multiclass classification models. The dataset was divided into 50% (555 samples), 20% (223 samples), and 30% (332 samples) for training, validation, and untouched test datasets, respectively. Subsequently, nested cross-validation was performed on train/validation to select the features and tune the models. All predictive power indices were reported based on the testing set. The performance of multi-class models was assessed using precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy based on the 4 × 4 confusion matrices. In addition, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) for multi-class classifications were calculated and compared for both models. Using BRF, 23 radiomic features were selected, 11 from first-order, 9 from GLCM, 1 GLRLM, 1 from GLDM, and 1 from shape. Ten features were selected using the MARS algorithm, namely 3 from first-order, 1 from GLDM, 1 from GLRLM, 1 from GLSZM, 1 from shape, and 3 from GLCM features. The mean absolute deviation, skewness, and variance from first-order and flatness from shape, and cluster prominence from GLCM features and Gray Level Non Uniformity Normalize from GLRLM were selected by both BRF and MARS algorithms. All selected features by BRF or MARS were significantly associated with four-class outcomes as assessed within MLR (All p values < 0.05). BRF + MLR and MARS + MLR resulted in pseudo-R2 prediction performances of 0.305 and 0.253, respectively. Meanwhile, there was a significant difference between the feature selection models when using a likelihood ratio test (p value = 0.046). Based on confusion matrices for BRF + MLR and MARS + MLR algorithms, the precision was 0.856 and 0.728, the recall was 0.852 and 0.722, whereas the accuracy was 0.921 and 0.861, respectively. AUCs (95% CI) for multi-class classification were 0.846 (0.805-0.887) and 0.807 (0.752-0.861) for BRF + MLR and MARS + MLR algorithms, respectively. Our models based on the utilization of radiomic features, coupled with machine learning were able to accurately classify patients according to the severity of pneumonia, thus highlighting the potential of this emerging paradigm in the prognostication and management of COVID-19 patients.

Incorporating a Machine Learning Model into a Web-Based Administrative Decision Support Tool for Predicting Workplace Absenteeism. INFORMATION 2022.

Abstract
Productivity losses caused by absenteeism at work cost U.S. employers billions of dollars each year. In addition, employers typically spend a considerable amount of time managing employees who perform poorly. By using predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms, organizations can make better decisions, thereby increasing organizational productivity, reducing costs, and improving efficiency. Thus, in this paper we propose hybrid optimization methods in order to find the most parsimonious model for absenteeism classification. We utilized data from a Brazilian courier company. In order to categorize absenteeism classes, we preprocessed the data, selected the attributes via multiple methods, balanced the dataset using the synthetic minority over-sampling method, and then employed four methods of machine learning classification: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Multinomial Logistic Regression (MLR), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Random Forest (RF). We selected the best model based on several validation scores, and compared its performance against the existing model. Furthermore, project managers may lack experience in machine learning, or may not have the time to spend developing machine learning algorithms. Thus, we propose a web-based interactive tool supported by cognitive analytics management (CAM) theory. The web-based decision tool enables managers to make more informed decisions, and can be used without any prior knowledge of machine learning. Understanding absenteeism patterns can assist managers in revising policies or creating new arrangements to reduce absences in the workplace, financial losses, and the probability of economic insolvency.

Abstract
Cement production is one of the most energy-intensive manufacturing industries, and the milling circuit of cement plants consumes around 4% of a year's global electrical energy production. It is well understood that modeling and digitalizing industrial-scale processes would help control production circuits better, improve efficiency, enhance personal training systems, and decrease plants' energy consumption. This tactical approach could be integrated using conscious lab (CL) as an innovative concept in the internet age. Surprisingly, no CL has been reported for the milling circuit of a cement plant. A robust CL interconnect datasets originated from monitoring operational variables in the plants and translating them to human basis information using explainable artificial intelligence (EAI) models. By initiating a CL for an industrial cement vertical roller mill (VRM), this study conducted a novel strategy to explore relationships between VRM monitored operational variables and their representative energy consumption factors (output temperature and motor power). Using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) as one of the most recent EAI models accurately helped fill the lack of information about correlations within VRM variables. SHAP analyses highlighted that working pressure and input gas rate with positive relationships are the key factors influencing energy consumption. eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) as a powerful predictive tool could accurately model energy representative factors by R-square ever 0.80 in the testing phase. Comparison assessments indicated that SHAP-XGBoost could provide higher accuracy for VRM-CL structure than conventional modeling tools (Pearson correlation, Random Forest, and Support vector regression.

Let AI Perform Better Next Time—A Systematic Review of Medical Imaging-Based Automated Diagnosis of COVID-19: 2020–2022. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
The pandemic of COVID-19 has caused millions of infections, which has led to a great loss all over the world, socially and economically. Due to the false-negative rate and the time-consuming characteristic of the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) tests, diagnosing based on X-ray images and Computed Tomography (CT) images has been widely adopted to confirm positive COVID-19 RT-PCR tests. Since the very beginning of the pandemic, researchers in the artificial intelligence area have proposed a large number of automatic diagnosing models, hoping to assist radiologists and improve the diagnosing accuracy. However, after two years of development, there are still few models that can actually be applied in real-world scenarios. Numerous problems have emerged in the research of the automated diagnosis of COVID-19. In this paper, we present a systematic review of these diagnosing models. A total of 179 proposed models are involved. First, we compare the medical image modalities (CT or X-ray) for COVID-19 diagnosis from both the clinical perspective and the artificial intelligence perspective. Then, we classify existing methods into two types—image-level diagnosis (i.e., classification-based methods) and pixel-level diagnosis (i.e., segmentation-based models). For both types of methods, we define universal model pipelines and analyze the techniques that have been applied in each step of the pipeline in detail. In addition, we also review some commonly adopted public COVID-19 datasets. More importantly, we present an in-depth discussion of the existing automated diagnosis models and note a total of three significant problems: biased model performance evaluation; inappropriate implementation details; and a low reproducibility, reliability and explainability. For each point, we give corresponding recommendations on how we can avoid making the same mistakes and let AI perform better in the next pandemic.

Automated detection of COVID-19 cases from chest X-ray images using deep neural network and XGBoost. Radiography (Lond) 2022; 28:732-738. [PMID: 35410707 PMCID: PMC8958100 DOI: 10.1016/j.radi.2022.03.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2021] [Revised: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Introduction In late 2019 and after the COVID-19 pandemic in the world, many researchers and scholars tried to provide methods for detecting COVID-19 cases. Accordingly, this study focused on identifying patients with COVID-19 from chest X-ray images. Methods In this paper, a method for diagnosing coronavirus disease from X-ray images was developed. In this method, DenseNet169 Deep Neural Network (DNN) was used to extract the features of X-ray images taken from the patients’ chests. The extracted features were then given as input to the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm to perform the classification task. Results Evaluation of the proposed approach and its comparison with the methods presented in recent years revealed that this method was more accurate and faster than the existing ones and had an acceptable performance for detecting COVID-19 cases from X-ray images. The experiments showed 98.23% and 89.70% accuracy, 99.78% and 100% specificity, 92.08% and 95.20% sensitivity in two and three-class problems, respectively. Conclusion This study aimed to detect people with COVID-19, focusing on non-clinical approaches. The developed method could be employed as an initial detection tool to assist the radiologists in more accurate and faster diagnosing the disease. Implication for practice The proposed method's simple implementation, along with its acceptable accuracy, allows it to be used in COVID-19 diagnosis. Moreover, the gradient-based class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) can be used to represent the deep neural network's decision area on a heatmap. Radiologists might use this heatmap to evaluate the chest area more accurately.

Abstract
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists have been looking for different ways to diagnose COVID-19, and these efforts have led to a variety of solutions. One of the common methods of detecting infected people is chest radiography. In this paper, an Automated Detection System using X-ray images (COV-ADSX) is proposed, which employs a deep neural network and XGBoost to detect COVID-19. COV-ADSX was implemented using the Django web framework, which allows the user to upload an X-ray image and view the results of the COVID-19 detection and image's heatmap, which helps the expert to evaluate the chest area more accurately.
