The objective of the present chapter is to highlight applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders. The proposed approach aims at recognizing behavioral traits and other cognitive aspects. The availability of numerous data and high processing power, such as graphic processing units (GPUs) or cloud computing, enabled the study of micro-patterns hundreds of times faster compared to manual analysis. AI, being a new technological breakthrough, enables study of human behavior patterns, which are hidden in millions of micro-patterns originating from human actions, reactions, and gestures. The chapter will also focus on the challenges in existing machine learning techniques and the best possible solution addressing those problems. In the future, more AI-based expert systems can enhance the accuracy of the diagnosis and prognosis process.

Abstract Machine learning is a branch of computer science that has the potential to transform epidemiologic sciences. Amid a growing focus on “Big Data,” it offers epidemiologists new tools to tackle problems for which classical methods are not well-suited. In order to critically evaluate the value of integrating machine learning algorithms and existing methods, however, it is essential to address language and technical barriers between the two fields that can make it difficult for epidemiologists to read and assess machine learning studies. Here, we provide an overview of the concepts and terminology used in machine learning literature, which encompasses a diverse set of tools with goals ranging from prediction to classification to clustering. We provide a brief introduction to 5 common machine learning algorithms and 4 ensemble-based approaches. We then summarize epidemiologic applications of machine learning techniques in the published literature. We recommend approaches to incorporate machine learning in epidemiologic research and discuss opportunities and challenges for integrating machine learning and existing epidemiologic research methods.

This supplement is intended to focus on the use of machine learning techniques to generate meaningful information on biological data. This supplement under Bioinformatics and Biology Insights aims to provide scientists and researchers working in this rapid and evolving field with online, open-access articles authored by leading international experts in this field. Advances in the field of biology have generated massive opportunities to allow the implementation of modern computational and statistical techniques. Machine learning methods in particular, a subfield of computer science, have evolved as an indispensable tool applied to a wide spectrum of bioinformatics applications. Thus, it is broadly used to investigate the underlying mechanisms leading to a specific disease, as well as the biomarker discovery process. With a growth in this specific area of science comes the need to access up-to-date, high-quality scholarly articles that will leverage the knowledge of scientists and researchers in the various applications of machine learning techniques in mining biological data.

Medical image analysis is an area which has witnessed an increased use of machine learning in recent times. In this chapter, the authors attempt to provide an overview of applications of machine learning techniques to medical imaging problems, focusing on some of the recent work. The target audience comprises of practitioners, engineers, students and researchers working on medical image analysis, no prior knowledge of machine learning is assumed. Although the stress is mostly on medical imaging problems, applications of machine learning to other proximal areas will also be elucidated briefly. Health informatics is a relatively new area which deals with mining large amounts of data to gain useful insights. Some of the common challenges in health informatics will be briefly touched upon and some of the efforts in related directions will be outlined.

Machine learning techniques such as artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), radial basis function network (RBFN), random forest (RF), naive Bayes classifier, etc. have gained much attention in recent years due to their widespread applications in diverse fields. This chapter is focused on providing a comprehensive insight of various techniques employed for key areas of medical image processing and analysis. Different applications covered in this chapter include feature extraction, feature selection, and cancer classification in medical images. The authors present current practices and evaluation measures used for objective evaluation of different machine learning methods in context to above-mentioned applications. Various factors associated with acceptance/rejection of such automated systems by medical research community are discussed. The authors also discuss how the interaction between automated analysis systems and medical professionals can be improved for its acceptance in clinical practice. They conclude the chapter by presenting research gaps and future challenges.
