AbstractAn important target for machine learning research is obtaining unbiased results, which require addressing bias that might be present in the data as well as the methodology. This is of utmost importance in medical applications of machine learning, where trained models should be unbiased so as to result in systems that are widely applicable, reliable and fair. Since bias can sometimes be introduced through the data itself, in this paper we investigate the presence of ethnoracial bias in patients’ clinical data. We focus primarily on vital signs and demographic information and classify patient ethnoraces in subsets of two from the three ethnoracial groups (African Americans, Caucasians, and Hispanics). Our results show that ethnorace can be identified in two out of three patients, setting the initial base for further investigation of the complex issue of ehtnoracial bias.

Biomedical image analysis is very relevant to public health and welfare. Deep learning is quickly growing and has shown enhanced performance in medical applications. It has also been widely extended in academia and industry. The utilization of various deep learning methods on medical imaging endeavours to create systems that can help in the identification of disease and the automation of interpreting biomedical images to help treatment planning. New advancements in machine learning are primarily about deep learning employed for identifying, classifying, and quantifying patterns in images in the medical field. Deep learning, a more precise convolutional neural network has given excellent performance over machine learning in solving visual problems. This chapter summarizes a review of different deep learning techniques used and how they are applied in medical image interpretation and future directions.

Abstract Holotomography measures 3D refractive index (RI) distribution in cells and tissues without exogenous labeling. Here we describe a protocol for holotomographic imaging of generic eukaryotic cells using a standardized Tomocube holotomographic microscope. Combined with the recent advances in machine learning, holotomographic imaging enables a broad range of new biological and medical applications.

Classifying the cancer based on the age and predicting the arrhythmia in cancer patient is necessary to determine the next steps in dealing with the patients. This prediction can be done by using multiple algorithms of machine learning such as SVM, Linear classifier, neural network. Machine learning, interpretability refers to understand the underlying behaviour of the prediction of a model in order to identify diagnosis criteria and/or new rules from its output. Interpretability contributes to increase the usability of the method. Also, it is relevant in decision support systems, such as in medical applications. Using multiple algorithm on big data set and predicting the arrhythmia cases from early age to old age.Apache (Acute Physiology, Age and Chronic Health Evaluation) and SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) score are the important factor in critically ill patients. The number of ICU (intensive care unit) admission will be depending on these two scores. Analyzing Apache and SOFA scores will be helpful for intensivist.[4]

Many machine learning techniques have been used in past few decades for various medical applications. However, these techniques suffer from parameter tuning issue. Therefore, an efficient tuning of these parameters has an ability to improve the performance of existing machine learning techniques. Therefore, in this work, a novel multi-objective differential evolution based random forest technique is proposed. The proposed technique is able to tune the parameters of random forest in an efficient manner. Extensive experiments are carried out by considering the proposed and the existing competitive machine learning techniques on various medical applications. It is observed that the proposed technique outperforms existing techniques in terms of accuracy, f-measure, sensitivity and specificity.
