Abstract Background The acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) is the most important cause of mortality in patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Given that it occurs at the stage of severe tissue damage, its diagnosis is late. With the advancement of machine learning (ML), promising real-time models to predict aGvHD have emerged. Objective This article aims to synthesize the literature on ML classification algorithms for predicting aGvHD, highlighting algorithms and important predictor variables used. Methods A systemic review of ML classification algorithms used to predict aGvHD was performed using a search of the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Springer, and IEEE Xplore databases undertaken up to April 2019 based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statements. The studies with a focus on using the ML classification algorithms in the process of predicting of aGvHD were considered. Results After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 studies were selected for evaluation. The results of the current analysis showed that the algorithms used were Artificial Neural Network (79%), Support Vector Machine (50%), Naive Bayes (43%), k-Nearest Neighbors (29%), Regression (29%), and Decision Trees (14%), respectively. Also, many predictor variables have been used in these studies so that we have divided them into more abstract categories, including biomarkers, demographics, infections, clinical, genes, transplants, drugs, and other variables. Conclusion Each of these ML algorithms has a particular characteristic and different proposed predictors. Therefore, it seems these ML algorithms have a high potential for predicting aGvHD if the process of modeling is performed correctly.

Advancement in medical science has always been one of the most vital aspects of the human race. With the progress in technology, the use of modern techniques and equipment is always imposed on treatment purposes. Nowadays, machine learning techniques have widely been used in medical science for assuring accuracy. In this work, we have constructed computational model building techniques for liver disease prediction accurately. We used some efficient classification algorithms: Random Forest, Perceptron, Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for predicting liver diseases. Our works provide the implementation of hybrid model construction and comparative analysis for improving prediction performance. At first, classification algorithms are applied to the original liver patient datasets collected from the UCI repository. Then we analyzed features and tweaked to improve the performance of our predictor and made a comparative analysis among the classifiers. We examined that, KNN algorithm outperformed all other techniques with feature selection.

This research was aimed at developing the mapping model of benthic habitat mapping using machine-learning classification algorithms and tested the applicability of the model in different areas. We integrated in situ benthic habitat data and image processing of WorldView-2 (WV2) image to parameterise the machine-learning algorithm, namely: Random Forest (RF), Classification Tree Analysis (CTA), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The classification inputs are sunglint-free bands, water column corrected bands, Principle Component (PC) bands, bathymetry, and the slope of underwater topography. Kemujan Island was used in developing the model, while Karimunjawa, Menjangan Besar, and Menjangan Kecil Islands served as test areas. The results obtained indicated that RF was more accurate than any other classification algorithm based on the statistics and benthic habitats spatial distribution. The maximum accuracy of RF was 94.17% (4 classes) and 88.54% (14 classes). The accuracies from RF, CTA, and SVM were consistent across different input bands for each classification scheme. The application of RF model in the classification of benthic habitat in other areas revealed that it is recommended to make use of the more general classification scheme in order to avoid several issues regarding benthic habitat variations. The result also established the possibility of mapping a benthic habitat without the use of training areas.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome is commonly known as PCOS and it is surprising that it affects up to 18% of women in reproductive age. PCOS is the most usually occurring hormone-related disorder. Some of the symptoms of PCOS are irregular periods, increased facial and body hair growth, attain more weight, darkening of skin, diabetes and trouble conceiving (infertility). It also came into light that patients suffering from PCOS also possess a range of metabolic abnormalities. Due to metabolic abnormalities, some disorder may occur which increase the risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance (a sign of prediabetes). Family members of women suffering from PCOS are also at higher hazardous level for developing the same metabolic abnormalities. Obesity and overweight status contribute to insulin resistance in PCOS. Objective: In the modern era, there are several new technologies available to diagnose PCOS and one of them is Machine learning algorithms because they are exposed to new data. These algorithms learn from past experiences to produce reliable and repeatable decisions. In this article, Machine learning algorithms are used to identify the important features to diagnose PCOS. Methods: Several classification algorithms like Support vector machine (SVM), Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, Decision Tree and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) are uses well organized test datasets for classify huge records. Initially a dataset of 541 instances and 41 attributes has been taken to apply the prediction models and a manual feature selection is done over it. Results: After the feature selection, a set of 12 attributes has been identified which plays a crucial role in diagnosing PCOS. Conclusion: There are several researches progressing in the direction of diagnosing PCOS but till now the relevant features are not identify for the same.
