BACKGROUND Applications of machine learning (ML) on health care can have a great impact on people’s lives. At the same time, medical data is usually big, requiring a significant amount of computational resources. Although it might not be a problem for wide-adoption of ML tools in developed nations, availability of computational resource can very well be limited in third-world nations and on mobile devices. This can prevent many people from benefiting of the advancement in ML applications for healthcare. OBJECTIVE In this paper we explored three methods to increase computational efficiency of either recurrent neural net-work(RNN) or feedforward (deep) neural network (DNN) while not compromising its accuracy. We used in-patient mortality prediction as our case analysis upon intensive care dataset. METHODS We reduced the size of RNN and DNN by applying pruning of “unused” neurons. Additionally, we modified the RNN structure by adding a hidden-layer to the RNN cell but reduce the total number of recurrent layers to accomplish a reduction of total parameters in the network. Finally, we implemented quantization on DNN—forcing the weights to be 8-bits instead of 32-bits. RESULTS We found that all methods increased implementation efficiency–including training speed, memory size and inference speed–without reducing the accuracy of mortality prediction. CONCLUSIONS This improvements allow the implementation of sophisticated NN algorithms on devices with lower computational resources.

Neural Network Algorithm

Over the years the need for differentiating various emotions from oral communication plays an important role in emotion based studies. There have been different algorithms to classify the kinds of emotion. Although there is no measure of fidelity of the emotion under consideration, which is primarily due to the reason that most of the readily available datasets that are annotated are produced by actors and not generated in real-world scenarios. Therefore, the predicted emotion lacks an important aspect called authenticity, which is whether an emotion is actual or stimulated. In this research work, we have developed a transfer learning and style transfer based hybrid convolutional neural network algorithm to classify the emotion as well as the fidelity of the emotion. The model is trained on features extracted from a dataset that contains stimulated as well as actual utterances. We have compared the developed algorithm with conventional machine learning and deep learning techniques by few metrics like accuracy, Precision, Recall and F1 score. The developed model performs much better than the conventional machine learning and deep learning models. The research aims to dive deeper into human emotion and make a model that understands it like humans do with precision, recall, F1 score values of 0.994, 0.996, 0.995 for speech authenticity and 0.992, 0.989, 0.99 for speech emotion classification respectively.

Augmented reality is the fusion of virtual components and our real surroundings. The simultaneous visibility of generated and natural objects often requires users to direct their selective attention to a specific target that is either real or virtual. In this study, we investigated whether this target is real or virtual by using machine learning techniques to classify electroencephalographic (EEG) and eye tracking data collected in augmented reality scenarios. A shallow convolutional neural net classified 3 second EEG data windows from 20 participants in a person-dependent manner with an average accuracy above 70% if the testing data and training data came from different trials. This accuracy could be significantly increased to 77% using a multimodal late fusion approach that included the recorded eye tracking data. Person-independent EEG classification was possible above chance level for 6 out of 20 participants. Thus, the reliability of such a brain–computer interface is high enough for it to be treated as a useful input mechanism for augmented reality applications.

Intraportal Infusion

As a regulator of food intake and energy metabolism, the role of ghrelin in glucose metabolism is still not fully understood. In this study, we determined the in vivo effect of ghrelin on incretin effect. We demonstrated that ghrelin inhibited the glucose-stimulated release of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) when infused into the portal vein of Wistar rat. Hepatic vagotomy diminished the inhibitory effect of ghrelin on glucose-stimulated GLP-1 secretion. In addition, phentolamine, a nonselective α receptor antagonist, could recover the decrease of GLP-1 release induced by ghrelin infusion. Pralmorelin (an artificial growth hormone release peptide) infusion into the portal vein could also inhibit the glucose-stimulated release of GLP-1. And growth hormone secretagogue receptor antagonist, [D-lys3]-GHRP-6, infusion showed comparable increases of glucose stimulated GLP-1 release compared to ghrelin infusion into the portal vein. The data showed that intraportal infusion of ghrelin exerted an inhibitory effect on GLP-1 secretion through growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1α (GHS1α receptor), which indicated that the downregulation of ghrelin secretion after food intake was necessary for incretin effect. Furthermore, our results suggested that the enteric neural net involved hepatic vagal nerve and sympathetic nerve mediated inhibition effect of ghrelin on incretin effect.
