This chapter conducts a critical review on ML and deep learning tools and techniques in the field of heart disease related to heart disease complexity, prediction, and diagnosis. Only specific papers are selected for the study to extract useful information, which stimulated a new hypothesis to understand further investigation of the heart disease patient.

Abstract A review, recently published in this journal by Fang (2019), showed that methods trained for the prediction of protein stability changes upon mutation have a very critical bias: they neglect that a protein variation (A- > B) and its reverse (B- > A) must have the opposite value of the free energy difference (ΔΔGAB = − ΔΔGBA). In this letter, we complement the Fang’s paper presenting a more general view of the problem. In particular, a machine learning-based method, published in 2015 (INPS), addressed the bias issue directly. We include the analysis of the missing method, showing that INPS is nearly insensitive to the addressed problem.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to critically review the literature on contrarian and momentum trading strategies and identify areas for future research. Design/methodology/approach – Critical review and discussion of the literature. Findings – The extant literature is dynamic and is typified by a number of open questions. Research limitations/implications – The open questions in the literature relate mainly to the driving forces of investment performance, and the role of risk and asset pricing as well as behavioral human traits. The literature is vast and therefore difficult to classify, cover and discuss. Practical implications – The paper indicates the possible need for: the development of different asset pricing models and propositions that can have practical implications at a more international context. Originality/value – The paper provides a critical review of the literature and identifies open issues for future research.
