BACKGROUND Qualitative self- or parent-reports used in assessing children’s behavioral disorders are often inconvenient to collect and can be misleading due to missing information, rater biases, and limited validity. A data-driven approach to quantify behavioral disorders could alleviate these concerns. This study proposes a machine learning approach to identify screams in voice recordings that avoids the need to gather large amounts of clinical data for model training. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study is to evaluate if a machine learning model trained only on publicly available audio data sets could be used to detect screaming sounds in audio streams captured in an at-home setting. METHODS Two sets of audio samples were prepared to evaluate the model: a subset of the publicly available AudioSet data set and a set of audio data extracted from the TV show Supernanny, which was chosen for its similarity to clinical data. Scream events were manually annotated for the Supernanny data, and existing annotations were refined for the AudioSet data. Audio feature extraction was performed with a convolutional neural network pretrained on AudioSet. A gradient-boosted tree model was trained and cross-validated for scream classification on the AudioSet data and then validated independently on the Supernanny audio. RESULTS On the held-out AudioSet clips, the model achieved a receiver operating characteristic (ROC)–area under the curve (AUC) of 0.86. The same model applied to three full episodes of Supernanny audio achieved an ROC-AUC of 0.95 and an average precision (positive predictive value) of 42% despite screams only making up 1.3% (n=92/7166 seconds) of the total run time. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that a scream-detection model trained with publicly available data could be valuable for monitoring clinical recordings and identifying tantrums as opposed to depending on collecting costly privacy-protected clinical data for model training.

A large volume of datasets is available in various fields that are stored to be somewhere which is called big data. Big Data healthcare has clinical data set of every patient records in huge amount and they are maintained by Electronic Health Records (EHR). More than 80 % of clinical data is the unstructured format and reposit in hundreds of forms. The challenges and demand for data storage, analysis is to handling large datasets in terms of efficiency and scalability. Hadoop Map reduces framework uses big data to store and operate any kinds of data speedily. It is not solely meant for storage system however conjointly a platform for information storage moreover as processing. It is scalable and fault-tolerant to the systems. Also, the prediction of the data sets is handled by machine learning algorithm. This work focuses on the Extreme Machine Learning algorithm (ELM) that can utilize the optimized way of finding a solution to find disease risk prediction by combining ELM with Cuckoo Search optimization-based Support Vector Machine (CS-SVM). The proposed work also considers the scalability and accuracy of big data models, thus the proposed algorithm greatly achieves the computing work and got good results in performance of both veracity and efficiency.


Electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the most commonly used tools for epilepsy detection. In this paper we have presented two methods for the diagnosis of epilepsy using machine learning techniques.EEG waveforms have five different kinds of frequency bands. Out of which only two namely theta and gamma bands carry epileptic seizure information. Our model determines the statistical features like mean, variance, maximum, minimum, kurtosis, and skewness from the raw data set. This reduces the mathematical complexities and time consumption of the feature extraction method. It then uses a Logistic regression model and decision tree model to classify whether a person is epileptic or not. After the implementation of the machine learning models, parameters like accuracy, sensitivity, and recall have been found. The results for the same are analyzed in detail in this paper. Epileptic seizures cause severe damage to the brain which affects the health of a person. Our key objective from this paper is to help in the early prediction and detection of epilepsy so that preventive interventions can be provided and precautionary measures are taken to prevent the patient from suffering any severe damage

Health-care initiatives are pushing the development and utilization of clinical data for medical discovery and translational research studies. Machine learning tools implemented for Big Data have been applied to detect patterns in complex diseases. This study focuses on hypertension and examines phenotype data across a major clinical study called Minority Health Genomics and Translational Research Repository Database composed of self-reported African American (AA) participants combined with related cohorts. Prior genome-wide association studies for hypertension in AAs presumed that an increase of disease burden in susceptible populations is due to rare variants. But genomic analysis of hypertension, even those designed to focus on rare variants, has yielded marginal genome-wide results over many studies. Machine learning and other nonparametric statistical methods have recently been shown to uncover relationships in complex phenotypes, genotypes, and clinical data. We trained neural networks with phenotype data for missing-data imputation to increase the usable size of a clinical data set. Validity was established by showing performance effects using the expanded data set for the association of phenotype variables with case/control status of patients. Data mining classification tools were used to generate association rules.

Abstract Cardio vascular disease or alternatively heart disease is the primitive cause of death all around the world. Last few decades, it was observed that maximum death cases occurred due to heart failure. The heart failure death cases are associated with many risk factors for example high blood pressure, cholesterol level, sugar level etcetera. Therefore, it is advisable that regular and early diagnosis of these factors may reduce the risk of heart failure and hence achieve prompt disease management service. A commonly used technique to process these enormous medical data is called data mining, which help the researchers in health care domain. Several machine learning algorithms are used to analyses these data and help to design the best-fit model for early detection of heart diseases. This research paper contributes various attributes related to heart mal functioning and build the best-fit model using supervised learning algorithm such as various tree (fine tree, medium tree etc), Gaussian Naïve Bayes, Coarse KNN, Medium Gaussian SVM algorithms. In this paper, we used the data set from Kaggle.com. These data set comprises with total 732 instances along with 5 attributes. All these 5 attributes are to be considered for testing purpose and also to find out the best fit model for prediction of heart disease. In this research article we also compare the various classification models based on supervised learning algorithms. Based on the performance and accuracy rate we therefore, choose ‘Medium Tree’ model as the best-fit model. Maximum accuracy is obtained for ‘Medium Tree’ model. The confusion matrix for each model are calculated and analyze.

Radiomics, in combination with artificial intelligence, has emerged as a powerful tool for the development of predictive models in neuro-oncology. Our study aims to find an answer to a clinically relevant question: is there a radiomic profile that can identify glioblastoma (GBM) patients with short-term survival after complete tumor resection? A retrospective study of GBM patients who underwent surgery was conducted in two institutions between January 2019 and January 2020, along with cases from public databases. Cases with gross total or near total tumor resection were included. Preoperative structural multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) sequences were pre-processed, and a total of 15,720 radiomic features were extracted. After feature reduction, machine learning-based classifiers were used to predict early mortality (<6 months). Additionally, a survival analysis was performed using the random survival forest (RSF) algorithm. A total of 203 patients were enrolled in this study. In the classification task, the naive Bayes classifier obtained the best results in the test data set, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.769 and classification accuracy of 80%. The RSF model allowed the stratification of patients into low- and high-risk groups. In the test data set, this model obtained values of C-Index = 0.61, IBS = 0.123 and integrated AUC at six months of 0.761. In this study, we developed a reliable predictive model of short-term survival in GBM by applying open-source and user-friendly computational means. These new tools will assist clinicians in adapting our therapeutic approach considering individual patient characteristics.

e14138 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have become breakthrough therapy for various types of cancers. However, regarding their total response rate around 20% based on clinical trials, predicting accurate aPD-1 response for individual patient is unestablished. The presence of PD-L1 expression or tumor infiltrating lymphocyte may be used as indicators of response but are limited. We developed models using machine learning methods to predict the aPD-1 response. Methods: A total of 126 advanced NSCLC patients treated with the aPD-1 were enrolled. Their clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, and adverse events were collected. Total clinical data (n = 126) consist of 15 variables were divided into two subsets, discovery set (n = 63) and test set (n = 63). Thirteen supervised learning algorithms including support vector machine and regularized regression (lasso, ridge, elastic net) were applied on discovery set for model development and on test set for validation. Each model were evaluated according to the ROC curve and cross-validation method. Same methods were used to the subset which had additional flow cytometry data (n = 40). Results: The median age was 64 and 69.8% were male. Adenocarcinoma was predominant (69.8%) and twenty patients (15.1%) were driver mutation positive. Clinical data set (n = 126) demonstrated that the Ridge regression (AUC: 0.79) was the best model for prediction. Of 15 clinical variables, tumor burden, age, ECOG PS and PD-L1, were most important based on the random forest algorithm. When we merged the clinical and flow cytometry data, the Ridge regression model (AUC:0.82) showed better performance compared to using clinical data only. Among 52 variables of merged set, the top most important immune markers were as follows: CD3+CD8+CD25+/Teff-CD28, CD3+CD8+CD25-/Teff-Ki-67, and CD3+CD8+CD25+/Teff-NY-ESO/Teff-PD-1, which indicate activated tumor specific T cell subset. Conclusions: Our machine learning based model has benefit for predicting aPD-1 responses. After further validation in independent patient cohort, the supervised learning based non-invasive predictive score can be established to predict aPD-1 response.

Purpose: Portable chest radiographs are diagnostically indispensable in intensive care units (ICU). This study aimed to determine if the proposed machine learning technique increased in accuracy as the number of radiograph readings increased and if it was accurate in a clinical setting.Methods: Two independent data sets of portable chest radiographs (n = 380, a single Japanese hospital; n = 1,720, The National Institution of Health [NIH] ChestX-ray8 dataset) were analyzed. Each data set was divided training data and study data. Images were classified as atelectasis, pleural effusion, pneumonia, or no emergency. DenseNet-121, as a pre-trained deep convolutional neural network was used and ensemble learning was performed on the best-performing algorithms. Diagnostic accuracy and processing time were compared to those of ICU physicians.Results: In the single Japanese hospital data, the area under the curve (AUC) of diagnostic accuracy was 0.768. The area under the curve (AUC) of diagnostic accuracy significantly improved as the number of radiograph readings increased from 25 to 100% in the NIH data set. The AUC was higher than 0.9 for all categories toward the end of training with a large sample size. The time to complete 53 radiographs by machine learning was 70 times faster than the time taken by ICU physicians (9.66 s vs. 12 min). The diagnostic accuracy was higher by machine learning than by ICU physicians in most categories (atelectasis, AUC 0.744 vs. 0.555, P &lt; 0.05; pleural effusion, 0.856 vs. 0.706, P &lt; 0.01; pneumonia, 0.720 vs. 0.744, P = 0.88; no emergency, 0.751 vs. 0.698, P = 0.47).Conclusions: We developed an automatic detection system for portable chest radiographs in ICU setting; its performance was superior and quite faster than ICU physicians.
