The Open Library for Affective Videos (OpenLAV) is a new video database for experimental emotion induction. The 188 videos (mean duration: 40 s; range: 12–71 s) have a CC-BY license. Ratings for valence, arousal, several appraisals, and emotion labels were assessed from 434 US-American participants in an online study (on average 70 ratings per video), along with personality traits from the raters (Big 5 personality dimensions and several motive dispositions). The OpenLAV is able to induce a large variety of different emotions, but the videos vary in uniformity of emotion induction. Based on different variability metrics, we recommend videos for the most uniform induction of different emotions. Moreover, the predictive power of personality traits on emotion ratings was analyzed using a machine-learning approach. In contrast to previous research, no effects of personality on the emotional experience were found.

Inflammatory Bowel

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of chronic diseases related to inflammatory processes in the digestive tract generally associated with an immune response to an altered gut microbiome in genetically predisposed subjects. For years, both researchers and clinicians have been reporting increased rates of anxiety and depression disorders in IBD, and these disorders have also been linked to an altered microbiome. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of comorbidity are poorly understood at the gut microbiome level. Methods: Metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data were retrieved from the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Multi-Omics Database. Samples from 70 individuals that had answered to a self-reported depression and anxiety questionnaire were selected and classified by their IBD diagnosis and their questionnaire results, creating six different groups. The cross-validation random forest algorithm was used in 90% of the individuals (training set) to retain the most important species involved in discriminating the samples without losing predictive power. The validation set that represented the remaining 10% of the samples equally distributed across the six groups was used to train a random forest using only the species selected in order to evaluate their predictive power. Results: A total of 24 species were identified as the most informative in discriminating the 6 groups. Several of these species were frequently described in dysbiosis cases, such as species from the genus Bacteroides and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. Despite the different compositions among the groups, no common patterns were found between samples classified as depressed. However, distinct taxonomic profiles within patients of IBD depending on their depression status were detected. Conclusions: The machine learning approach is a promising approach for investigating the role of microbiome in IBD and depression. Abundance and functional changes in these species suggest that depression should be considered as a factor in future research on IBD.

AbstractBacteria and archaea evolve under constant pressure from numerous, diverse viruses and thus have evolved multiple defense systems. The CRISPR-Cas are adaptive immunity systems that have been harnessed for the development of the new generation of genome editing and engineering tools. In the incessant host-parasite arms race, viruses evolved multiple anti-defense mechanisms including numerous, diverse anti-CRISPR proteins (Acrs) that can inhibit CRISPR-Cas and therefore have enormous potential for application as modulators of genome editing tools. Most Acrs are small, highly variable proteins which makes their prediction a formidable task. We developed a machine learning approach for comprehensive Acr prediction. The model showed high predictive power when tested against an unseen test set that included several families of recently discovered Acrs and was employed to predict 2,500 novel candidate Acr families. An examination of the top candidates confirms that they possess typical Acr features. One of the top candidates was independently tested and found to possess anti-CRISPR activity (AcrIIA12). We provide a web resource (http://acrcatalog.pythonanywhere.com/) to access the predicted Acrs sequences and annotation. The results of this analysis expand the repertoire of predicted Acrs almost by two orders of magnitude and provide a rich resource for experimental Acr discovery.

Machine Learning Approach

Using a machine learning approach with a gene expression profile, we discovered a tumor nonimmune-microenvironment-related gene expression signature, including extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), and angiogenesis, that could predict brain metastasis (BM) after the surgical resection of 64 lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD). Gene expression profiling identified a tumor nonimmune-microenvironment-related 17-gene expression signature that significantly correlated with BM. Of the 17 genes, 11 were ECM-remodeling-related genes. The 17-gene expression signature showed high BM predictive power in four machine learning classifiers (areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.845 for naïve Bayes, 0.849 for support vector machine, 0.858 for random forest, and 0.839 for neural network). Subgroup analysis revealed that the BM predictive power of the 17-gene signature was higher in the early-stage LUAD than in the late-stage LUAD. Pathway enrichment analysis showed that the upregulated differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in the ECM–receptor interaction pathway. The immunohistochemical expression of the top three genes of the 17-gene expression signature yielded similar results to NanoString tests. The tumor nonimmune-microenvironment-related gene expression signatures found in this study are important biological markers that can predict BM and provide patient-specific treatment options.

Bodily Sensations

Bodily sensation mapping (BSM) is a recently developed self-report tool for the assessment of emotions in which people draw their sensations of activation in a body silhouette. Following the circumplex model of affect, activity and valence are the underling dimensions of every emotional experience. The aim of this study was to introduce the neglected valence dimension in BSM. We found that participants systematically report valence-related sensations of bodily lightness for positive emotions (happiness, love, pride), and sensations of bodily heaviness in response to negative emotions (e.g., anger, fear, sadness, depression) with specific body topography (Experiment 1). Further experiments showed that both computers (using a machine learning approach) and humans recognize emotions better when classification is based on the combined activity- and valence-related BSMs compared to either type of BSM alone (Experiments 2 and 3), suggesting that both types of bodily sensations reflect distinct parts of emotion knowledge. Importantly, participants found it clearer to indicate their bodily sensations induced by sadness and depression in terms of bodily weight than bodily activity (Experiment 2 and 4), suggesting that the added value of valence-related BSMs is particularly relevant for the assessment of emotions at the negative end of the valence spectrum.

Background COVID-19 has overwhelmed health systems worldwide. It is important to identify severe cases as early as possible, such that resources can be mobilized and treatment can be escalated. Objective This study aims to develop a machine learning approach for automated severity assessment of COVID-19 based on clinical and imaging data. Methods Clinical data—including demographics, signs, symptoms, comorbidities, and blood test results—and chest computed tomography scans of 346 patients from 2 hospitals in the Hubei Province, China, were used to develop machine learning models for automated severity assessment in diagnosed COVID-19 cases. We compared the predictive power of the clinical and imaging data from multiple machine learning models and further explored the use of four oversampling methods to address the imbalanced classification issue. Features with the highest predictive power were identified using the Shapley Additive Explanations framework. Results Imaging features had the strongest impact on the model output, while a combination of clinical and imaging features yielded the best performance overall. The identified predictive features were consistent with those reported previously. Although oversampling yielded mixed results, it achieved the best model performance in our study. Logistic regression models differentiating between mild and severe cases achieved the best performance for clinical features (area under the curve [AUC] 0.848; sensitivity 0.455; specificity 0.906), imaging features (AUC 0.926; sensitivity 0.818; specificity 0.901), and a combination of clinical and imaging features (AUC 0.950; sensitivity 0.764; specificity 0.919). The synthetic minority oversampling method further improved the performance of the model using combined features (AUC 0.960; sensitivity 0.845; specificity 0.929). Conclusions Clinical and imaging features can be used for automated severity assessment of COVID-19 and can potentially help triage patients with COVID-19 and prioritize care delivery to those at a higher risk of severe disease.
