Machine Learning Model

Chimera and Solitary states have captivated scientists and engineers due to their peculiar dynamical states corresponding to co-existence of coherent and incoherent dynamical evolution in coupled units in various natural and artificial systems. It has been further demonstrated that such states can be engineered in systems of coupled oscillators by suitable implementation of communication delays. Here, using supervised machine learning, we predict (a) the precise value of delay which is sufficient for engineering chimera and solitary states for a given set of system's parameters, as well as (b) the intensity of incoherence for such engineered states. Ergo, using few initial data points we generate a machine learning model which can then create a more refined phase plot as well as by including new parameter values. We demonstrate our results for two different examples consisting of single layer and multi layer networks. First, the chimera states (solitary states) are engineered by establishing delays in the neighboring links of a node (the interlayer links) in a 2-D lattice (multiplex network) of oscillators. Then, different machine learning classifiers, K-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machine (SVM) and multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLP-NN) are employed by feeding the data obtained from the network models. Once a machine learning model is trained using the limited amount of data, it predicts the precise value of critical delay as well as the intensity of incoherence for a given unknown systems parameters values. Testing accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity analysis reveal that MLP-NN classifier is better suited than Knn or SVM classifier for the predictions of parameters values for engineered chimera and solitary states. The technique provides an easy methodology to predict critical delay values as well as intensity of incoherence for that delay value for designing an experimental setup to create solitary and chimera states.

Background: Anecdotal reports suggest a rise in anti-Asian racial attitudes and discrimination in response to COVID-19. Racism can have significant social, economic, and health impacts, but there has been little systematic investigation of increases in anti-Asian prejudice. Methods: We utilized Twitter’s Streaming Application Programming Interface (API) to collect 3,377,295 U.S. race-related tweets from November 2019–June 2020. Sentiment analysis was performed using support vector machine (SVM), a supervised machine learning model. Accuracy for identifying negative sentiments, comparing the machine learning model to manually labeled tweets was 91%. We investigated changes in racial sentiment before and following the emergence of COVID-19. Results: The proportion of negative tweets referencing Asians increased by 68.4% (from 9.79% in November to 16.49% in March). In contrast, the proportion of negative tweets referencing other racial/ethnic minorities (Blacks and Latinx) remained relatively stable during this time period, declining less than 1% for tweets referencing Blacks and increasing by 2% for tweets referencing Latinx. Common themes that emerged during the content analysis of a random subsample of 3300 tweets included: racism and blame (20%), anti-racism (20%), and daily life impact (27%). Conclusion: Social media data can be used to provide timely information to investigate shifts in area-level racial sentiment.

Return Visits

Seventy-two-hour unscheduled return visits (URVs) by emergency department patients are a key clinical index for evaluating the quality of care in emergency departments (EDs). This study aimed to develop a machine learning model to predict 72 h URVs for ED patients with abdominal pain. Electronic health records data were collected from the Chang Gung Research Database (CGRD) for 25,151 ED visits by patients with abdominal pain and a total of 617 features were used for analysis. We used supervised machine learning models, namely logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), and voting classifier (VC), to predict URVs. The VC model achieved more favorable overall performance than other models (AUROC: 0.74; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.69–0.76; sensitivity, 0.39; specificity, 0.89; F1 score, 0.25). The reduced VC model achieved comparable performance (AUROC: 0.72; 95% CI, 0.69–0.74) to the full models using all clinical features. The VC model exhibited the most favorable performance in predicting 72 h URVs for patients with abdominal pain, both for all-features and reduced-features models. Application of the VC model in the clinical setting after validation may help physicians to make accurate decisions and decrease URVs.

In the paper, the flight time deviation of Lithuania airports has been analyzed. The supervised machine learning model has been implemented to predict the interval of time delay deviation of new flights. The analysis has been made using seven algorithms: probabilistic neural network, multilayer perceptron, decision trees, random forest, tree ensemble, gradient boosted trees, and support vector machines. To find the best parameters which give the highest accuracy for each algorithm, the grid search has been used. To evaluate the quality of each algorithm, the five measures have been calculated: sensitivity/recall, precision, specificity, F-measure, and accuracy. All experimental investigation has been made using the newly collected dataset from Lithuania airports and weather information on departure/landing time. The departure flights and arrival flights have been investigated separately. To balance the dataset, the SMOTE technique is used. The research results showed that the highest accuracy is obtained using the tree model classifiers and the best algorithm of this type to predict is gradient boosted trees.

Patients At Risk

Early detection of patients at risk for clinical deterioration is crucial for timely intervention. Traditional detection systems rely on a limited set of variables and are unable to predict the time of decline. We describe a machine learning model called MEWS++ that enables the identification of patients at risk of escalation of care or death six hours prior to the event. A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted from July 2011 to July 2017 of adult (age > 18) inpatients excluding psychiatric, parturient, and hospice patients. Three machine learning models were trained and tested: random forest (RF), linear support vector machine, and logistic regression. We compared the models’ performance to the traditional Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) using sensitivity, specificity, and Area Under the Curve for Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUC-ROC) and Precision-Recall curves (AUC-PR). The primary outcome was escalation of care from a floor bed to an intensive care or step-down unit, or death, within 6 h. A total of 96,645 patients with 157,984 hospital encounters and 244,343 bed movements were included. Overall rate of escalation or death was 3.4%. The RF model had the best performance with sensitivity 81.6%, specificity 75.5%, AUC-ROC of 0.85, and AUC-PR of 0.37. Compared to traditional MEWS, sensitivity increased 37%, specificity increased 11%, and AUC-ROC increased 14%. This study found that using machine learning and readily available clinical data, clinical deterioration or death can be predicted 6 h prior to the event. The model we developed can warn of patient deterioration hours before the event, thus helping make timely clinical decisions.

Abstract BACKGROUND Accurate preoperative prediction of complicated appendicitis (CA) could help selecting optimal treatment and reducing risks of postoperative complications. The study aimed to develop a machine learning model based on clinical symptoms and laboratory data for preoperatively predicting CA.METHODS 136 patients with clinicopathological diagnosis of acute appendicitis were retrospectively included in the study. The dataset was randomly divided (94: 42) into training and testing set. Predictive models using individual and combined selected clinical and laboratory data features were built separately. Three combined models were constructed using logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF) algorithms. The CA prediction performance was evaluated with Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis, using the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity and accuracy factors.RESULTS The features of the abdominal pain time, nausea and vomiting, the highest temperature, high sensitivity-CRP (hs-CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) had significant differences in the CA prediction (P<0.001). The ability to predict CA by individual feature was low (AUC<0.8). The prediction by combined features was significantly improved. The AUC of the three models (LR, SVM and RF) in the training set and the testing set were 0.805, 0.888, 0.908 and 0.794, 0.895, 0.761, respectively. The SVM-based model showed a better performance for CA prediction. RF had a higher AUC in the training set, but its poor efficiency in the testing set indicated a poor generalization ability.CONCLUSIONS The SVM machine learning model applying clinical and laboratory data can well predict CA preoperatively which could assist diagnosis in resource limited settings.

Comparable Quality

Whereas post-edited texts have been shown to be either of comparable quality to human translations or better, one study shows that people still seem to prefer human-translated texts. The idea of texts being inherently different despite being of high quality is not new. Translated texts, for example, are also different from original texts, a phenomenon referred to as ‘Translationese’. Research into Translationese has shown that, whereas humans cannot distinguish between translated and original text, computers have been trained to detect Translationese successfully. It remains to be seen whether the same can be done for what we call Post-editese. We first establish whether humans are capable of distinguishing post-edited texts from human translations, and then establish whether it is possible to build a supervised machine-learning model that can distinguish between translated and post-edited text.

ObjectivesObstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has received much attention as a risk factor for perioperative complications and 68.5% of OSA patients remain undiagnosed before surgery. Faciocervical characteristics may screen OSA for Asians due to smaller upper airways compared with Caucasians. Thus, our study aimed to explore a machine-learning model to screen moderate to severe OSA based on faciocervical and anthropometric measurements.DesignA cross-sectional study.SettingData were collected from the Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine affiliated Ruijin Hospital between February 2019 and August 2020.ParticipantsA total of 481 Chinese participants were included in the study.Primary and secondary outcome(1) Identification of moderate to severe OSA with apnoea–hypopnoea index 15 events/hour and (2) Verification of the machine-learning model.ResultsSex-Age-Body mass index (BMI)-maximum Interincisal distance-ratio of Height to thyrosternum distance-neck Circumference-waist Circumference (SABIHC2) model was set up. The SABIHC2 model could screen moderate to severe OSA with an area under the curve (AUC)=0.832, the sensitivity of 0.916 and specificity of 0.749, and performed better than the STOP-BANG (snoring, tiredness, observed apnea, high blood pressure, BMI, age, neck circumference, and male gender) questionnaire, which showed AUC=0.631, the sensitivity of 0.487 and specificity of 0.772. Especially for asymptomatic patients (Epworth Sleepiness Scale <10), the SABIHC2 model demonstrated better predictive ability compared with the STOP-BANG questionnaire, with AUC (0.824 vs 0.530), sensitivity (0.892 vs 0.348) and specificity (0.755 vs 0.809).ConclusionThe SABIHC2 machine-learning model provides a simple and accurate assessment of moderate to severe OSA in the Chinese population, especially for those without significant daytime sleepiness.

Network Approaches

In this paper we propose a novel supervised machine learning model to predict the polarity of sentiments expressed in microblogs. The proposed model has a stacked neural network structure consisting of Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) layers. In order to capture the long-term dependencies of sentiments in the text ordering of a microblog, the proposed model employs an LSTM layer. The encodings produced by the LSTM layer are then fed to a CNN layer, which generates localized patterns of higher accuracy. These patterns are capable of capturing both local and global long-term dependences in the text of the microblogs. It was observed that the proposed model performs better and gives improved prediction accuracy when compared to semantic, machine learning and deep neural network approaches such as SVM, CNN, LSTM, CNN-LSTM, etc. This paper utilizes the benchmark Stanford Large Movie Review dataset to show the significance of the new approach. The prediction accuracy of the proposed approach is comparable to other state-of-art approaches.
