(1) Background: Recommendation algorithms have played a vital role in the prediction of personalized recommendation for clinical decision support systems (CDSSs). Machine learning methods are powerful tools for disease diagnosis. Unfortunately, they must deal with missing data, as this will result in data error and limit the potential patterns and features associated with obtaining a clinical decision; (2) Methods: Recent years, collaborative filtering (CF) have proven to be a valuable means of coping with missing data prediction. In order to address the challenge of missing data prediction and latent feature extraction, neighbor-based and latent features-based CF methods are presented for clinical disease diagnosis. The novel discriminative restricted Boltzmann machine (DRBM) model is proposed to extract the latent features, where the deep learning technique is adopted to analyze the clinical data; (3) Results: Proposed methods were compared to machine learning models, using two different publicly available clinical datasets, which has various types of inputs and different quantity of missing. We also evaluated the performance of our algorithm, using clinical datasets that were missing at random (MAR), which were missing at various degrees; and (4) Conclusions: The experimental results demonstrate that DRBM can effectively capture the latent features of real clinical data and exhibits excellent performance for predicting missing values and result classification.

Background: Deep learning (DL) is an Artificial neural network-driven framework with multiple levels of representation for which non-linear modules combined in such a way that the levels of representation can be enhanced from lower to a much abstract level. Though DL is used widely in almost every field, it has largely brought a breakthrough in biological sciences as it is used in disease diagnosis and clinical trials. DL can be clubbed with machine learning, but at times both are used individually as well. DL seems to be a better platform than machine learning as the former does not require an intermediate feature extraction and works well with larger datasets. DL is one of the most discussed fields among the scientists and researchers these days for diagnosing and solving various biological problems. However, deep learning models need some improvisation and experimental validations to be more productive. Objective: To review the available DL models and datasets that are used in disease diagnosis. Methods: Available DL models and their applications in disease diagnosis were reviewed discussed and tabulated. Types of datasets and some of the popular disease related data sources for DL were highlighted. Results: We have analyzed the frequently used DL methods, data types and discussed some of the recent deep learning models used for solving different biological problems. Conclusion: The review presents useful insights about DL methods, data types, selection of DL models for the disease diagnosis.

With the increasing computational power, areas such as machine learning, image processing, deep learning, etc. have been extensively applied in agriculture. This chapter investigates the applications of the said areas and various prediction models in plant pathology for accurate classification, identification, and quantification of plant diseases. The authors aim to automate the plant disease identification process. To accomplish this objective, CNN has been utilized for image classification. Research shows that deep learning architectures outperform other machine learning tools significantly. To this effect, the authors have implemented and trained five CNN models, namely Inception ResNet v2, VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, and Xception, on PlantVillage dataset for tomato leaf images. The authors analyzed 18,160 tomato leaf images spread across 10 class labels. After comparing their performance measures, ResNet50 proved to be the most accurate prediction tool. It was employed to create a mobile application to classify and identify tomato plant diseases successfully.

Cancer is a complicated worldwide health issue with an increasing death rate in recent years. With the swift blooming of the high throughput technology and several machine learning methods that have unfolded in recent years, progress in cancer disease diagnosis has been made based on subset features, providing awareness of the efficient and precise disease diagnosis. Hence, progressive machine learning techniques that can, fortunately, differentiate lung cancer patients from healthy persons are of great concern. This paper proposes a novel Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Gain Preprocessing combined with Generative Deep Learning called Wilcoxon Signed Generative Deep Learning (WS-GDL) method for lung cancer disease diagnosis. Firstly, test significance analysis and information gain eliminate redundant and irrelevant attributes and extract many informative and significant attributes. Then, using a generator function, the Generative Deep Learning method is used to learn the deep features. Finally, a minimax game (i.e., minimizing error with maximum accuracy) is proposed to diagnose the disease. Numerical experiments on the Thoracic Surgery Data Set are used to test the WS-GDL method's disease diagnosis performance. The WS-GDL approach may create relevant and significant attributes and adaptively diagnose the disease by selecting optimal learning model parameters. Quantitative experimental results show that the WS-GDL method achieves better diagnosis performance and higher computing efficiency in computational time, computational complexity, and false-positive rate compared to state-of-the-art approaches.

Abstract Background: Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blinding disease. Early detection can improve patients’ quality of vision. Effectively identifying primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) using structural and functional examination is critical. Computer aided diagnosis of glaucoma requires multimodal data to find an accurate model for early glaucoma diagnosis. Methods: This study collected 87 early POAG eyes, 85 suspected POAG eyes, and 129 healthy eyes from the ophthalmology department at Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University. Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLt), intraocular pressure (IOP) value, visual field examination parameters and age were obtained. A powerful deep learning network segmented the FP and extracted optic nerve head (ONH) features. Machine learning classifiers (MLCs) were adopted to get the final classification results and compared with the diagnosis results of glaucoma specialists and general non-glaucoma ophthalmologists. Result: The program diagnosing early POAG, suspected POAG, and healthy eyes made overall Area Under the Curve of 0.97. Dice of optic disc and optic cup segmentation is 0.9631, 0.8435 respectively. Accuracy of the program (0.9004) is higher than general ophthalmologists (0.8195). Specificity of the program (0.9635) is higher than glaucoma specialists (0.9366).Conclusions: The program delivers superior results in diagnosing early POAG. This study’s hybrid deep learning-machine learning framework can assist with clinical decision for early POAG effectively.
