Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreversible, progressive disorder that assaults the nerve cells of the brain. It is the most widely recognized kind of dementia among older adults. Apolipoprotein E (APOE), is one of the most common genetic risk factors for AD whose significant association with AD is observed in various genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common type of genetic variation among individuals. SNPs related to many common diseases like AD. SNPs are recognized as significant biomarkers for this disease, they help in understanding and detecting the disease in its early stages. Detecting SNPs biomarkers associated to the disease with high classification accuracy leads to early prediction and diagnosis. Machine learning techniques are utilized to discover new biomarkers of the disease. Sequential minimal optimization (SMO) algorithm with different kernels, Naive Bayes (NB), tree augmented Naive Bayes (TAN) and K2 learning algorithm have been applied on all genetic data of Alzheimer’s disease neuroimaging initiative phase 1 (ADNI-1)/Whole genome sequencing (WGS) datasets. The highest classification accuracy was achieved using 500 SNPs based on the [Formula: see text]-value threshold ([Formula: see text]-value [Formula: see text]). In whole genome approach ADNI-1, results revealed that NB and K2 learning algorithms scored an overall accuracy of 98% and 98.40%, respectively. In whole genome approach WGS, NB and K2 learning algorithms scored an overall accuracy of 99.63% and 99.75%, respectively.

Sentiment analysis has gained a lot of attention from researchers in the last year because it has been widely applied to a variety of application domains such as business, government, education, sports, tourism, biomedicine, and telecommunication services. Sentiment analysis is an automated computational method for studying or evaluating sentiments, feelings, and emotions expressed as comments, feedbacks, or critiques. The sentiment analysis process can be automated using machine learning techniques, which analyses text patterns faster. The supervised machine learning technique is the most used mechanism for sentiment analysis. The proposed work discusses the flow of sentiment analysis process and investigates the common supervised machine learning techniques such as multinomial naive bayes, Bernoulli naive bayes, logistic regression, support vector machine, random forest, K-nearest neighbor, decision tree, and deep learning techniques such as Long Short-Term Memory and Convolution Neural Network. The work examines such learning methods using standard data set and the experimental results of sentiment analysis demonstrate the performance of various classifiers taken in terms of the precision, recall, F1-score, RoC-Curve, accuracy, running time and k fold cross validation and helps in appreciating the novelty of the several deep learning techniques and also giving the user an overview of choosing the right technique for their application.

AbstractAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common health problem in elderly people. There has been considerable research toward the diagnosis and early detection of this disease in the past decade. The sensitivity of biomarkers and the accuracy of the detection techniques have been defined to be the key to an accurate diagnosis. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the research performed on the diagnosis of AD based on imaging and machine learning techniques. Different segmentation and machine learning techniques used for the diagnosis of AD are reviewed including thresholding, supervised and unsupervised learning, probabilistic techniques, Atlas-based approaches, and fusion of different image modalities. More recent and powerful classification techniques such as the enhanced probabilistic neural network of Ahmadlou and Adeli should be investigated with the goal of improving the diagnosis accuracy. A combination of different image modalities can help improve the diagnosis accuracy rate. Research is needed on the combination of modalities to discover multi-modal biomarkers.

AbstractBackgroundAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common, age-related, neurodegenerative disease that impairs a person’s ability to perform day-to-day activities. Diagnosing AD is challenging, especially in the early stages. Many patients still go undiagnosed, partly due to the complex heterogeneity in disease progression. This highlights a need for early prediction of the disease course to assist its treatment and tailor therapy options to the disease progression rate. Recent developments in machine learning techniques provide the potential to not only predict disease progression and trajectory of AD but also to classify the disease into different etiological subtypes.Methods and findingsThe work shown here clusters participants in distinct and multifaceted progression subgroups of AD and discusses an approach to predict the progression rate from baseline diagnosis. We observed that the myriad of clinically reported symptoms summarized in the proposed AD progression space corresponds directly with memory and cognitive measures, which are routinely used to monitor disease onset and progression. Our analysis demonstrated accurate prediction of disease progression after four years from the first 12 months of post-diagnosis clinical data (Area Under the Curve of 0.96 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.92-1.0), 0.81 (95% CI, 0.74-0.88) and 0.98 (95% CI, 0.96-1.0) for slow, moderate and fast progression rate patients respectively). Further, we explored the long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks to predict the trajectory of an individual patient’s progression.ConclusionThe machine learning techniques presented in this study may assist providers in identifying different progression rates and trajectories in the early stages of the disease, hence allowing for more efficient and personalized healthcare deliveries. With additional information about the progression rate of AD at hand, providers may further individualize the treatment plans. The predictive tests discussed in this study not only allow for early AD diagnosis but also facilitate the characterization of distinct AD subtypes relating to trajectories of disease progression. These findings are a crucial step forward for early disease detection. These models can be used to design improved clinical trials for AD research.
