Cardiovascular diseases, which involve heart and blood vessel dysfunctions, cause a higher number of deaths than any other disease in the world. Throughout history, many approaches have been developed to analyze cardiovascular health by diagnosing such conditions. One of the methodologies is recording and analyzing heart sounds to distinguish normal and abnormal functioning of the heart, which is called Phonocardiography. With the emergence of machine learning applications in healthcare, this process can be automated via the extraction of various features from phonocardiography signals and performing classification with several machine learning algorithms. Many studies have been conducted to extract time and frequency domain features from the phonocardiography signals by segmenting them first into individual heart cycles, and then by classifying them using different machine learning and deep learning approaches. In this study, various time and frequency domain features have been extracted using the complete signal rather than just segments of it. Random Forest algorithm was found to be the most successful algorithm in terms of accuracy as well as recall and precision.

The design of an analogue IC layout is a time-consuming and manual process. Despite several studies in the sector, some geometric restrictions have resulted in disadvantages in the process of automated analogue IC layout design. As a result, analogue design has a performance lag when compared to manual design. This prevents the deployment of a large range of automated tools. With the recent technical developments, this challenge is resolved using machine learning techniques. This study investigates performance-driven placement in the VLSI IC design process, as well as analogue IC performance prediction by utilizing various machine learning approaches. Further, several amplifier designs are simulated. From the simulation results, it is evident that, when compared to the manual layout, an improved performance is obtained by using the proposed approach.

Osteoarthritis is mainly a familiar kind of arthritis when an elastic tissue named Cartilage that softens the tops of the bones, cracks down. The Person with osteoarthritis can encompass joint pain, inflexibility, or inflammation and there is no particular examination for osteoarthritis and physicians take the amalgamation of both medical cum clinical record and X-rays imaging analysis to make a diagnosis of the state. Osteoarthritis is generally only detected following ache and bone scratch and in advance, analysis could permit for ultimate involvement to avoid cartilage worsening and bone injury. Through machine-learning algorithms, the system can be trained to automatically distinguish among people who would develop osteoarthritis and persons who would not with the detection of exact biochemical variances in the midpoint of the knee’s cartilage. The outcome of the Machine learning Techniques will give the persons who are pre-symptomatic by the occasion of the baseline imaging and also the reduction in liquid concentration. In this study, we present the analysis of various deep learning techniques for timely detection of osteoarthritis disease. Several subsets of machine learning called deep learning techniques have been in use for the timely detection of osteoarthritis disease; and therefore analysis is needed highly to choose the best as far as accuracy and reliability are concerned.

Skin cancer is typically growth and spread of cells or lesion on the uppermost part or layer of skin known as the epidermis. It is one of rarest and deadliest found type of cancer, if undetected or untreated at early stages may lead in patient’s demise. Dermatologists use dermatoscopic images to identify the type of skin cancer by identification of asymmetry, border, colour, texture & size mole or a lesion. This method of detection can also be applied using machine learning techniques for classification these images into respective of cancer. There have been various studies and techniques which have been proposed various researchers across the globe in order to improve the classification of these dermatoscopic images. The proposed studies primarily focus on classification of dermatoscopic images based on lesion’s colour and texture features followed by intelligent machine learning approaches. Advances in these machine intelligent approaches such as deep neural networks and convolutional neural networks can be applied on dermatoscopic images to identify their features. A CNN based approach provides a additional accuracy over feature extraction as the algorithm is applied on pixel in overall image size. CNN also provides the ability to perform huge chunk of mathematical operations which is basic requirement in case of image processing and machine learning. The CNN based algorithm can be used to classify the dermatoscopic images with better efficiency and overall accuracy with having power of artificial-neural-network.

AbstractThe rate of disability accumulation varies across multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Machine learning techniques may offer more powerful means to predict disease course in MS patients. In our study, 724 patients from the Comprehensive Longitudinal Investigation in MS at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (CLIMB study) and 400 patients from the EPIC dataset, University of California, San Francisco, were included in the analysis. The primary outcome was an increase in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) ≥ 1.5 (worsening) or not (non-worsening) at up to 5 years after the baseline visit. Classification models were built using the CLIMB dataset with patients’ clinical and MRI longitudinal observations in first 2 years, and further validated using the EPIC dataset. We compared the performance of three popular machine learning algorithms (SVM, Logistic Regression, and Random Forest) and three ensemble learning approaches (XGBoost, LightGBM, and a Meta-learner L). A “threshold” was established to trade-off the performance between the two classes. Predictive features were identified and compared among different models. Machine learning models achieved 0.79 and 0.83 AUC scores for the CLIMB and EPIC datasets, respectively, shortly after disease onset. Ensemble learning methods were more effective and robust compared to standalone algorithms. Two ensemble models, XGBoost and LightGBM were superior to the other four models evaluated in our study. Of variables evaluated, EDSS, Pyramidal Function, and Ambulatory Index were the top common predictors in forecasting the MS disease course. Machine learning techniques, in particular ensemble methods offer increased accuracy for the prediction of MS disease course.

Sentiment analysis helps to determine hidden intention of the concerned author of any topic and provides an evaluation report on the polarity of any document. The polarity may be positive, negative or neutral. It is observed that very often the data associated with the sentiment analysis consist of the feedback given by various specialists on any topic or product. Thus, the review may be categorized properly into any sort of class based on the polarity, in order to have a good knowledge about the product. This article proposes an approach to classify the review dataset made on basis of sentiment analysis into different polarity groups. Four machine learning algorithms viz., Naive Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) have been considered in this paper for classification process. The obtained result on values of accuracy of the algorithms are critically examined by using different performance parameters, applied on two different datasets.

Pathway and cell-type signatures are patterns present in transcriptome data that are associated with biological processes or phenotypic consequences. These signatures result from specific cell-type and pathway expression, but can require large transcriptomic compendia to detect. Machine learning techniques can be powerful tools in a practitioner’s toolkit for signature discovery through their ability to provide accurate and interpretable results. In the following review, we discuss various machine learning applications to extract pathway and cell-type signatures from transcriptomic compendia. We focus on the biological motivations and interpretation for both supervised and unsupervised learning approaches in this setting. We consider recent advances, including deep learning, and their applications to expanding bulk and single cell RNA data. As data and compute resources increase, opportunities for machine learning to aid in revealing biological signatures will continue to grow.
