  • Use of Attribute Driven Incremental Discretization and Logic Learning
    Cangelosi et al. BMC Bioinformatics 2014, 15(Suppl 5):S4 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/15/S5/S4 RESEARCH Open Access Use of Attribute Driven Incremental Discretization and Logic Learning Machine to build a prognostic classifier for neuroblastoma patients Davide Cangelosi1, Marco Muselli2†, Stefano Parodi2, Fabiola Blengio1, Pamela Becherini1, Rogier Versteeg3, Massimo Conte4, Luigi Varesio1*† From Tenth Annual Meeting of the Italian Society of Bioinformatics (BITS) Udine, Italy. 21-23 May 2013 Abstract Background: Cancer patient’s outcome is written, in part, in the gene expression profile of the tumor. We previously identified a 62-probe sets signature (NB-hypo) to identify tissue hypoxia in neuroblastoma tumors and showed that NB-hypo stratified neuroblastoma patients in good and poor outcome [1]. It was important to develop a prognostic classifier to cluster patients into risk groups benefiting of defined therapeutic approaches. Novel classification and data discretization approaches can be instrumental for the generation of accurate predictors and robust tools for clinical decision support. We explored the application to gene expression data of Rulex, a novel software suite including the Attribute Driven Incremental Discretization technique for transforming continuous variables into simplified discrete ones and the Logic Learning Machine model for intelligible rule generation. Results: We applied Rulex components to the problem of predicting the outcome of neuroblastoma patients on the bases of 62 probe sets NB-hypo gene expression signature. The resulting classifier consisted in 9 rules utilizing mainly two conditions of the relative expression of 11 probe sets. These rules were very effective predictors, as shown in an independent validation set, demonstrating the validity of the LLM algorithm applied to microarray data and patients’ classification.

Furthermore, the widespread use of remote monitoring medical devices, under the umbrella of the “Internet of Medical Things” (IoMT), has simplified the retrieval of patient information as they allow continuous monitoring and direct access to data by healthcare providers. However, due to possible issues in real-world settings, such as loss of connectivity, irregular use, misuse, or poor adherence to a monitoring program, the data collected might not be sufficient to implement accurate algorithms. For this reason, data augmentation techniques can be used to create synthetic datasets sufficiently large to train machine learning models. In this work, we apply the concept of generative adversarial networks (GANs) to perform a data Citation: Vaccari, I.; Orani, V.; augmentation from patient data obtained through IoMT sensors for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Paglialonga, A.; Cambiaso, E.; Disease (COPD) monitoring.

  • A Comparative Evaluation of Machine Learning Algorithms: Binary Classification on Medical Data
    University of Piraeus Department of Digital Systems Piraeus, Greece A Comparative Evaluation of Machine Learning Algorithms: Binary Classification on Medical Data A master’s thesis for the postgraduate programme “Digital Systems and Services: Big Data and Analytics” Panagiotis Goumenakis ME1709 Supervisor Prof. Dr. Andriana Prentza Piraeus, September 2019 Abstract Nowadays Machine Learning (ML) has been well applied and recognised as an effective tool to handle a wide range of real situations, including medical implementations. As the amount of data in the field of healthcare grows year by year, there is a remarkable development in disease forecasting with the help of ML applications. From the prediction of epidemic outburst and several diseases to contributing with better means of labelling and storing healthcare data, implementation of ML in the field of healthcare indicates accurate results. This thesis focuses mainly on two major aspects of ML areas. Firstly, on analysing a medical dataset providing visualisations together with invaluable information on dataset’s variables. Secondly, it emphasizes on implementing the appropriate algorithms to execute binary classification in order to determine whether a person is labelled as infected or not infected based on feature values of the sample set. Choosing the most suitable approach is crucial as it could potentially improve the clinical decisions as well as patients’ survival time when applied to real world problems. The research is based on the mesothelioma disease dataset, allocated on the UCI repository, containing 324 examples with 35 attributes. Regarding the unsupervised learning part, in order to deduct results and conclusions, various ML classification algorithms are used to perform the analysis such as Decision Tree, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Naive Bayes Classifier, Logistic Regression, k Nearest Neighbours (kNN), and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN).

Abstract L'azienda sportiva sta attraversando una gigantesca trasformazione digitale incentrata sulle immagini, tempo reale e analisi dati utilizzati nelle competizioni. I metodi di processo convenzionali nella gestione dello sport come il fitness, la salute, la esercitazione, lo sviluppo, la realizzazione di partite e i fondamenti sono tutti rivoluzionati dalla digitalizzazione dello sport. È sempre noto che è necessaria una metodologia digitale semplice per organizzare e costruire una strategia fattibile. Concordiamo che la soluzione sia una digitalizzazione sportiva cui evoluzione continua richiederebbe sfide così pervasive. La bontà della digitalizzazione degli sport ed atleti si basa su ciò che viene fatto con la raccolta di suoi dati. Il vantaggio competitivo va a coloro che possono produrre la massima intelligenza dei dati e agire tempestivamente. L'impatto su tutti gli caratteristiche delle operazioni della squadra sportiva è potenziale. I dati non prendono tutte le decisioni, ma consentono decisioni consapevoli. In queste circostanze e con una visione e predilezione per gli sport calcistici, abbiamo concepito un sistema di supporto decisionale, col nostro problema prospettivo di come un sistema di supporto decisionale per allenatori di calcio collabori con loro per prendere decisioni efficientemente. Per affrontare questo problema, elaboriamo un sistema di supporto alle decisioni degli allenatori di calcio. Il sistema è organizzato in due componenti combinati; la prima simula la predizione del vincitore della partita mediante una rete neurale guidata di dati.

    Learning a Behavior Model of Hybrid Systems Through Combining Model-Based Testing and Machine Learning (Full Version)? Bernhard K. Aichernig, Roderick Bloem, Masoud Ebrahimi, Martin Horn, Franz Pernkopf, Wolfgang Roth, Astrid Rupp, Martin Tappler, and Markus Tranninger Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Models play an essential role in the design process of cyber- physical systems. They form the basis for simulation and analysis and help in identifying design problems as early as possible. However, the construction of models that comprise physical and digital behavior is challenging. Therefore, there is considerable interest in learning such hybrid behavior by means of machine learning which requires sufficient and representative training data covering the behavior of the physical system adequately. In this work, we exploit a combination of automata learning and model-based testing to generate sufficient training data fully automatically. Experimental results on a platooning scenario show that recurrent neural networks learned with this data achieved significantly better results com- pared to models learned from randomly generated data. In particular, the classification error for crash detection is reduced by a factor of five and a similar F1-score is obtained with up to three orders of magnitude fewer training samples.
