Accurate Diabetes Risk Stratification Using Machine Learning: Role of Missing Value and Outliers
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases in which blood sugar levels are too high. About 8.8% of the world was diabetic in 2017. It is projected that this will reach nearly 10% by 2045. The major challenge is that when machine learning-based classifiers are applied to such data sets for risk stratification, leads to lower performance. Thus, our objective is to develop an optimized and robust machine learning (ML) system under the assumption that missing values or outliers if replaced by a median configuration will yield higher risk stratification accuracy. This ML-based risk stratification is designed, optimized and evaluated, where: (i) the features are extracted and optimized from the six feature selection techniques (random forest, logistic regression, mutual information, principal component analysis, analysis of variance, and Fisher discriminant ratio) and combined with ten different types of classifiers (linear discriminant analysis, quadratic discriminant analysis, naïve Bayes, Gaussian process classification, support vector machine, artificial neural network, Adaboost, logistic regression, decision tree, and random forest) under the hypothesis that both missing values and outliers when replaced by computed medians will improve the risk stratification accuracy. Pima Indian diabetic dataset (768 patients: 268 diabetic and 500 controls) was used. Our results demonstrate that on replacing the missing values and outliers by group median and median values, respectively and further using the combination of random forest feature selection and random forest classification technique yields an accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and area under the curve as: 92.26%, 95.96%, 79.72%, 91.14%, 91.20%, and 0.93, respectively. This is an improvement of 10% over previously developed techniques published in literature. The system was validated for its stability and reliability. RF-based model showed the best performance when outliers are replaced by median values.

Role of Ensemble Deep Learning for Brain Tumor Classification in Multiple Magnetic Resonance Imaging Sequence Data
The biopsy is a gold standard method for tumor grading. However, due to its invasive nature, it has sometimes proved fatal for brain tumor patients. As a result, a non-invasive computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tool is required. Recently, many magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based CAD tools have been proposed for brain tumor grading. The MRI has several sequences, which can express tumor structure in different ways. However, a suitable MRI sequence for brain tumor classification is not yet known. The most common brain tumor is ‘glioma’, which is the most fatal form. Therefore, in the proposed study, to maximize the classification ability between low-grade versus high-grade glioma, three datasets were designed comprising three MRI sequences: T1-Weighted (T1W), T2-weighted (T2W), and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR). Further, five well-established convolutional neural networks, AlexNet, VGG16, ResNet18, GoogleNet, and ResNet50 were adopted for tumor classification. An ensemble algorithm was proposed using the majority vote of above five deep learning (DL) models to produce more consistent and improved results than any individual model. Five-fold cross validation (K5-CV) protocol was adopted for training and testing. For the proposed ensembled classifier with K5-CV, the highest test accuracies of 98.88 ± 0.63%, 97.98 ± 0.86%, and 94.75 ± 0.61% were achieved for FLAIR, T2W, and T1W-MRI data, respectively. FLAIR-MRI data was found to be most significant for brain tumor classification, where it showed a 4.17% and 0.91% improvement in accuracy against the T1W-MRI and T2W-MRI sequence data, respectively. The proposed ensembled algorithm (MajVot) showed significant improvements in the average accuracy of three datasets of 3.60%, 2.84%, 1.64%, 4.27%, and 1.14%, respectively, against AlexNet, VGG16, ResNet18, GoogleNet, and ResNet50.

Segmentation-Based Classification Deep Learning Model Embedded with Explainable AI for COVID-19 Detection in Chest X-ray Scans
Background and Motivation: COVID-19 has resulted in a massive loss of life during the last two years. The current imaging-based diagnostic methods for COVID-19 detection in multiclass pneumonia-type chest X-rays are not so successful in clinical practice due to high error rates. Our hypothesis states that if we can have a segmentation-based classification error rate <5%, typically adopted for 510 (K) regulatory purposes, the diagnostic system can be adapted in clinical settings. Method: This study proposes 16 types of segmentation-based classification deep learning-based systems for automatic, rapid, and precise detection of COVID-19. The two deep learning-based segmentation networks, namely UNet and UNet+, along with eight classification models, namely VGG16, VGG19, Xception, InceptionV3, Densenet201, NASNetMobile, Resnet50, and MobileNet, were applied to select the best-suited combination of networks. Using the cross-entropy loss function, the system performance was evaluated by Dice, Jaccard, area-under-the-curve (AUC), and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) and validated using Grad-CAM in explainable AI framework. Results: The best performing segmentation model was UNet, which exhibited the accuracy, loss, Dice, Jaccard, and AUC of 96.35%, 0.15%, 94.88%, 90.38%, and 0.99 (p-value <0.0001), respectively. The best performing segmentation-based classification model was UNet+Xception, which exhibited the accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC of 97.45%, 97.46%, 97.45%, 97.43%, and 0.998 (p-value <0.0001), respectively. Our system outperformed existing methods for segmentation-based classification models. The mean improvement of the UNet+Xception system over all the remaining studies was 8.27%. Conclusion: The segmentation-based classification is a viable option as the hypothesis (error rate <5%) holds true and is thus adaptable in clinical practice.

Bias Investigation in Artificial Intelligence Systems for Early Detection of Parkinson’s Disease: A Narrative Review
Background and Motivation: Diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is often based on medical attention and clinical signs. It is subjective and does not have a good prognosis. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has played a promising role in the diagnosis of PD. However, it introduces bias due to lack of sample size, poor validation, clinical evaluation, and lack of big data configuration. The purpose of this study is to compute the risk of bias (RoB) automatically. Method: The PRISMA search strategy was adopted to select the best 39 AI studies out of 85 PD studies closely associated with early diagnosis PD. The studies were used to compute 30 AI attributes (based on 6 AI clusters), using AP(ai)Bias 1.0 (AtheroPointTM, Roseville, CA, USA), and the mean aggregate score was computed. The studies were ranked and two cutoffs (Moderate-Low (ML) and High-Moderate (MH)) were determined to segregate the studies into three bins: low-, moderate-, and high-bias. Result: The ML and HM cutoffs were 3.50 and 2.33, respectively, which constituted 7, 13, and 6 for low-, moderate-, and high-bias studies. The best and worst architectures were “deep learning with sketches as outcomes” and “machine learning with Electroencephalography,” respectively. We recommend (i) the usage of power analysis in big data framework, (ii) that it must undergo scientific validation using unseen AI models, and (iii) that it should be taken towards clinical evaluation for reliability and stability tests. Conclusion: The AI is a vital component for the diagnosis of early PD and the recommendations must be followed to lower the RoB.

Four Types of Multiclass Frameworks for Pneumonia Classification and Its Validation in X-ray Scans Using Seven Types of Deep Learning Artificial Intelligence Models
Background and Motivation: The novel coronavirus causing COVID-19 is exceptionally contagious, highly mutative, decimating human health and life, as well as the global economy, by consistent evolution of new pernicious variants and outbreaks. The reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction currently used for diagnosis has major limitations. Furthermore, the multiclass lung classification X-ray systems having viral, bacterial, and tubercular classes—including COVID-19—are not reliable. Thus, there is a need for a robust, fast, cost-effective, and easily available diagnostic method. Method: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been shown to revolutionize all walks of life, particularly medical imaging. This study proposes a deep learning AI-based automatic multiclass detection and classification of pneumonia from chest X-ray images that are readily available and highly cost-effective. The study has designed and applied seven highly efficient pre-trained convolutional neural networks—namely, VGG16, VGG19, DenseNet201, Xception, InceptionV3, NasnetMobile, and ResNet152—for classification of up to five classes of pneumonia. Results: The database consisted of 18,603 scans with two, three, and five classes. The best results were using DenseNet201, VGG16, and VGG16, respectively having accuracies of 99.84%, 96.7%, 92.67%; sensitivity of 99.84%, 96.63%, 92.70%; specificity of 99.84, 96.63%, 92.41%; and AUC of 1.0, 0.97, 0.92 (p < 0.0001 for all), respectively. Our system outperformed existing methods by 1.2% for the five-class model. The online system takes <1 s while demonstrating reliability and stability. Conclusions: Deep learning AI is a powerful paradigm for multiclass pneumonia classification.

Attention-Enabled Ensemble Deep Learning Models and Their Validation for Depression Detection: A Domain Adoption Paradigm
Depression is increasingly prevalent, leading to higher suicide risk. Depression detection and sentimental analysis of text inputs in cross-domain frameworks are challenging. Solo deep learning (SDL) and ensemble deep learning (EDL) models are not robust enough. Recently, attention mechanisms have been introduced in SDL. We hypothesize that attention-enabled EDL (aeEDL) architectures are superior compared to attention-not-enabled SDL (aneSDL) or aeSDL models. We designed EDL-based architectures with attention blocks to build eleven kinds of SDL model and five kinds of EDL model on four domain-specific datasets. We scientifically validated our models by comparing “seen” and “unseen” paradigms (SUP). We benchmarked our results against the SemEval (2016) sentimental dataset and established reliability tests. The mean increase in accuracy for EDL over their corresponding SDL components was 4.49%. Regarding the effect of attention block, the increase in the mean accuracy (AUC) of aeSDL over aneSDL was 2.58% (1.73%), and the increase in the mean accuracy (AUC) of aeEDL over aneEDL was 2.76% (2.80%). When comparing EDL vs. SDL for non-attention and attention, the mean aneEDL was greater than aneSDL by 4.82% (3.71%), and the mean aeEDL was greater than aeSDL by 5.06% (4.81%). For the benchmarking dataset (SemEval), the best-performing aeEDL model (ALBERT+BERT-BiLSTM) was superior to the best aeSDL (BERT-BiLSTM) model by 3.86%. Our scientific validation and robust design showed a difference of only 2.7% in SUP, thereby meeting the regulatory constraints. We validated all our hypotheses and further demonstrated that aeEDL is a very effective and generalized method for detecting symptoms of depression in cross-domain settings.

Ten Fast Transfer Learning Models for Carotid Ultrasound Plaque Tissue Characterization in Augmentation Framework Embedded with Heatmaps for Stroke Risk Stratification
Background and Purpose: Only 1–2% of the internal carotid artery asymptomatic plaques are unstable as a result of >80% stenosis. Thus, unnecessary efforts can be saved if these plaques can be characterized and classified into symptomatic and asymptomatic using non-invasive B-mode ultrasound. Earlier plaque tissue characterization (PTC) methods were machine learning (ML)-based, which used hand-crafted features that yielded lower accuracy and unreliability. The proposed study shows the role of transfer learning (TL)-based deep learning models for PTC. Methods: As pertained weights were used in the supercomputer framework, we hypothesize that transfer learning (TL) provides improved performance compared with deep learning. We applied 11 kinds of artificial intelligence (AI) models, 10 of them were augmented and optimized using TL approaches—a class of Atheromatic™ 2.0 TL (AtheroPoint™, Roseville, CA, USA) that consisted of (i–ii) Visual Geometric Group-16, 19 (VGG16, 19); (iii) Inception V3 (IV3); (iv–v) DenseNet121, 169; (vi) XceptionNet; (vii) ResNet50; (viii) MobileNet; (ix) AlexNet; (x) SqueezeNet; and one DL-based (xi) SuriNet-derived from UNet. We benchmark 11 AI models against our earlier deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model. Results: The best performing TL was MobileNet, with accuracy and area-under-the-curve (AUC) pairs of 96.10 ± 3% and 0.961 (p < 0.0001), respectively. In DL, DCNN was comparable to SuriNet, with an accuracy of 95.66% and 92.7 ± 5.66%, and an AUC of 0.956 (p < 0.0001) and 0.927 (p < 0.0001), respectively. We validated the performance of the AI architectures with established biomarkers such as greyscale median (GSM), fractal dimension (FD), higher-order spectra (HOS), and visual heatmaps. We benchmarked against previously developed Atheromatic™ 1.0 ML and showed an improvement of 12.9%. Conclusions: TL is a powerful AI tool for PTC into symptomatic and asymptomatic plaques.

Unseen Artificial Intelligence—Deep Learning Paradigm for Segmentation of Low Atherosclerotic Plaque in Carotid Ultrasound: A Multicenter Cardiovascular Study
Background: The early detection of carotid wall plaque is recommended in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in moderate-risk patients. Previous techniques for B-mode carotid atherosclerotic wall plaque segmentation used artificial intelligence (AI) methods on monoethnic databases, where training and testing are from the “same” ethnic group (“Seen AI”). Therefore, the versatility of the system is questionable. This is the first study of its kind that uses the “Unseen AI” paradigm where training and testing are from “different” ethnic groups. We hypothesized that deep learning (DL) models should perform in 10% proximity between “Unseen AI” and “Seen AI”. Methodology: Two cohorts from multi-ethnic groups (330 Japanese and 300 Hong Kong (HK)) were used for the validation of our hypothesis. We used a four-layered UNet architecture for the segmentation of the atherosclerotic wall with low plaque. “Unseen AI” (training: Japanese, testing: HK or vice versa) and “Seen AI” experiments (single ethnicity or mixed ethnicity) were performed. Evaluation was conducted by measuring the wall plaque area. Statistical tests were conducted for its stability and reliability. Results: When using the UNet DL architecture, the “Unseen AI” pair one (Training: 330 Japanese and Testing: 300 HK), the mean accuracy, dice-similarity, and correlation-coefficient were 98.55, 78.38, and 0.80 (p < 0.0001), respectively, while for “Unseen AI” pair two (Training: 300 HK and Testing: 330 Japanese), these were 98.67, 82.49, and 0.87 (p < 0.0001), respectively. Using “Seen AI”, the same parameters were 99.01, 86.89 and 0.92 (p < 0.0001), respectively. Conclusion: We demonstrated that “Unseen AI” was in close proximity (<10%) to “Seen AI”, validating our DL model for low atherosclerotic wall plaque segmentation. The online system runs < 1 s.

GeneAI 3.0: powerful, novel, generalized hybrid and ensemble deep learning frameworks for miRNA species classification of stationary patterns from nucleotides
Due to the intricate relationship between the small non-coding ribonucleic acid (miRNA) sequences, the classification of miRNA species, namely Human, Gorilla, Rat, and Mouse is challenging. Previous methods are not robust and accurate. In this study, we present AtheroPoint’s GeneAI 3.0, a powerful, novel, and generalized method for extracting features from the fixed patterns of purines and pyrimidines in each miRNA sequence in ensemble paradigms in machine learning (EML) and convolutional neural network (CNN)-based deep learning (EDL) frameworks. GeneAI 3.0 utilized five
conventional
(Entropy, Dissimilarity, Energy, Homogeneity, and Contrast), and three
contemporary
(Shannon entropy, Hurst exponent, Fractal dimension) features, to generate a
composite
feature set from given miRNA sequences which were then passed into our ML and DL classification framework. A set of 11 new classifiers was designed consisting of 5 EML and 6 EDL for binary/multiclass classification. It was benchmarked against 9 solo ML (SML), 6 solo DL (SDL), 12 hybrid DL (HDL) models, resulting in a total of 11 + 27 = 38 models were designed. Four hypotheses were formulated and validated using explainable AI (XAI) as well as reliability/statistical tests. The order of the mean performance using accuracy (ACC)/area-under-the-curve (AUC) of the 24 DL classifiers was: EDL > HDL > SDL. The mean performance of EDL models with CNN layers was superior to that without CNN layers by 0.73%/0.92%. Mean performance of EML models was superior to SML models with improvements of ACC/AUC by 6.24%/6.46%. EDL models performed significantly better than EML models, with a mean increase in ACC/AUC of 7.09%/6.96%. The GeneAI 3.0 tool produced expected XAI feature plots, and the statistical tests showed significant
p
-values. Ensemble models with composite features are highly effective and generalized models for effectively classifying miRNA sequences.
