Utility of Machine Learning in the Prediction of Post-Hepatectomy Liver Failure in Liver Cancer.

Posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a serious complication associated with high mortality rates. Machine learning (ML) has rapidly developed and may outperform traditional models in predicting PHLF in patients who have undergone hepatectomy. This study aimed to predict PHLF using ML and compare its performance with that of traditional scoring systems. The clinicopathological data of 334 patients who underwent liver resection were retrospectively collected. The Pycaret library, a simple, open-source machine learning library, was used to compare multiple classification models for PHLF prediction. The predictive performance of 15 ML algorithms was compared using the mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and accuracy, and the best-fit model was selected among 15 ML algorithms. Next, the predictive performance of the selected ML-PHLF model was compared with that of routine scoring systems, the albumin-bilirubin score (ALBI) and the fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index, using AUROC. The best model was extreme gradient boosting (accuracy:93.1%; AUROC:0.863) among the 15 ML algorithms. As compared with ALBI and FIB-4, the ML PHLF model had higher AUROC for predicting PHLF. The novel ML model for predicting PHLF outperformed routine scoring systems.

Enhancing Health and Wellness: Deep Learning Powered Exercise Recognition and Tracking

Abstract: This project aims to develop a React-based web application that enables users to track, analyze, manage, and schedule their workout routines. Additionally, the application incorporates a machine learning model that utilizes the user’s web camera to track their movements and count reps, sets, and calories burned. This innovative feature provides users with a more accurate representation of their workout progress and empowers them to make data-driven decisions regarding their fitness goals. To achieve this, we utilized various technologies such as React for the frontend, Node.js for the backend, and MongoDB for the database. We also integrated TensorFlow.js, an open-source machine learning library, to build the ML model that powers the application’s tracking and analysis capabilities. Furthermore, we designed the user interface using Bootstrap with Vanilla CSS to ensure a responsive and user-friendly experience. Through this project, our primary objective was to address the limitations of existing workout tracking applications that heavily rely on subjective and often inaccurate user input. Our solution offers a more objective and efficient approach to tracking fitness progress. We firmly believe that this technology has the potential to revolutionize the fitness industry. Overall, our project showcases the power of machine learning and its ability to enhance people’s lives in meaningful ways.

Protecting Children from Harmful Audio Content: Automated Profanity Detection From English Audio in Songs and Social-Media

A novel approach for the automated detection of profanity in English audio songs using machine learning techniques. One of the primary drawbacks of existing systems is only confined to textual data. The proposed method utilizes a combination of feature extraction techniques and machine learning algorithms to identify profanity in audio songs. Specifically, the approach employs the popular feature extraction techniques of Term frequency–inverse document frequency (TF-IDF), Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) and Doc2vec to extract relevant features from the audio songs. TF-IDF is used to capture the frequency and importance of each word in the song, while BERT is utilized to extract contextualized representations of words that can capture more nuanced meanings. To capture the semantic meaning of words in audio songs, also explored the use of the Doc2Vec model, which is a neural network-based approach that can extract relevant features from the audio songs. The study utilizes Open Whisper, an open-source machine learning library, to develop and implement the approach. A dataset of English audio songs was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The results showed that both the TF-IDF and BERT models outperformed the Doc2Vec model in terms of accuracy in identifying profanity in English audio songs. The proposed approach has potential applications in identifying profanity in various forms of audio content, including songs, audio clips, social media, reels, and shorts.

TorchDIVA: An extensible computational model of speech production built on an open-source machine learning library.

The DIVA model is a computational model of speech motor control that combines a simulation of the brain regions responsible for speech production with a model of the human vocal tract. The model is currently implemented in Matlab Simulink; however, this is less than ideal as most of the development in speech technology research is done in Python. This means there is a wealth of machine learning tools which are freely available in the Python ecosystem that cannot be easily integrated with DIVA. We present TorchDIVA, a full rebuild of DIVA in Python using PyTorch tensors. DIVA source code was directly translated from Matlab to Python, and built-in Simulink signal blocks were implemented from scratch. After implementation, the accuracy of each module was evaluated via systematic block-by-block validation. The TorchDIVA model is shown to produce outputs that closely match those of the original DIVA model, with a negligible difference between the two. We additionally present an example of the extensibility of TorchDIVA as a research platform. Speech quality enhancement in TorchDIVA is achieved through an integration with an existing PyTorch generative vocoder called DiffWave. A modified DiffWave mel-spectrum upsampler was trained on human speech waveforms and conditioned on the TorchDIVA speech production. The results indicate improved speech quality metrics in the DiffWave-enhanced output as compared to the baseline. This enhancement would have been difficult or impossible to accomplish in the original Matlab implementation. This proof-of-concept demonstrates the value TorchDIVA can bring to the research community. Researchers can download the new implementation at: https://github.com/skinahan/DIVA_PyTorch.

Impact of data quality on supervised machine learning: Case study on drilling vibrations

Training complex machine learning and deep learning models has become straightforward with the advent of highly efficient, open-source machine learning libraries. Supervised classification techniques such as logistic regression, random forests, and neural networks have also gained popularity in the drilling industry on the back of promising results. As a result, these techniques have been increasingly researched, especially in the domain of drilling vibrations. However, much of this research interest has been limited to finding the best classification model for estimating severity of downhole vibrations. While the choice of classification model is important, we argue that the successful implementation and adoption of machine learning technologies is equally dependent on correctly studying, cleaning, pre-processing the vibration drilling data before applying machine learning techniques. We show that, in certain cases, correctly pre-processing the data guarantees competitive classification performance regardless of the choice of classification model. Specifically, we empirically investigate how factors such as data sampling frequency, data labeling technique, feature extraction technique, and class imbalance impact the performance of different popular classifiers, when dealing with drilling data. We make recommendations specific to vibration classification and highlight pitfalls of certain techniques in that context. Finally, we also develop a step-by-step workflow which enables users to select the correct parameters and techniques at every step, from data collection to model training.

Towards scalable online machine learning collaborations with OpenML

Is massively collaborative machine learning possible? Can we share and organize our collective knowledge of machine learning to solve ever more challenging problems? In a way, yes: as a community, we are already very successful at developing high-quality open-source machine learning libraries, thanks to frictionless collaboration platforms for software development. However, code is only one aspect. The answer is much less clear when we also consider the data that goes into these algorithms and the exact models that are produced. A tremendous amount of work and experience goes into the collection, cleaning, and preprocessing of data and the design, evaluation, and finetuning of models, yet very little of this is shared and organized in a way so that others can easily build on it. Suppose one had a global platform for sharing machine learning datasets, models, and reproducible experiments in a frictionless way so that anybody could chip in at any time to share a good model, add or improve data, or suggest an idea. OpenML is an open-source initiative to create such a platform. It allows anyone to share datasets, machine learning pipelines, and full experiments, organizes all of it online with rich metadata, and enables anyone to reuse and build on them in novel and unexpected ways. All data is open and accessible through APIs, and it is readily integrated into popular machine learning tools to allow easy sharing of models and experiments. This openness also allows a budding ecosystem of automated processes to scale up machine learning further, such as discovering similar datasets, creating systematic benchmarks, or learning from all collected results how to build the best machine learning models and even automatically doing so for any new dataset. We welcome all of you to become a part of it.

Potential for Big Data Analysis Using AI in the Field of Clinical Pharmacy

Industrial reforms utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) have advanced remarkably in recent years. The application of AI to big data analysis in the medical information field has also been advancing and is expected to be used to find drug adverse effects that cannot be predicted by conventional methods. We have developed an adverse drug reactions analysis system that uses machine learning and data from the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database. The system was developed using the C# programming language and incorporates the open source machine learning library Accord.Net. Potential analytical capabilities of the system include discovering unknown drug adverse effects and evaluating drug-induced adverse events in pharmaceutical management. However, to apply the system to pharmaceutical management, it is important to examine the characteristics and suitability of the level of AI used in the system and to select statistical methods or machine learning when appropriate. If these points are addressed, there is potential for pharmaceutical management to be individualized and optimized in the clinical setting by using the developed system to analyze big data. The system also has the potential to allow individual healthcare facilities such as hospitals and pharmacies to contribute to drug repositioning, including the discovery of new efficacies, interactions, and drug adverse events.

Data Pre Processing for Machine Learning Models using Python Libraries

Data pre-processing is the process of transforming the raw data into useful dataset. Data pre-processing is one of the most important phase of any machine learning model because the quality and efficiency of any machine learning model directly depends upon the data-set, if we skip this step and design a model with data sets containing missing values then the model we have designed will not be that efficient and will be inconsistent model. This paper describes the methodology for pre-processing the data in seven sequence of steps using python powerful libraries which are open source machine learning libraries that support both supervised and unsupervised learning like pandas is a high level data manipulation tool, scikit learn which provides various tools for model fitting, data pre-processing, model selection and many other utilities. These steps include dealing with missing value, categorical values, importing data sets etc. This analysis helps in cleaning and transforming the datasets which future applied to any learning model and produce a efficient machine learning model.

Multi-pattern algorithm for first-break picking employing open-source machine learning libraries

Accurate first-break (FB) onsets are crucial in processing seismic data, e.g. for deriving statics solution or building velocity models via tomography. Ever-increasing volumes of seismic data require automatic algorithms for FB picking. Most of the existing techniques are based either on simple triggering algorithms that rely on basic properties of seismic traces or on neural network architectures that are too complex to be easily trained and re-used in another survey. Here we propose a solution that addresses the issue of multi-level analysis using a time-sequence pattern-recognition process implemented in the newest open-source machine learning library like Keras or Scikit-Learn. We use well-established methods such as STA/LTA, entropy, fractal dimension or higher-order statistics to provide patterns required for generative model training with artificial neural networks (ANN), Support Vector Regression (SVR) and an implementation of gradient boosted decision trees – XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting). FB picking is cast as the binary classification that requires a model to differentiate FB sample from all other samples in a seismic trace. Our workflow (provided freely as a Jupyter Notebook) is robust, easily adaptable and flexible in a way of adding new pattern generators that might contribute to even better performance, while already-trained models can be saved and re-used for another dataset collected with similar acquisition parameters (e.g., in multi-line surveys). Application to real seismic data showed that the models trained on 1000 and 340,100 manually-picked FB onsets are able to predict FB on the rest of 470,000 of traces with the success rate of nearly 90% and 95%, respectively.

Enterprise search: A state of the art

Enterprise search is changing. The explosion of information within organizations, technological advances and availability of free OpenSource machine learning libraries offer many possibilities. Eighteen informants from practice, academia, search technology vendors and large organizations (Oil and Gas, Governments, Pharmaceuticals, Aerospace and Retail) were interviewed to assess challenges and future directions. The findings confirmed the existence of the ‘Google Habitus’, technology propaganda and a need to transcend disciplines for a Systems thinking approach toward enterprise search. This encompasses information management, user search literacy, governance, learning feedback loops as well as technology. A novel four-level model for enterprise search use cases is presented, covering search as a utility, search as an answer machine, search task apps and a discovery engine. This could be used to reframe enterprise search perceptions, expanding possibilities and improving business outcomes.
