This study sought to further explore asthma heteroge neity through determination of multiple patient groups by using novel machine le arning (ML) approaches and large-scale real-world data.” The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Cleveland Clinic, “We used electronic health records of patients with asthma followed at the Clevelan d Clinic between 2010 and 2021. We employed k-prototype unsupervised ML to devel op a clustering model where predictors were age, gender, race, body mass index ( BMI), pre- and post-bronchodilator (BD) spirometry measurements, and the usage o f inhaled/systemic steroids. We applied elbow and silhouette plots to select the optimal number of clusters. These clusters were then evaluated through LightGBM ’s supervised ML approach on their cross validated F1 score to support their dis tinctiveness. Data from 13,498 patients with asthma with available post-BD spiro metry measurements were extracted to identify 5 stable clusters. Cluster 1 inclu ded a young non-severe asthma population with normal lung function and higher fr equency of acute exacerbation (0.8 /patient-year). Cluster 2 had the highest BMI (mean (SD): 44.44 (7.83) kg/m2), and the highest proportion of female (77.5% ) and African Americans (28.9%). Cluster 3 comprised patients with normal lung function. Cluster 4 included patients with lower FEV1% of 77.03 (12.79) and poor response to bronchodilators. Cluster 5 had the lowest FEV1% of 68.08 (15.02), the highest post-BD reversibility, and the highest proportion of severe asthma (44.9%) and blood eosinophilia (>300 cells/mL) (34.8%).”

    50-51页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – New research on Support Vector Machine s is the subject of a report. According to news originating from Nanjing, People ’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Forest fires t hreaten global ecosystems, socio-economic structures, and public safety. Accurat ely assessing forest fire susceptibility is critical for effective environmental management.” Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Ministry of Edu cation, “Supervised learning methods dominate this assessment, relying on a subs tantial dataset of forest fire occurrences for model training. However, obtainin g precise forest fire location data remains challenging. To address this issue, semi-supervised learning emerges as a viable solution, leveraging both a limited set of collected samples and unlabeled data containing environmental factors fo r training. Our study employed the transductive support vector machine (TSVM), a key semi-supervised learning method, to assess forest fire susceptibility in sc enarios with limited samples. We conducted a comparative analysis, evaluating it s performance against widely used supervised learning methods. The assessment ar ea for forest fire susceptibility lies in Dayu County, Jiangxi Province, China, renowned for its vast forest cover and frequent fire incidents. We analyzed and generated maps depicting forest fire susceptibility, evaluating prediction accur acies for both supervised and semi-supervised learning methods across various sm all sample scenarios (e.g., 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, and 32 samples). Our findi ngs indicate that TSVM exhibits superior prediction accuracy compared to supervi sed learning with limited samples, yielding more plausible forest fire susceptib ility maps. For instance, at sample sizes of 4, 16, and 28, TSVM achieves predic tion accuracies of approximately 0.8037, 0.9257, and 0.9583, respectively. In co ntrast, random forests, the top performers in supervised learning, demonstrate a ccuracies of approximately 0.7424, 0.8916, and 0.9431, respectively, for the sam e small sample sizes. Additionally, we discussed three key aspects: TSVM paramet er configuration, the impact of unlabeled sample size, and performance within ty pical sample sizes.”

Current methods of grain cultivar de tection and classification are subjective, destructive, and time-consuming. Ther efore, there is a need to develop nondestructive methods for sorting the cultiva rs of proso millet. In this study, the feasibility of using near-infrared (NIR) hyperspectral imaging (900-1700 nm) to discriminate between different cultivars of proso millet seeds was evaluated. A total of 5000 proso millet seeds were ran domly obtained and investigated from the ten most popular cultivars in the Unite d States, namely Cerise, Cope, Earlybird, Huntsman, Minco, Plateau, Rise, Snowbi rd, Sunrise, and Sunup. To reduce the large dimensionality of the hyperspectral imaging, principal component analysis (PCA) was applied, and the first two princ ipal components were used as spectral features for building the classification m odels because they had the largest variance.”
