Project description:Complicated structures consisting of multi-layers with a multi-modal array of device components, i.e., so-called patterned multi-layers, and their corresponding circuit designs for signal readout and addressing are used to achieve a macroscale electronic skin (e-skin). In contrast to this common approach, we realized an extremely simple macroscale e-skin only by employing a single-layered piezoresistive MWCNT-PDMS composite film with neither nano-, micro-, nor macro-patterns. It is the deep machine learning that made it possible to let such a simple bulky material play the role of a smart sensory device. A deep neural network (DNN) enabled us to process electrical resistance change induced by applied pressure and thereby to instantaneously evaluate the pressure level and the exact position under pressure. The great potential of this revolutionary concept for the attainment of pressure-distribution sensing on a macroscale area could expand its use to not only e-skin applications but to other high-end applications such as touch panels, portable flexible keyboard, sign language interpreting globes, safety diagnosis of social infrastructures, and the diagnosis of motility and peristalsis disorders in the gastrointestinal tract.

Project description:Quantum computing and artificial intelligence, combined together, may revolutionize future technologies. A significant school of thought regarding artificial intelligence is based on generative models. Here, we propose a general quantum algorithm for machine learning based on a quantum generative model. We prove that our proposed model is more capable of representing probability distributions compared with classical generative models and has exponential speedup in learning and inference at least for some instances if a quantum computer cannot be efficiently simulated classically. Our result opens a new direction for quantum machine learning and offers a remarkable example where a quantum algorithm shows exponential improvement over classical algorithms in an important application field.

Project description:Cancer driver genes, i.e., oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, are involved in the acquisition of important functions in tumors, providing a selective growth advantage, allowing uncontrolled proliferation and avoiding apoptosis. It is therefore important to identify these driver genes, both for the fundamental understanding of cancer and to help finding new therapeutic targets or biomarkers. Although the most frequently mutated driver genes have been identified, it is believed that many more remain to be discovered, particularly for driver genes specific to some cancer types. In this paper, we propose a new computational method called LOTUS to predict new driver genes. LOTUS is a machine-learning based approach which allows to integrate various types of data in a versatile manner, including information about gene mutations and protein-protein interactions. In addition, LOTUS can predict cancer driver genes in a pan-cancer setting as well as for specific cancer types, using a multitask learning strategy to share information across cancer types. We empirically show that LOTUS outperforms five other state-of-the-art driver gene prediction methods, both in terms of intrinsic consistency and prediction accuracy, and provide predictions of new cancer genes across many cancer types.

Project description:High-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a popular method, but it is accompanied by doublet rate problems that disturb the downstream analysis. Several computational approaches have been developed to detect doublets. However, most of these methods may yield satisfactory performance in some datasets but lack stability in others; thus, it is difficult to regard a single method as the gold standard which can be applied to all types of scenarios. It is a difficult and time-consuming task for researchers to choose the most appropriate software. We here propose Chord which implements a machine learning algorithm that integrates multiple doublet detection methods to address these issues. Chord had higher accuracy and stability than the individual approaches on different datasets containing real and synthetic data. Moreover, Chord was designed with a modular architecture port, which has high flexibility and adaptability to the incorporation of any new tools. Chord is a general solution to the doublet detection problem.

Project description:The development of various dynamic ansatz-constructing techniques has ushered in a new era, making the practical exploitation of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware for molecular simulations increasingly viable. However, such ansatz construction protocols incur substantial measurement costs during their execution. This work involves the development of a novel protocol that capitalizes on regenerative machine learning methodologies and many-body perturbation theoretical measures to construct a highly expressive and shallow ansatz within the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) framework with limited measurement costs. The regenerative machine learning model used in our work is trained with the basis vectors of a low-rank expansion of the N-electron Hilbert space to identify the dominant high-rank excited determinants without requiring a large number of quantum measurements. These selected excited determinants are iteratively incorporated within the ansatz through their low-rank decomposition. The reduction in the number of quantum measurements and ansatz depth manifests in the robustness of our method towards hardware noise, as demonstrated through numerical applications. Furthermore, the proposed method is highly compatible with state-of-the-art neural error mitigation techniques. This resource-efficient approach is quintessential for determining spectroscopic and other molecular properties, thereby facilitating the study of emerging chemical phenomena in the near-term quantum computing framework.

Project description:Developers proposing new machine learning for health (ML4H) tools often pledge to match or even surpass the performance of existing tools, yet the reality is usually more complicated. Reliable deployment of ML4H to the real world is challenging as examples from diabetic retinopathy or Covid-19 screening show. We envision an integrated framework of algorithm auditing and quality control that provides a path towards the effective and reliable application of ML systems in healthcare. In this editorial, we give a summary of ongoing work towards that vision and announce a call for participation to the special issue Machine Learning for Health: Algorithm Auditing & Quality Control in this journal to advance the practice of ML4H auditing.

Project description:Single molecule localisation (SML) microscopy is a fundamental tool for biological discoveries; it provides sub-diffraction spatial resolution images by detecting and localizing "all" the fluorescent molecules labeling the structure of interest. For this reason, the effective resolution of SML microscopy strictly depends on the algorithm used to detect and localize the single molecules from the series of microscopy frames. To adapt to the different imaging conditions that can occur in a SML experiment, all current localisation algorithms request, from the microscopy users, the choice of different parameters. This choice is not always easy and their wrong selection can lead to poor performance. Here we overcome this weakness with the use of machine learning. We propose a parameter-free pipeline for SML learning based on support vector machine (SVM). This strategy requires a short supervised training that consists in selecting by the user few fluorescent molecules (∼ 10-20) from the frames under analysis. The algorithm has been extensively tested on both synthetic and real acquisitions. Results are qualitatively and quantitatively consistent with the state of the art in SML microscopy and demonstrate that the introduction of machine learning can lead to a new class of algorithms competitive and conceived from the user point of view.

Project description:Single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) are intriguing materials inspired by proteins that consist of a single precursor polymer chain that has collapsed into a stable structure. In many prospective applications, such as catalysis, the utility of a single-chain nanoparticle will intricately depend on the formation of a mostly specific structure or morphology. However, it is not generally well understood how to reliably control the morphology of single-chain nanoparticles. To address this knowledge gap, we simulate the formation of 7680 distinct single-chain nanoparticles from precursor chains that span a wide range of, in principle, tunable patterning characteristics of cross-linking moieties. Using a combination of molecular simulation and machine learning analyses, we show how the overall fraction of functionalization and blockiness of cross-linking moieties biases the formation of certain local and global morphological characteristics. Importantly, we illustrate and quantify the dispersity of morphologies that arise due to the stochastic nature of collapse from a well-defined sequence as well as from the ensemble of sequences that correspond to a given specification of precursor parameters. Moreover, we also examine the efficacy of precise sequence control in achieving morphological outcomes in different regimes of precursor parameters. Overall, this work critically assesses how precursor chains might be feasibly tailored to achieve given SCNP morphologies and provides a platform to pursue future sequence-based design.

Project description:Early diagnosis of pathological markers can significantly shorten the rate of viral transmission, reduce the probability of infection, and improve the cure rate of diseases. Therefore, analytical techniques for identifying pathological markers and environmental toxicants have received considerable attention from researchers worldwide. However, the most popular techniques used in clinical settings involve expensive precision instruments and complex detection processes. Thus, a simpler, more efficient, rapid, and intelligent means of analysis must be urgently developed. Electrochemical biosensors have the advantages of simple processing, low cost, low sample preparation requirements, rapid analysis, easy miniaturization, and integration. Thus, they have become popular in extensive research. Machine learning is widely used in material-assisted synthesis, sensor design, and other fields owing to its powerful data analysis and simulation learning capabilities. In this study, a machine learning-assisted carbon black-graphene oxide conjugate polymer (CB-GO/CP) electrode, in conjunction with a flexible wearable device, is proposed for the smart portable detection of tyrosine (Tyr). Input feature value data are obtained for the artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machines (SVM) model learning via multiple data collections in artificial urine and by recording the pH and temperature values. The results reveal that a machine-learning model that integrates multiple external factors is more accurate for the prediction of Tyr concentration.

Project description:Advances in neuroimaging, genomic, motion tracking, eye-tracking and many other technology-based data collection methods have led to a torrent of high dimensional datasets, which commonly have a small number of samples because of the intrinsic high cost of data collection involving human participants. High dimensional data with a small number of samples is of critical importance for identifying biomarkers and conducting feasibility and pilot work, however it can lead to biased machine learning (ML) performance estimates. Our review of studies which have applied ML to predict autistic from non-autistic individuals showed that small sample size is associated with higher reported classification accuracy. Thus, we have investigated whether this bias could be caused by the use of validation methods which do not sufficiently control overfitting. Our simulations show that K-fold Cross-Validation (CV) produces strongly biased performance estimates with small sample sizes, and the bias is still evident with sample size of 1000. Nested CV and train/test split approaches produce robust and unbiased performance estimates regardless of sample size. We also show that feature selection if performed on pooled training and testing data is contributing to bias considerably more than parameter tuning. In addition, the contribution to bias by data dimensionality, hyper-parameter space and number of CV folds was explored, and validation methods were compared with discriminable data. The results suggest how to design robust testing methodologies when working with small datasets and how to interpret the results of other studies based on what validation method was used.
