Project description:Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns have extensive applications in structural engineering due to their exceptional load-bearing capability and ductility. However, existing design code standards often yield different design capacities for the same column properties, introducing uncertainty for engineering designers. Moreover, conventional regression analysis fails to accurately predict the intricate relationship between column properties and compressive strength. To address these issues, this study proposes the use of two machine learning (ML) models-Gaussian process regression (GPR) and symbolic regression (SR). These models accept a variety of input variables, encompassing geometric and material properties of stub CFST columns, to estimate their strength. An experimental database of 1316 specimens was compiled from various research papers, including circular, rectangular, and double-skin stub CFST columns. In addition, a dimensionless output variable, referred to as the strength index, is introduced to enhance model performance. To validate the efficiency of the introduced models, predictions from these models are compared with those from two established standard codes and various ML algorithms, including support vector regression optimized with particle swarm optimization (PSVR), artificial neural networks, XGBoost (XGB), CatBoost (CATB), Random Forest, and LightGBM models. Through performance metrics, the CATB, GPR, PSVR and XGB models emerge as the most accurate and reliable models from the evaluation results. In addition, simple and practical design equations for the different types of CFST columns have been proposed based on the SR model. The developed ML models and proposed equations can predict the compressive strength of stub CFST columns with reliable and accurate results, making them valuable tools for structural engineering. Furthermore, the Shapley additive interpretation (SHAP) technique is employed for feature analysis. The results of the feature analysis reveal that section slenderness ratio and concrete strength parameters negatively impact the compressive strength index.

Project description:Many pharmaceutical companies are avoiding the development of novel antibacterials due to a range of rational reasons and the high risk of failure. However, there is an urgent need for novel antibiotics especially against resistant bacterial strains. Available in silico models suffer from many drawbacks and, therefore, are not applicable for scoring novel molecules with high structural diversity by their antibacterial potency. Considering this, the overall aim of this study was to develop an efficient in silico model able to find compounds that have plenty of chances to exhibit antibacterial activity. Based on a proprietary screening campaign, we have accumulated a representative dataset of more than 140,000 molecules with antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli assessed in the same assay and under the same conditions. This intriguing set has no analogue in the scientific literature. We applied six in silico techniques to mine these data. For external validation, we used 5,000 compounds with low similarity towards training samples. The antibacterial activity of the selected molecules against E. coli was assessed using a comprehensive biological study. Kohonen-based nonlinear mapping was used for the first time and provided the best predictive power (av. 75.5%). Several compounds showed an outstanding antibacterial potency and were identified as translation machinery inhibitors in vitro and in vivo. For the best compounds, MIC and CC50 values were determined to allow us to estimate a selectivity index (SI). Many active compounds have a robust IP position.

Project description:In a regression setting, it is often of interest to quantify the importance of various features in predicting the response. Commonly, the variable importance measure used is determined by the regression technique employed. For this reason, practitioners often only resort to one of a few regression techniques for which a variable importance measure is naturally defined. Unfortunately, these regression techniques are often suboptimal for predicting the response. Additionally, because the variable importance measures native to different regression techniques generally have a different interpretation, comparisons across techniques can be difficult. In this work, we study a variable importance measure that can be used with any regression technique, and whose interpretation is agnostic to the technique used. This measure is a property of the true data-generating mechanism. Specifically, we discuss a generalization of the analysis of variance variable importance measure and discuss how it facilitates the use of machine learning techniques to flexibly estimate the variable importance of a single feature or group of features. The importance of each feature or group of features in the data can then be described individually, using this measure. We describe how to construct an efficient estimator of this measure as well as a valid confidence interval. Through simulations, we show that our proposal has good practical operating characteristics, and we illustrate its use with data from a study of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in South Africa.

Project description:Stem cell organoids are powerful models for studying organ development, disease modeling, drug screening, and regenerative medicine applications. The convergence of organoid technology, tissue engineering, and artificial intelligence (AI) could potentially enhance our understanding of the design principle for organoid engineering. In this study, we utilized micropatterning techniques to create a designer library of 230 cardiac organoids with 7 geometric designs (Circle 200, Circle 600, Circle 1000, Rectangle 1:1, Rectangle 1:4, Star 1:1, and Star 1:4). We employed manifold learning techniques to analyze single organoid heterogeneity based on 10 physiological parameters. We successfully clustered and refined our cardiac organoids based on their functional similarity using unsupervised machine learning approaches, thus elucidating unique functionalities associated with geometric designs. We also highlighted the critical role of calcium rising time in distinguishing organoids based on geometric patterns and clustering results. This innovative integration of organoid engineering and machine learning enhances our understanding of structure-function relationships in cardiac organoids, paving the way for more controlled and optimized organoid design.

Project description:Here we present the results of residue-residue contact predictions achieved in CASP11 by the CONSIP2 server, which is based around our MetaPSICOV contact prediction method. On a set of 40 target domains with a median family size of around 40 effective sequences, our server achieved an average top-L/5 long-range contact precision of 27%. MetaPSICOV method bases on a combination of classical contact prediction features, enhanced with three distinct covariation methods embedded in a two-stage neural network predictor. Some unique features of our approach are (1) the tuning between the classical and covariation features depending on the depth of the input alignment and (2) a hybrid approach to generate deepest possible multiple-sequence alignments by combining jackHMMer and HHblits. We discuss the CONSIP2 pipeline, our results and show that where the method underperformed, the major factor was relying on a fixed set of parameters for the initial sequence alignments and not attempting to perform domain splitting as a preprocessing step.

Project description:BackgroundIn recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the number of microbial genomes reconstructed through shotgun sequencing, and obtained by newly developed approaches including metagenomic binning and single-cell sequencing. However, our ability to functionally characterize these genomes by experimental assays is orders of magnitude less efficient. Consequently, there is a pressing need for the development of swift and automated strategies for the functional classification of microbial genomes.ResultsThe present work leverages a suite of supervised machine learning algorithms to establish a range of 86 metabolic and other ecological functions, such as methanotrophy and plastic degradation, starting from widely obtainable microbial genome annotations. Tests performed on independent datasets demonstrated robust performance across complete, fragmented, and incomplete genomes above a 70% completeness level for most of the considered functions. Application of the algorithms to the Biogas Microbiome database yielded predictions broadly consistent with current biological knowledge and correctly detecting functionally-related nuances of archaeal genomes. Finally, a case study focused on acetoclastic methanogenesis demonstrated how the developed machine learning models can be refined or expanded with models describing novel functions of interest.ConclusionsThe resulting tool, MICROPHERRET, incorporates a total of 86 models, one for each tested functional class, and can be applied to high-quality microbial genomes as well as to low-quality genomes derived from metagenomics and single-cell sequencing. MICROPHERRET can thus aid in understanding the functional role of newly generated genomes within their micro-ecological context.

Project description:The coronavirus is considered this century's most disruptive catastrophe and global concern. This disease has prompted extreme social, psychological and economic impacts affecting millions of people around the globe. COVID-19 is transmitted from one infected person's body to another through respiratory droplets. This virus proliferates when people breathe in air-contaminated space with droplets and microscopic airborne particles. This research aims to analyze automatic COVID-19 detection using machine learning techniques to build an intelligent web application. The dataset has been preprocessed by dropping null values, feature engineering, and synthetic oversampling (SMOTE) techniques. Next, we trained and evaluated different classifiers, i.e., logistic regression, random forest, decision tree, k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine (SVM), ensemble models (adaptive boosting and extreme gradient boosting) and deep learning (artificial neural network, convolutional neural network and long short-term memory) techniques. Explainable AI with the LIME framework has been applied to interpret the prediction results. The hybrid CNN-LSTM algorithm with the SMOTE approach performed better than the other models on the employed open-source dataset obtained from the Israeli Ministry of Health website, with 96.34% accuracy and a 0.98 F1 score. Finally, this model was chosen to deploy the proposed prediction system to a website, where users may acquire an instantaneous COVID-19 prognosis based on their symptoms.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Diabetes Mellitus is an increasingly prevalent chronic disease characterized by the body's inability to metabolize glucose. The objective of this study was to build an effective predictive model with high sensitivity and selectivity to better identify Canadian patients at risk of having Diabetes Mellitus based on patient demographic data and the laboratory results during their visits to medical facilities. METHODS:Using the most recent records of 13,309 Canadian patients aged between 18 and 90 years, along with their laboratory information (age, sex, fasting blood glucose, body mass index, high-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, blood pressure, and low-density lipoprotein), we built predictive models using Logistic Regression and Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) techniques. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AROC) was used to evaluate the discriminatory capability of these models. We used the adjusted threshold method and the class weight method to improve sensitivity - the proportion of Diabetes Mellitus patients correctly predicted by the model. We also compared these models to other learning machine techniques such as Decision Tree and Random Forest. RESULTS:The AROC for the proposed GBM model is 84.7% with a sensitivity of 71.6% and the AROC for the proposed Logistic Regression model is 84.0% with a sensitivity of 73.4%. The GBM and Logistic Regression models perform better than the Random Forest and Decision Tree models. CONCLUSIONS:The ability of our model to predict patients with Diabetes using some commonly used lab results is high with satisfactory sensitivity. These models can be built into an online computer program to help physicians in predicting patients with future occurrence of diabetes and providing necessary preventive interventions. The model is developed and validated on the Canadian population which is more specific and powerful to apply on Canadian patients than existing models developed from US or other populations. Fasting blood glucose, body mass index, high-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides were the most important predictors in these models.

Project description:The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) based algorithms has gained a lot of interest in the pharmaceutical development field. Our study demonstrates utilization of traditional machine learning techniques such as random forest (RF), support-vector machine (SVM), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), deep neural network (DNN) as well as advanced deep learning techniques like gated recurrent unit-based DNN (GRU-DNN) and graph neural network (GNN), towards predicting human ether-á-go-go related gene (hERG) derived toxicity. Using the largest hERG dataset derived to date, we have utilized 203,853 and 87,366 compounds for training and testing the models, respectively. The results show that GNN, SVM, XGBoost, DNN, RF, and GRU-DNN all performed well, with validation set AUC ROC scores equals 0.96, 0.95, 0.95, 0.94, 0.94 and 0.94, respectively. The GNN was found to be the top performing model based on predictive power and generalizability. The GNN technique is free of any feature engineering steps while having a minimal human intervention. The GNN approach may serve as a basis for comprehensive automation in predictive toxicology. We believe that the models presented here may serve as a promising tool, both for academic institutes as well as pharmaceutical industries, in predicting hERG-liability in new molecular structures.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Predicting which children will go on to develop mental health symptoms as adolescents is critical for early intervention and preventing future, severe negative outcomes. Although many aspects of a child's life, personality, and symptoms have been flagged as indicators, there is currently no model created to screen the general population for the risk of developing mental health problems. Additionally, the advent of machine learning techniques represents an exciting way to potentially improve upon the standard prediction modelling technique, logistic regression. Therefore, we aimed to I.) develop a model that can predict mental health problems in mid-adolescence II.) investigate if machine learning techniques (random forest, support vector machines, neural network, and XGBoost) will outperform logistic regression. METHODS:In 7,638 twins from the Child and Adolescent Twin Study in Sweden we used 474 predictors derived from parental report and register data. The outcome, mental health problems, was determined by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Model performance was determined by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). RESULTS:Although model performance varied somewhat, the confidence interval overlapped for each model indicating non-significant superiority for the random forest model (AUC = 0.739, 95% CI 0.708-0.769), followed closely by support vector machines (AUC = 0.735, 95% CI 0.707-0.764). CONCLUSION:Ultimately, our top performing model would not be suitable for clinical use, however it lays important groundwork for future models seeking to predict general mental health outcomes. Future studies should make use of parent-rated assessments when possible. Additionally, it may not be necessary for similar studies to forgo logistic regression in favor of other more complex methods.
