Heatstroke predictions by machine learning, weather information, and an all-population registry for 12-hour heatstroke alerts.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to develop and validate prediction models for the number of all heatstroke cases, and heatstrokes of hospital admission and death cases per city per 12 h, using multiple weather information and a population-based database for heatstroke patients in 16 Japanese cities (corresponding to around a 10,000,000 population size). In the testing dataset, mean absolute percentage error of generalized linear models with wet bulb globe temperature as the only predictor and the optimal models, respectively, are 43.0% and 14.8% for spikes in the number of all heatstroke cases, and 37.7% and 10.6% for spikes in the number of heatstrokes of hospital admission and death cases. The optimal models predict the spikes in the number of heatstrokes well by machine learning methods including non-linear multivariable predictors and/or under-sampling and bagging. Here, we develop prediction models whose predictive performances are high enough to be implemented in public health settings.

Machine learning landscapes and predictions for patient outcomes.

Project description:The theory and computational tools developed to interpret and explore energy landscapes in molecular science are applied to the landscapes defined by local minima for neural networks. These machine learning landscapes correspond to fits of training data, where the inputs are vital signs and laboratory measurements for a database of patients, and the objective is to predict a clinical outcome. In this contribution, we test the predictions obtained by fitting to single measurements, and then to combinations of between 2 and 10 different patient medical data items. The effect of including measurements over different time intervals from the 48 h period in question is analysed, and the most recent values are found to be the most important. We also compare results obtained for neural networks as a function of the number of hidden nodes, and for different values of a regularization parameter. The predictions are compared with an alternative convex fitting function, and a strong correlation is observed. The dependence of these results on the patients randomly selected for training and testing decreases systematically with the size of the database available. The machine learning landscapes defined by neural network fits in this investigation have single-funnel character, which probably explains why it is relatively straightforward to obtain the global minimum solution, or a fit that behaves similarly to this optimal parameterization.

Accelerating materials property predictions using machine learning.

Project description:The materials discovery process can be significantly expedited and simplified if we can learn effectively from available knowledge and data. In the present contribution, we show that efficient and accurate prediction of a diverse set of properties of material systems is possible by employing machine (or statistical) learning methods trained on quantum mechanical computations in combination with the notions of chemical similarity. Using a family of one-dimensional chain systems, we present a general formalism that allows us to discover decision rules that establish a mapping between easily accessible attributes of a system and its properties. It is shown that fingerprints based on either chemo-structural (compositional and configurational information) or the electronic charge density distribution can be used to make ultra-fast, yet accurate, property predictions. Harnessing such learning paradigms extends recent efforts to systematically explore and mine vast chemical spaces, and can significantly accelerate the discovery of new application-specific materials.

Machine learning for weather and climate are worlds apart.

Project description:Modern weather and climate models share a common heritage and often even components; however, they are used in different ways to answer fundamentally different questions. As such, attempts to emulate them using machine learning should reflect this. While the use of machine learning to emulate weather forecast models is a relatively new endeavour, there is a rich history of climate model emulation. This is primarily because while weather modelling is an initial condition problem, which intimately depends on the current state of the atmosphere, climate modelling is predominantly a boundary condition problem. To emulate the response of the climate to different drivers therefore, representation of the full dynamical evolution of the atmosphere is neither necessary, or in many cases, desirable. Climate scientists are typically interested in different questions also. Indeed emulating the steady-state climate response has been possible for many years and provides significant speed increases that allow solving inverse problems for e.g. parameter estimation. Nevertheless, the large datasets, non-linear relationships and limited training data make climate a domain which is rich in interesting machine learning challenges. Here, I seek to set out the current state of climate model emulation and demonstrate how, despite some challenges, recent advances in machine learning provide new opportunities for creating useful statistical models of the climate. This article is part of the theme issue 'Machine learning for weather and climate modelling'.

Using Machine Learning Methods and Structural Alerts for Prediction of Mitochondrial Toxicity.

Project description:Over the last few years more and more organ and idiosyncratic toxicities were linked to mitochondrial toxicity. Despite well-established assays, such as the seahorse and Glucose/Galactose assay, an in silico approach to mitochondrial toxicity is still feasible, particularly when it comes to the assessment of large compound libraries. Therefore, in silico approaches could be very beneficial to indicate hazards early in the drug development pipeline. By combining multiple endpoints, we derived the largest so far published dataset on mitochondrial toxicity. A thorough data analysis shows that molecules causing mitochondrial toxicity can be distinguished by physicochemical properties. Finally, the combination of machine learning and structural alerts highlights the suitability for in silico risk assessment of mitochondrial toxicity.

Dialysis adequacy predictions using a machine learning method.

Project description:Dialysis adequacy is an important survival indicator in patients with chronic hemodialysis. However, there are inconveniences and disadvantages to measuring dialysis adequacy by blood samples. This study used machine learning models to predict dialysis adequacy in chronic hemodialysis patients using repeatedly measured data during hemodialysis. This study included 1333 hemodialysis sessions corresponding to the monthly examination dates of 61 patients. Patient demographics and clinical parameters were continuously measured from the hemodialysis machine; 240 measurements were collected from each hemodialysis session. Machine learning models (random forest and extreme gradient boosting [XGBoost]) and deep learning models (convolutional neural network and gated recurrent unit) were compared with multivariable linear regression models. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), root mean square error (RMSE), and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (Corr) for each model using fivefold cross-validation were calculated as performance measurements. The XGBoost model had the best performance among all methods (MAPE = 2.500; RMSE = 2.906; Corr = 0.873). The deep learning models with convolutional neural network (MAPE = 2.835; RMSE = 3.125; Corr = 0.833) and gated recurrent unit (MAPE = 2.974; RMSE = 3.230; Corr = 0.824) had similar performances. The linear regression models had the lowest performance (MAPE = 3.284; RMSE = 3.586; Corr = 0.770) compared with other models. Machine learning methods can accurately infer hemodialysis adequacy using continuously measured data from hemodialysis machines.

Accurate contact predictions using covariation techniques and machine learning.

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.

Robust predictions of specialized metabolism genes through machine learning.

Project description:Plant specialized metabolism (SM) enzymes produce lineage-specific metabolites with important ecological, evolutionary, and biotechnological implications. Using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model, we identified distinguishing characteristics of SM and GM (general metabolism, traditionally referred to as primary metabolism) genes through a detailed study of features including duplication pattern, sequence conservation, transcription, protein domain content, and gene network properties. Analysis of multiple sets of benchmark genes revealed that SM genes tend to be tandemly duplicated, coexpressed with their paralogs, narrowly expressed at lower levels, less conserved, and less well connected in gene networks relative to GM genes. Although the values of each of these features significantly differed between SM and GM genes, any single feature was ineffective at predicting SM from GM genes. Using machine learning methods to integrate all features, a prediction model was established with a true positive rate of 87% and a true negative rate of 71%. In addition, 86% of known SM genes not used to create the machine learning model were predicted. We also demonstrated that the model could be further improved when we distinguished between SM, GM, and junction genes responsible for reactions shared by SM and GM pathways, indicating that topological considerations may further improve the SM prediction model. Application of the prediction model led to the identification of 1,220 A. thaliana genes with previously unknown functions, each assigned a confidence measure called an SM score, providing a global estimate of SM gene content in a plant genome.

Predictions of bitcoin prices through machine learning based frameworks.

Project description:The high volatility of an asset in financial markets is commonly seen as a negative factor. However short-term trades may entail high profits if traders open and close the correct positions. The high volatility of cryptocurrencies, and in particular of Bitcoin, is what made cryptocurrency trading so profitable in these last years. The main goal of this work is to compare several frameworks each other to predict the daily closing Bitcoin price, investigating those that provide the best performance, after a rigorous model selection by the so-called k-fold cross validation method. We evaluated the performance of one stage frameworks, based only on one machine learning technique, such as the Bayesian Neural Network, the Feed Forward and the Long Short Term Memory Neural Networks, and that of two stages frameworks formed by the neural networks just mentioned in cascade to Support Vector Regression. Results highlight higher performance of the two stages frameworks with respect to the correspondent one stage frameworks, but for the Bayesian Neural Network. The one stage framework based on Bayesian Neural Network has the highest performance and the order of magnitude of the mean absolute percentage error computed on the predicted price by this framework is in agreement with those reported in recent literature works.
