XGBoost-Based Feature Learning Method for Mining COVID-19 Novel Diagnostic Markers.

ABSTRACT: In December 2019, an outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia spread over Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, which then developed into a significant global health public event, giving rise to substantial economic losses. We downloaded throat swab expression profiling data of COVID-19 positive and negative patients from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to mine novel diagnostic biomarkers. XGBoost was used to construct the model and select feature genes. Subsequently, we constructed COVID-19 classifiers such as MARS, KNN, SVM, MIL, and RF using machine learning methods. We selected the KNN classifier with the optimal MCC value from these classifiers using the IFS method to identify 24 feature genes. Finally, we used principal component analysis to classify the samples and found that the 24 feature genes could effectively be used to classify COVID-19-positive and negative patients. Additionally, we analyzed the possible biological functions and signaling pathways in which the 24 feature genes were involved by GO and KEGG enrichment analyses. The results demonstrated that these feature genes were primarily enriched in biological functions such as viral transcription and viral gene expression and pathways such as Coronavirus disease-COVID-19. In summary, the 24 feature genes we identified were highly effective in classifying COVID-19 positive and negative patients, which could serve as novel markers for COVID-19.

A Deep Learning and XGBoost-Based Method for Predicting Protein-Protein Interaction Sites.

Project description:Knowledge about protein-protein interactions is beneficial in understanding cellular mechanisms. Protein-protein interactions are usually determined according to their protein-protein interaction sites. Due to the limitations of current techniques, it is still a challenging task to detect protein-protein interaction sites. In this article, we presented a method based on deep learning and XGBoost (called DeepPPISP-XGB) for predicting protein-protein interaction sites. The deep learning model served as a feature extractor to remove redundant information from protein sequences. The Extreme Gradient Boosting algorithm was used to construct a classifier for predicting protein-protein interaction sites. The DeepPPISP-XGB achieved the following results: area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.681, a recall of 0.624, and area under the precision-recall curve of 0.339, being competitive with the state-of-the-art methods. We also validated the positive role of global features in predicting protein-protein interaction sites.

A novel speech emotion recognition method based on feature construction and ensemble learning.

Project description:In the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), speech emotion recognition technology plays an important role. Facing a small number of speech emotion data, a novel speech emotion recognition method based on feature construction and ensemble learning is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the acoustic features are extracted from the speech signal and combined to form different original feature sets. Secondly, based on Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) and Sequential Forward Selection (SFS) method, a novel feature selection method named L-SFS is proposed. And then, the softmax regression model is used to learn automatically the weights of the four single weak learners including Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and LightGBM. Lastly, based on the learned automatically weights and the weighted average probability voting strategy, an ensemble classification model named Sklex is constructed, which integrates the above four single weak learners. In conclusion, the method reflects the effectiveness of feature construction and the superiority and stability of ensemble learning, and gets good speech emotion recognition accuracy.

PAN-LDA: A latent Dirichlet allocation based novel feature extraction model for COVID-19 data using machine learning.

Project description:The recent outbreak of novel Coronavirus disease or COVID-19 is declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The availability of social media platforms has played a vital role in providing and obtaining information about any ongoing event. However, consuming a vast amount of online textual data to predict an event's trends can be troublesome. To our knowledge, no study analyzes the online news articles and the disease data about coronavirus disease. Therefore, we propose an LDA-based topic model, called PAN-LDA (Pandemic-Latent Dirichlet allocation), that incorporates the COVID-19 cases data and news articles into common LDA to obtain a new set of features. The generated features are introduced as additional features to Machine learning(ML) algorithms to improve the forecasting of time series data. Furthermore, we are employing collapsed Gibbs sampling (CGS) as the underlying technique for parameter inference. The results from experiments suggest that the obtained features from PAN-LDA generate more identifiable topics and empirically add value to the outcome.

COVID-19 Diagnostic System Using Medical Image Classification and Retrieval: A Novel Method for Image Analysis

Project description:Abstract With the rapid increase in the number of people infected with COVID-19 disease in the entire world, and with the limited medical equipment used to detect it (testing kit), it becomes necessary to provide another detection method that mainly relies on Artificial Intelligence and radiographic Image Analysis to determine the disease infection. In this study, we proposed a diagnosis system that detects the COVID-19 using chest X-ray or computed tomography (CT) scan images knowing that this system does not eliminate the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test but rather complements it. The proposed system consists of the following steps, starting with extracting the image’s features using Visual Words Fusion of ResNet-50 (deep neural network) and Histogram of Oriented Gradient descriptors based on Bag of Visual Word methodology. Then training the Adaptive Boosting classifier to classify the image to COVID-19 or NOTCOVID-19 and finally retrieving the most similar images. We implemented our work on X-ray and CT scan databases, and the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system. The performance of the classification task in terms of accuracy was as follows: 100% for classifying the input image to X-ray or CT scan, 99.18% for classifying X-ray image to COVID-19 or NOTCOVID-19 and 97.84% for classifying CT scan to COVID-19 or NOTCOVID-19.

Prediction of Recombination Spots Using Novel Hybrid Feature Extraction Method via Deep Learning Approach.

Project description:Meiotic recombination is the driving force of evolutionary development and an important source of genetic variation. The meiotic recombination does not take place randomly in a chromosome but occurs in some regions of the chromosome. A region in chromosomes with higher rate of meiotic recombination events are considered as hotspots and a region where frequencies of the recombination events are lower are called coldspots. Prediction of meiotic recombination spots provides useful information about the basic functionality of inheritance and genome diversity. This study proposes an intelligent computational predictor called iRSpots-DNN for the identification of recombination spots. The proposed predictor is based on a novel feature extraction method and an optimized deep neural network (DNN). The DNN was employed as a classification engine whereas, the novel features extraction method was developed to extract meaningful features for the identification of hotspots and coldspots across the yeast genome. Unlike previous algorithms, the proposed feature extraction avoids bias among different selected features and preserved the sequence discriminant properties along with the sequence-structure information simultaneously. This study also considered other effective classifiers named support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), and random forest (RF) to predict recombination spots. Experimental results on a benchmark dataset with 10-fold cross-validation showed that iRSpots-DNN achieved the highest accuracy, i.e., 95.81%. Additionally, the performance of the proposed iRSpots-DNN is significantly better than the existing predictors on a benchmark dataset. The relevant benchmark dataset and source code are freely available at: https://github.com/Fatima-Khan12/iRspot_DNN/tree/master/iRspot_DNN.

Deep learning models for COVID-19 chest x-ray classification: Preventing shortcut learning using feature disentanglement.

Project description:In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, recent research has proposed creating deep learning based models that use chest radiographs (CXRs) in a variety of clinical tasks to help manage the crisis. However, the size of existing datasets of CXRs from COVID-19+ patients are relatively small, and researchers often pool CXR data from multiple sources, for example, using different x-ray machines in various patient populations under different clinical scenarios. Deep learning models trained on such datasets have been shown to overfit to erroneous features instead of learning pulmonary characteristics -- a phenomenon known as shortcut learning. We propose adding feature disentanglement to the training process, forcing the models to identify pulmonary features from the images while penalizing them for learning features that can discriminate between the original datasets that the images come from. We find that models trained in this way indeed have better generalization performance on unseen data; in the best case we found that it improved AUC by 0.13 on held out data. We further find that this outperforms masking out non-lung parts of the CXRs and performing histogram equalization, both of which are recently proposed methods for removing biases in CXR datasets.

Identification of Novel COVID-19 Biomarkers by Multiple Feature Selection Strategies.

Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) arising from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in a global pandemic since its first report in December 2019. So far, SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid detection has been deemed as the golden standard of COVID-19 diagnosis. However, this detection method often leads to false negatives, thus triggering missed COVID-19 diagnosis. Therefore, it is urgent to find new biomarkers to increase the accuracy of COVID-19 diagnosis. To explore new biomarkers of COVID-19 in this study, expression profiles were firstly accessed from the GEO database. On this basis, 500 feature genes were screened by the minimum-redundancy maximum-relevancy (mRMR) feature selection method. Afterwards, the incremental feature selection (IFS) method was used to choose a classifier with the best performance from different feature gene-based support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. The corresponding 66 feature genes were set as the optimal feature genes. Lastly, the optimal feature genes were subjected to GO functional enrichment analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. All in all, it was posited that the 66 feature genes could effectively classify positive and negative COVID-19 and work as new biomarkers of the disease.

Large-scale multi-omics analysis identifies novel early markers of COVID-19 severity

Project description:Matched samples from individuals before they contracted COVID-19 and after they were diagnosed with it were used for TMT-based relative quantitation of their plasma proteome and glycoproteome to study the effects of this infectious disease. Twenty one COVID-19 patients whose pre-COVID-19 plasma samples were also available were selected for this study. These patients had varied courses of illness and were classified based on WHO guidelines into outpatients and those with severe and critical illness. 21 matched sample pairs were divided into 3 sets for 3 TMTPro 16-plex-based mass spectrometry experiments with 8 (set01), 8 (set02), and 5 (set03) patients each. Plasma-derived tryptic peptides from each sample were TMT-labeled, and each pooled set was used for separate experiments for total proteomics and glycoproteomics. A pooled aliquot from each set was used to enrich glycopeptides by size exclusion chromatography and another aliquot was used to fractionate all peptides by basic pH reversed phase liquid chromatography. Enriched glycopeptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS and quantified across samples using TMT reporter ion intensities. Fold changes (intensity of protein or glycopeptide from a patient with COVID-19/that from the same patient before they had COVID-19) for each protein and glycopeptide were calculated for all patients to assess changes in the proteome that may be attributable to this illness. We detected 1,520 proteins, of which 472 were detected in all patients. 3,892 glycopeptides were identified at 1% FDR at peptide, glycan and glycopeptides levels and their reporter ion intensities were quantified. 732 glycopeptides from 232 glycoproteins were detected in all patients.

Deep IDA: A Deep Learning Method for Integrative Discriminant Analysis of Multi-View Data with Feature Ranking -- An Application to COVID-19 severity.

Project description:COVID-19 severity is due to complications from SARS-Cov-2 but the clinical course of the infection varies for individuals, emphasizing the need to better understand the disease at the molecular level. We use clinical and multiple molecular data (or views) obtained from patients with and without COVID-19 who were (or not) admitted to the intensive care unit to shed light on COVID-19 severity. Methods for jointly associating the views and separating the COVID-19 groups (i.e., one-step methods) have focused on linear relationships. The relationships between the views and COVID-19 patient groups, however, are too complex to be understood solely by linear methods. Existing nonlinear one-step methods cannot be used to identify signatures to aid in our understanding of the complexity of the disease. We propose Deep IDA (Integrative Discriminant Analysis) to address analytical challenges in our problem of interest. Deep IDA learns nonlinear projections of two or more views that maximally associate the views and separate the classes in each view, and permits feature ranking for interpretable findings. Our applications demonstrate that Deep IDA has competitive classification rates compared to other state-of-the-art methods and is able to identify molecular signatures that facilitate an understanding of COVID-19 severity.
