BACKGROUND Given the limitations of medical diagnosis of early emotional change signs during the COVID-19 quarantine period, artificial intelligence models provide effective mechanisms in uncovering early signs, symptoms and escalating trend. OBJECTIVE The main purpose of this project is to demonstrate the effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence, and in particular Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning in detecting and analyzing emotions from tweets talking about COVID-19 social confinement. METHODS We developed a systematic framework that can be directly applied to COVID-19 related mood discovery, using eight types of emotional reaction and designing a deep learning model to uncover emotions based on the first wave of the pandemic public health restriction of mandatory social segregation. We argue that the framework can discover semantic trends of COVID-19 tweets during the first wave of the pandemic to predict new concerns that may be associated with furthering into the new waves of COVID-19 quarantine orders and other related public health regulations. RESULTS Our findings revealed Stay-At-Home restrictions result in people expressing on twitter both negative and positive based on emotional and semantics aspects. Moreover, the statistical results of the emotion classification is show that our framework based on CNN deep learning has predicted the emotion levels or target labels with more F1-socore than the LSTM model, which are 0.95% and 0.93%, respectively. However, these results have potential to impact public health policy decisions through monitoring trends of emotional feelings of those who are quarantined. CONCLUSIONS The research shows that the framework is effective in capturing the emotions and semantics trends in social media messages during the pandemic. Moreover, the framework can be applied to uncover reactions to similar public health policies that affect people’s well-being.

Abstract Artificial intelligence is one of the most exciting methodological shifts in our era. It holds the potential to transform healthcare as we know it, to a system where humans and machines work together to provide better treatment for our patients. It is now clear that cutting edge artificial intelligence models in conjunction with high-quality clinical data will lead to improved prognostic and diagnostic models in neurological disease, facilitating expert-level clinical decision tools across healthcare settings. Despite the clinical promise of artificial intelligence, machine and deep-learning algorithms are not a one-size-fits-all solution for all types of clinical data and questions. In this article, we provide an overview of the core concepts of artificial intelligence, particularly contemporary deep-learning methods, to give clinician and neuroscience researchers an appreciation of how artificial intelligence can be harnessed to support clinical decisions. We clarify and emphasize the data quality and the human expertise needed to build robust clinical artificial intelligence models in neurology. As artificial intelligence is a rapidly evolving field, we take the opportunity to iterate important ethical principles to guide the field of medicine is it moves into an artificial intelligence enhanced future.

The term, Artificial Intelligence (AI), has changed since it was first coined by John MacCarthy in 1956. AI, believed to have been created with Kurt Gödel's unprovable computational statements in 1931, is now called deep learning or machine learning. AI is defined as a computer machine with the ability to make predictions about the future and solve complex tasks, using algorithms. The AI algorithms are enhanced and become effective with big data capturing the present and the past while still necessarily reflecting human biases into models and equations. AI is also capable of making choices like humans, mirroring human reasoning. AI can help robots to efficiently repeat the same labor intensive procedures in factories and can analyze historic and present data efficiently through deep learning, natural language processing, and anomaly detection. Thus, AI covers a spectrum of augmented intelligence relating to prediction, autonomous intelligence relating to decision making, automated intelligence for labor robots, and assisted intelligence for data analysis.

AbstractArtificial intelligence models match or exceed dermatologists in melanoma image classification. Less is known about their robustness against real-world variations, and clinicians may incorrectly assume that a model with an acceptable area under the receiver operating characteristic curve or related performance metric is ready for clinical use. Here, we systematically assessed the performance of dermatologist-level convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on real-world non-curated images by applying computational “stress tests”. Our goal was to create a proxy environment in which to comprehensively test the generalizability of off-the-shelf CNNs developed without training or evaluation protocols specific to individual clinics. We found inconsistent predictions on images captured repeatedly in the same setting or subjected to simple transformations (e.g., rotation). Such transformations resulted in false positive or negative predictions for 6.5–22% of skin lesions across test datasets. Our findings indicate that models meeting conventionally reported metrics need further validation with computational stress tests to assess clinic readiness.

AbstractProgrammed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression is a key biomarker to screen patients for PD-1/PD-L1-targeted immunotherapy. However, a subjective assessment guide on PD-L1 expression of tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC) scoring is currently adopted in clinical practice with low concordance. Therefore, a repeatable and quantifiable PD-L1 IC scoring method of breast cancer is desirable. In this study, we propose a deep learning-based artificial intelligence-assisted (AI-assisted) model for PD-L1 IC scoring. Three rounds of ring studies (RSs) involving 31 pathologists from 10 hospitals were carried out, using the current guideline in the first two rounds (RS1, RS2) and our AI scoring model in the last round (RS3). A total of 109 PD-L1 (Ventana SP142) immunohistochemistry (IHC) stained images were assessed and the role of the AI-assisted model was evaluated. With the assistance of AI, the scoring concordance across pathologists was boosted to excellent in RS3 (0.950, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.936–0.962) from moderate in RS1 (0.674, 95% CI: 0.614–0.735) and RS2 (0.736, 95% CI: 0.683–0.789). The 2- and 4-category scoring accuracy were improved by 4.2% (0.959, 95% CI: 0.953–0.964) and 13% (0.815, 95% CI: 0.803–0.827) (p < 0.001). The AI results were generally accepted by pathologists with 61% “fully accepted” and 91% “almost accepted”. The proposed AI-assisted method can help pathologists at all levels to improve the PD-L1 assay (SP-142) IC assessment in breast cancer in terms of both accuracy and concordance. The AI tool provides a scheme to standardize the PD-L1 IC scoring in clinical practice.
