Multiple sclerosis disease is a main cause of non-traumatic disabilities and one of the most common neurological disorders in young adults over many countries. In this work, we introduce a survey study of the utilization of machine learning methods in Multiple Sclerosis early genetic disease detection methods incorporating Microarray data analysis and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism data analysis and explains in details the machine learning methods used in literature.

The authors consider the problems associated with the activities of microfinance organizations, and directions to eliminate them. The subject of the study is the need to introduce machine learning to solve urgent problems. Machine learning methods are increasingly being implemented to analyze financial and economic information, which reduces and eliminates some of the difficulties. Although currently these methods are not widely used in the field of microfinance institutions (MFIs), there are opportunities for their application. The aim of the work is to determine the prospects for the use of these methods in MFOs. The article describes the subject area of research, associated with MFIs. The authors identify the main groups of problems related to MFOs, consider the possibility of introducing machine learning for data analysis in this area and determine the main directions of the possible use of machine learning for MFIs. The authors concluded that such methods are applicable for assessing the performance of MFIs.

Abstract Background and Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, progressive, and autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and axonal injury. In patients with newly diagnosed MS (ndMS), ataxia can present either as mild or severe and can be difficult to diagnose in the absence of clinical disability. Such difficulties can be eliminated by using decision support systems supported by machine learning methods. The present study aimed to achieve early diagnosis of ataxia in ndMS patients by using machine learning methods with spatiotemporal parameters. Materials and Methods The prospective study included 32 ndMS patients with an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of≤2.0 and 32 healthy volunteers. A total of 14 parameters were elicited by using a Win-Track platform. The ndMS patients were differentiated from healthy individuals using multiple classifiers including Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), the k-nearest neighbors (K-NN) algorithm, and Decision Tree Learning (DTL). To improve the performance of the classification, a Relief-based feature selection algorithm was applied to select the subset that best represented the whole dataset. Performance evaluation was achieved based on several criteria such as Accuracy (ACC), Sensitivity (SN), Specificity (SP), and Precision (PREC). Results ANN had a higher classification performance compared to other classifiers, whereby it provided an accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 89, 87.8, 90.3% with the use of all parameters and provided the values of 93.7, 96.6%, and 91.1% with the use of parameters selected by the Relief algorithm, respectively. Significance To our knowledge, this is the first study of its kind in the literature to investigate the diagnosis of ataxia in ndMS patients by using machine learning methods with spatiotemporal parameters. The proposed method, i. e. Relief-based ANN method, successfully diagnosed ataxia by using a lower number of parameters compared to the numbers of parameters reported in clinical studies, thereby reducing the costs and increasing the performance of the diagnosis. The method also provided higher rates of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in the diagnosis of ataxia in ndMS patients compared to other methods. Taken together, these findings indicate that the proposed method could be helpful in the diagnosis of ataxia in minimally impaired ndMS patients and could be a pathfinder for future studies.

Increasing machine learning methods are being applied to infrared non-destructive assessment for internal defects assessment of composite materials. However, most of them extract only linear features, which is not in accord with the nonlinear characteristics of infrared data. Moreover, limited infrared images tend to restrict the data analysis capabilities of machine learning methods. In this work, a novel generative kernel principal component thermography (GKPCT) method is proposed for defect detection of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. Specifically, the spectral normalization generative adversarial network is proposed to augment the thermograms for model construction. Sequentially, the KPCT method is used by feature mapping of all thermogram data using kernel principal component analysis, which allows for differentiation of defects and background in the dimensionality-reduced data. Additionally, a defect-background separation metric is designed to help the performance evaluation of data analysis methods. Experimental results on CFRP demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of the proposed GKPCT method.

The metabolome of an organism depends on environmental factors and intracellular regulation and provides information about the physiological conditions. Metabolomics helps to understand disease progression in clinical settings or estimate metabolite overproduction for metabolic engineering. The most popular analytical metabolomics platform is mass spectrometry (MS). However, MS metabolome data analysis is complicated, since metabolites interact nonlinearly, and the data structures themselves are complex. Machine learning methods have become immensely popular for statistical analysis due to the inherent nonlinear data representation and the ability to process large and heterogeneous data rapidly. In this review, we address recent developments in using machine learning for processing MS spectra and show how machine learning generates new biological insights. In particular, supervised machine learning has great potential in metabolomics research because of the ability to supply quantitative predictions. We review here commonly used tools, such as random forest, support vector machines, artificial neural networks, and genetic algorithms. During processing steps, the supervised machine learning methods help peak picking, normalization, and missing data imputation. For knowledge-driven analysis, machine learning contributes to biomarker detection, classification and regression, biochemical pathway identification, and carbon flux determination. Of important relevance is the combination of different omics data to identify the contributions of the various regulatory levels. Our overview of the recent publications also highlights that data quality determines analysis quality, but also adds to the challenge of choosing the right model for the data. Machine learning methods applied to MS-based metabolomics ease data analysis and can support clinical decisions, guide metabolic engineering, and stimulate fundamental biological discoveries.

Bongard problems are a set of 100 visual puzzles posed by M. M. Bongard, where each puzzle consists of twelve images separated into two groups of six images. The task is to find the unique rule separating the two classes in each given problem. The problems were first posed as a challenge for the AI community to test machines ability to imitate complex, context-depending thinking processes using only minimal information. Although some work was done to solve these problems, none of the previous approaches could automatically solve all of them. The present paper is a contribution to attack these problems with a different approach, combining the tools of persistent homology alongside with machine learning methods. In this work, we present an algorithm and show that it is able to solve problems involving differences in connectivity and size as examples, we also show that it can solve problems involving a much larger set of differences provided the right G-equivariant operators
