Light-Activated Virtual Sensor Array with Machine Learning for Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Coronary Heart Disease

Early non-invasive diagnosis of coronary heart disease(CHD)is critical.However,it is challenging to achieve accurate CHD diagnosis via detecting breath.In this work,heterostructured complexes of black phosphorus(BP)and two-dimensional carbide and nitride(MXene)with high gas sensitivity and photo responsiveness were formulated using a self-assembly strategy.A light-activated virtual sensor array(LAVSA)based on BP/Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx was prepared under photomodulation and further assembled into an instant gas sensing platform(IGSP).In addition,a machine learning(ML)algorithm was introduced to help the IGSP detect and recognize the signals of breath samples to diagnose CHD.Due to the synergistic effect of BP and Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx as well as photo excitation,the synthesized heterostructured complexes exhibited higher performance than pristine Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx,with a response value 26%higher than that of pristine Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx.In addition,with the help of a pattern recognition algorithm,LAVSA successfully detected and identified 15 odor molecules affiliated with alcohols,ketones,aldehydes,esters,and acids.Meanwhile,with the assistance of ML,the IGSP achieved 69.2%accuracy in detecting the breath odor of 45 volunteers from healthy people and CHD patients.In conclusion,an immediate,low-cost,and accurate prototype was designed and fabricated for the noninvasive diagnosis of CHD,which provided a generalized solution for diagnosing other diseases and other more complex application scenarios.

Simulated Annealing with Deep Learning Based Tongue Image Analysis for Heart Disease Diagnosis

Tongue image analysis is an efficient and non-invasive technique to determine the internal organ condition of a patient in oriental medicine,for example,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),Japanese traditional herbal medicine,and traditional Korean medicine(TKM).The diagnosis procedure is mainly based on the expert’s knowledge depending upon the visual inspec-tion comprising color,substance,coating,form,and motion of the tongue.But conventional tongue diagnosis has limitations since the procedure is inconsistent and subjective.Therefore,computer-aided tongue analyses have a greater potential to present objective and more consistent health assess-ments.This manuscript introduces a novel Simulated Annealing with Transfer Learning based Tongue Image Analysis for Disease Diagnosis(SADTL-TIADD)model.The presented SADTL-TIADD model initially pre-processes the tongue image to improve the quality.Next,the presented SADTL-TIADD technique employed an EfficientNet-based feature extractor to generate useful feature vectors.In turn,the SA with the ELM model enhances classification efficiency for disease detection and classification.The design of SA-based parameter tuning for heart disease diagnosis shows the novelty of the work.A wide-ranging set of simulations was performed to ensure the improved performance of the SADTL-TIADD algorithm.The experimental outcomes highlighted the superior of the presented SADTL-TIADD system over the compared methods with maximum accuracy of 99.30%.

A New Multi-Agent Feature Wrapper Machine Learning Approach for Heart Disease Diagnosis

Heart disease(HD)is a serious widespread life-threatening disease.The heart of patients with HD fails to pump sufcient amounts of blood to the entire body.Diagnosing the occurrence of HD early and efciently may prevent the manifestation of the debilitating effects of this disease and aid in its effective treatment.Classical methods for diagnosing HD are sometimes unreliable and insufcient in analyzing the related symptoms.As an alternative,noninvasive medical procedures based on machine learning(ML)methods provide reliable HD diagnosis and efcient prediction of HD conditions.However,the existing models of automated ML-based HD diagnostic methods cannot satisfy clinical evaluation criteria because of their inability to recognize anomalies in extracted symptoms represented as classication features from patients with HD.In this study,we propose an automated heart disease diagnosis(AHDD)system that integrates a binary convolutional neural network(CNN)with a new multi-agent feature wrapper(MAFW)model.The MAFW model consists of four software agents that operate a genetic algorithm(GA),a support vector machine(SVM),and Naïve Bayes(NB).The agents instruct the GA to perform a global search on HD features and adjust the weights of SVM and BN during initial classication.A nal tuning to CNN is then performed to ensure that the best set of features are included in HD identication.The CNN consists of ve layers that categorize patients as healthy or with HD according to the analysis of optimized HD features.We evaluate the classication performance of the proposed AHDD system via 12 common ML techniques and conventional CNN models by using across-validation technique and by assessing six evaluation criteria.The AHDD system achieves the highest accuracy of 90.1%,whereas the other ML and conventional CNN models attain only 72.3%–83.8%accuracy on average.Therefore,the AHDD system proposed herein has the highest capability to identify patients with HD.This system can be used by medical practitioners to diagnose HD efciently。

An Image-Based Diagnostic Expert System for Corn Diseases

The annual worldwide yield losses due to pests are estimated to be billions of dollars. Integrated pest management （IPM） is one of the most important components of crop production in most agricultural areas of the world, and the effectiveness of crop protection depends on accurate and timely diagnosis of phytosanitary problems. Accurately identifying and treatment depends on the method which used in disease and insect pests diagnosis. Identifying plant diseases is usually difficult and requires a plant pathologist or well-trained technician to accurately describe the case. Moreover, quite a few diseases have similar symptoms making it difficult for non-experts to distinguish disease correctly. Another method of diagnosis depends on comparison of the concerned case with similar ones through one image or more of the symptoms and helps enormously in overcoming difficulties of non-experts. The old adage ＇a picture is worth a thousand words＇ is crucially relevant. Considering the user＇s capability to deal and interact with the expert system easily and clearly, a webbased diagnostic expert-system shell based on production rules （i.e., IF 〈 effects 〉 THEN 〈 causes 〉） and frames with a color image database was developed and applied to corn disease diagnosis as a case study. The expert-system shell was made on a 32-bit multimedia desktop microcomputer. The knowledge base had frames, production rules and synonym words as the result of interview and arrangement. It was desired that 80% of total frames used visual color image data to explain the meaning of observations and conclusions. Visual color image displays with the phrases of questions and answers from the expert system, enables users to identify any disease, makes the right decision, and chooses the right treatment. This may increase their level of understanding of corn disease diagnosis. The expert system can be applied to diagnosis of other plant pests or diseases by easy changes to the knowledge base.
