We develop hybrid methods that integrate multi-criteria decision making, evolutionary algorithms and machine learning to be used in medical diagnosis problems. The proposed models classify patients into two categories according to their disease status with the aim of obtaining high classification performances both classes under consideration. First, we develop a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming approach, Parametrized Classification Model (PCM), which is based on UTADIS. By solving PCM multiple times with various values of a specific parameter, we obtain a set of solutions spread over the Pareto-optimal front in the space of true positive and true negative responses. Then, to combine strong aspects of these solutions, we integrate PCM with evolutionary algorithms, NSGA-II and RECGA, to tune the classification parameters acquired by PCM. NSGA-II favors non-dominated solutions in terms of sensitivity and specificity and RECGA aims to perform well particularly in situations where the incidence of the disease may be relatively low, such as general screening. We call the developed integrated models as PCM+NSGA-II and PCM+RECGA, respectively. In order to observe the model performances, we try them with three different datasets which are about coronary stent patients and breast cancer. Furthermore, we apply several well-known machine learning algorithms to these datasets and compare the results with the results of PCM+NSGA-II and PCM+RECGA. Additionally, for the coronary stent dataset, the model performances are compared with those of cardiologists. The results indicate that PCM+NSGA-II and PCM+RECGA are promising classification algorithms that can be used in medical decision support tools by medical experts.

Deep learning (DL) is a subfield of machine learning (ML), which has recently demon-strated its potency to significantly improve the quantification and classification workflows in bio-medical and clinical applications. Among the end applications profoundly benefitting from DL, cellular morphology quantification is one of the pioneers. Here, we first briefly explain fundamental concepts in DL and then we review some of the emerging DL-enabled applications in cell morphology quantification in the fields of em...
Multi-time-scale input approaches for hourly-scale rainfall-runoff modeling based on recurrent neural networks
Ishida, Kei; Kiyama, Masato; Ercan, Ali; Amagasaki, Motoki; Tu, Tongbi (2021-11-01)
This study proposes two effective approaches to reduce the required computational time of the training process for time-series modeling through a recurrent neural network (RNN) using multi-time-scale time-series data as input. One approach provides coarse and fine temporal resolutions of the input time-series data to RNN in parallel. The other concatenates the coarse and fine temporal resolutions of the input time-series data over time before considering them as the input to RNN. In both approaches, first, ...
Mesh Learning for Object Classification using fMRI Measurements
Ekmekci, Ömer; Ozay, Mete; Oztekin, Ilke; GİLLAM, İLKE; Oztekin, Uygar (2013-09-18)
Machine learning algorithms have been widely used as reliable methods for modeling and classifying cognitive processes using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data. In this study, we aim to classify fMRI measurements recorded during an object recognition experiment. Previous studies focus on Multi Voxel Pattern Analysis (MVPA) which feeds a set of active voxels in a concatenated vector form to a machine learning algorithm to train and classify the cognitive processes. In most of the MVPA methods,...
Robust multiobjective evolutionary feature subset selection algorithm for binary classification using machine learning techniques
Deniz, Ayca; Kiziloz, Hakan Ezgi; Dokeroglu, Tansel; Coşar, Ahmet (2017-06-07)
This study investigates the success of a multiobjective genetic algorithm (GA) combined with state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) techniques for the feature subset selection (FSS) in binary classification problem (BCP). Recent studies have focused on improving the accuracy of BCP by including all of the features, neglecting to determine the best performing subset of features. However, for some problems, the number of features may reach thousands, which will cause too much computation power to be consumed ...

Data mining algorithms have been applied in various fields of medicine to get insights about diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases. This gives rise to more research on personalized medicine as patient data can be utilized to predict outcomes of certain treatment procedures. Accordingly, this study aims to create a model to provide decision support for surgeons in Neurooncology surgery. For this purpose, we have analyzed clinical pathology records of Neurooncology patients through various classificatio...
