Abstract

This paper aims to assist in the prevention of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) by utilizing machine learning techniques to diagnose CKD at an early stage. Kidney diseases are disorders that disrupt the normal function of the kidney. As the percentage of patients affected by CKD is significantly increasing, effective prediction procedures should be considered. In this paper, we focus on applying different machine learning classification algorithms to a dataset of 400 patients and 24 attributes related to diagnosis of chronic kidney disease. The classification techniques used in this study include Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). To perform experiments, all missing values in the dataset were replaced by the mean of the corresponding attributes. Then, the optimized parameters for the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) techniques were determined by tuning the parameters and performing several experiments. The final models of the two proposed techniques were developed using the best-obtained parameters and features. The empirical results from the experiments indicated that ANN performed better than SVM, with accuracies of 99.75% and 97.75%, respectively, indicating that the outcome of this study is very promising.

Investigating Group Distributionally Robust Optimization for Deep Imbalanced Learning: A Case Study of Binary Tabular Data Classification

Ismail. B. Mustapha, Shafaatunnur Hasan, Hatem S. Y. Nabbus, Mohamed Mostafa Ali Montaser, Sunday Olusanya Olatunji, Siti Maryam Shamsuddin

Summary: One of the most studied challenges in machine learning is the class imbalance problem, and recent studies have shown that deep neural networks are susceptible to it. Traditional learning objective, empirical risk minimization (ERM), is biased towards the majority class, thus unable to achieve optimal imbalance learning in deep neural networks. This study investigates an alternative learning objective called group distributionally robust optimization (gDRO) for imbalance learning on tabular imbalanced data. Experimental findings reveal that gDRO outperforms ERM and other classical imbalance methods in terms of g-mean and roc-auc, across various benchmark imbalance binary tabular data.

Causes of delay in the global construction industry: a meta analytical review

Muizz O. Sanni-Anibire, Rosli Mohamad Zin, Sunday Olusanya Olatunji

Summary: The construction industry is plagued by inefficiency and productivity losses, including delays. The impact of delays can result in time and cost overruns, legal disputes, and project abandonment. Despite the increasing trend of construction globalization, there is a lack of systematic review on research about construction delays. This study provides an overview of the causes of construction delays and conducts a meta-data analysis based on Relative Importance Index (RII) values from influential studies in the past 15 years. Based on this analysis, the top five causes of delays globally are identified as contractor's financial difficulties, delay in approval of completed work, slow delivery of materials, poor site organization and coordination, and poor planning of resources and duration estimation/scheduling.

Searching for significant reactions and subprocesses in models of biological systems based on Petri nets

Kaja Gutowska, Piotr Formanowicz

Summary: The primary aim of this research is to propose algorithms for identifying significant reactions and subprocesses within biological system models constructed using classical Petri nets. These solutions enable two analysis methods: importance analysis for identifying critical individual reactions to the model's functionality and occurrence analysis for finding essential subprocesses. The utility of these methods has been demonstrated through analyses of an example model related to the DNA damage response mechanism. It should be noted that these proposed analyses can be applied to any biological phenomenon represented using the Petri net formalism. The presented analysis methods extend classical Petri net-based analyses, enhancing our comprehension of the investigated biological phenomena and aiding in the identification of potential molecular targets for drugs.

LDP-GAN : Generative adversarial networks with local differential privacy for patient medical records synthesis

Hansle Gwon, Imjin Ahn, Yunha Kim, Hee Jun Kang, Hyeram Seo, Heejung Choi, Ha Na Cho, Minkyoung Kim, Jiye Han, Gaeun Kee, Seohyun Park, Kye Hwa Lee, Tae Joon Jun, Young-Hak Kim

Summary: Electronic medical records have potential in advancing healthcare technologies, but privacy issues hinder their full utilization. Deep learning-based generative models can mitigate this problem by creating synthetic data similar to real patient data. However, the risk of data leakage due to malicious attacks poses a challenge to traditional generative models. To address this, we propose a method that employs local differential privacy (LDP) to protect the model from attacks and preserve the privacy of training data, while generating medical data with reasonable performance.
