Deep learning is rapidly advancing many areas of science and technology with multiple success stories in image, text, voice video recognition, robotics, autonomous driving. In this paper we demonstrate how deep neural networks (DNN) trained on large transcriptional response data sets can classify various drugs to therapeutic categories solely based their profiles. We used the perturbation samples 678 across A549, MCF-7, PC-3 cell lines from LINCS Project linked those 12 use derived MeSH. To...

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with substantial morbidity, especially when it goes undetected. If new-onset AF could be predicted, targeted screening used to find early. We hypothesized that a deep neural network predict from the resting 12-lead ECG and this prediction may help identify those at risk of AF-related stroke. Methods: 1.6 M digital traces 430 000 patients collected 1984 2019. Deep networks were trained (within 1 year) in without history AF. Performance was...

Timely diagnosis of structural heart disease improves patient outcomes, yet many remain underdiagnosed. While population screening with echocardiography is impractical, ECG-based prediction models can help target high-risk patients. We developed a novel machine learning approach to predict multiple conditions, hypothesizing that composite model would yield higher prevalence and positive predictive values facilitate meaningful recommendations for echocardiography.Using 2 232 130 ECGs linked...

The association of copy number variation (CNV) with schizophrenia has been reported evidence increased frequency both rare and large CNVs. Yet, little is known about the impact CNVs in brain structure. In this pilot study, we explored collective effects all each cytogenetic band on risk gray matter measured structural magnetic resonance imaging. With 324 participants’ CNV profiles (151 patients 173 healthy controls), first extracted specific features that differ between controls using a two...

The wide variety of brain imaging technologies allows us to exploit information inherent different data modalities. richness multimodal datasets may increase predictive power and reveal latent variables that otherwise would have not been found. However, the analysis is often conducted by assuming linear interactions which impact accuracy results. We propose use a multi-layer perceptron model enhance structural functional magnetic resonance (sMRI fMRI) combined. also synthetic generator...

Abstract Imputation is a key step in Electronic Health Records-mining as it can significantly affect the conclusions derived from downstream analysis. There are three main categories that explain missingness clinical settings–incompleteness, inconsistency, and inaccuracy–and these capture variety of situations: patient did not seek treatment, health care provider enter information, etc. We used EHR data patients diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Geisinger System to design novel...
