Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has been a breakthrough, reshaping the way we diagnose, treat, manage, and monitor patients. The rise of data in healthcare and its complexity means that AI will increasingly be applied within the field. AI in healthcare is emerging in several ways, such as finding new links between genetic code, powering robots that assist in surgery, automating administrative tasks, personalizing treatment options, and much more.

AI in healthcare is expected to significantly redefine how we process healthcare data, diagnose diseases, develop treatments, and even prevent them altogether. From identifying new cancer treatments to improving patient experiences, AI in healthcare promises to be a game changer, leading the way toward a future where patients receive quality care and treatment faster and more accurately than ever.

This Special Issue aims to publish articles in the interdisciplinary area of healthcare and AI. This includes AI research on disease prevention, early diagnosis, diagnosis, treatment, etc. The topics include but are not limited to:

  • AI for personalized and predictive medicine;
  • Natural language processing in healthcare;
  • Computational genetics and genomics;
  • Data science and big data analytics for healthcare;
  • AI for public health and epidemiology;
  • Computation drug discovery and cheminformatics;
  • AI-based clinical decision making;
  • Medical knowledge engineering;
  • Machine learning and deep learning in healthcare;
  • AI for medical imaging;
  • The future of AI in healthcare.

Microarrays have been proven to be beneficial for understanding the genetics of disease. They are used to assess many different types of cancers. Machine learning algorithms, like the artificial neural network (ANN), can be trained to determine whether a microarray sample is cancerous or not. The classification is performed using the features of DNA microarray data, which are composed of thousands of gene values. However, most of the gene values have been proven to be uninformative and redundant. Meanwhile, the number of the samples is significantly smaller in comparison to the number of genes. Therefore, this paper proposed the use of a simulated Kalman filter with mutation (SKF-MUT) for the feature selection of microarray data to enhance the classification accuracy of ANN. The algorithm is based on a metaheuristics optimization algorithm, inspired by the famous Kalman filter estimator. The mutation operator is proposed to enhance the performance of the original SKF in the selection of microarray features. Eight different benchmark datasets were used, which comprised: diffuse large b-cell lymphomas (DLBCL); prostate cancer; lung cancer; leukemia cancer; “small, round blue cell tumor” (SRBCT); brain tumor; nine types of human tumors; and 11 types of human tumors. These consist of both binary and multiclass datasets. The accuracy is taken as the performance measurement by considering the confusion matrix. Based on the results, SKF-MUT effectively selected the number of features needed, leading toward a higher classification accuracy ranging from 95% to 100%. Full article

Gene expression data are usually known for having a large number of features. Usually, some of these features are irrelevant and redundant. However, in some cases, all features, despite being numerous, show high importance and contribute to the data analysis. In a similar fashion, gene expression data sometimes have limited instances with a high rate of imbalance among the classes. This can limit the exposure of a classification model to instances of different categories, thereby influencing the performance of the model. In this study, we proposed a cancer detection approach that utilized data preprocessing techniques such as oversampling, feature selection, and classification models. The study used SVMSMOTE for the oversampling of the six examined datasets. Further, we examined different techniques for feature selection using dimension reduction methods and classifier-based feature ranking and selection. We trained six machine learning algorithms, using repeated 5-fold cross-validation on different microarray datasets. The performance of the algorithms differed based on the data and feature reduction technique used. Full article

The gastric cancer risk prediction model used for large-scale gastric cancer screening and individual risk stratification is an artificial intelligence tool that combines clinical diagnostic data with a classification algorithm. The ability to automatically make a quantitative assessment of complex clinical data contributes to increased accuracy for diagnosis with higher efficiency, significantly reducing the incidence of advanced gastric cancer. Previous studies have explored the predictive performance of gastric cancer risk prediction models, as well as the predictive factors and algorithms between each model, but have reached controversial conclusions. Thus, the performance of current machine-learning-based gastric cancer risk prediction models alongside the clinical relevance of different predictive factors needs to be evaluated to help build more efficient and feasible models in the future. In this systematic review, we summarize the current research progress related to the gastric cancer risk prediction model; discuss the predictive factors and methods used to construct the model; analyze the role of important predictive factors in gastric cancer, the preference of the selected classification algorithm, and the emphasis of evaluation criteria; and provide suggestions for the subsequent construction and improvement of the gastric cancer risk prediction model. Finally, we propose an improved approach based on the ethical issues of artificial intelligence in medicine to realize the clinical application of the gastric cancer risk prediction model in the future.
