Abstract:The behaviors of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often erratic and difficult to predict. Most of the time, they are unable to communicate effectively in their own language. Instead, they communicate using hand gestures and pointing phrases. Because of this, it can be difficult for caregivers to grasp their patients’ requirements, although early detection of the condition can make this much simpler. Assistive technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) can alleviate the absence of verbal and no… Show more
“…FL is an advanced ML based approach that never transmits data over the network 54 . Data is kept with its generating organization 55 whereas only a small sized local data model is trained from onsite data and transmitted over the network towards central server where all local models are combined to train meta classifier for determining which ML model is most effective in autism detection 56 . Objective of proposed model is to detect ASD symptoms at different stages of age with minimum time, controlled expense and maximum accuracy.…”
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents a neurological and developmental disorder that has an impact on the social and cognitive skills of children causing repetitive behaviours, restricted interests, communication problems and difficulty in social interaction. Early diagnosis of ASD can prevent from its severity and prolonged effects. Federated learning (FL) is one of the most recent techniques that can be applied for accurate ASD diagnoses in early stages or prevention of its long-term effects. In this article, FL technique has been uniquely applied for autism detection by training two different ML classifiers including logistic regression and support vector machine locally for classification of ASD factors and detection of ASD in children and adults. Due to FL, results obtained from these classifiers have been transmitted to central server where meta classifier is trained to determine which approach is most accurate in the detection of ASD in children and adults. Four different ASD patient datasets, each containing more than 600 records of effected children and adults have been obtained from different repository for features extraction. The proposed model predicted ASD with 98% accuracy (in children) and 81% accuracy (in adults).

“…Within clinical settings, the commonly employed sepsis scoring systems encompass the Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) criteria [6], the Modified Early Warning Scale (MEWS) [8], and the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score [9]. While these systems exhibit commendable sensitivity, they often grapple with issues related to specificity and are not explicitly designed for predicting the development of sepsis.…”
In hospitals, sepsis is a common and costly condition, but machine learning systems that utilize electronic health records can enhance the timely detection of sepsis. The purpose of this research is to verify the effectiveness of a machine learning tool that makes use of a gradient boosted ensemble for sepsis diagnosis and prediction in relation. San Francisco University of California, (SFUC) Medical Center and the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) databases were consulted for historical information. The study encompassed adult patients who were admitted without sepsis and had a minimum single logging of six vital signs (SpO2, temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, diastolic blood pressure and systolic). Using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve, the performance of the machine learning algorithm was compared to commonly used scoring systems, and its accuracy was determined. Performance of the MLA (machine learning algorithm) was evaluated at sepsis onset, as well as 24 and 48 hours before sepsis onset. The AUROC for the MLA was 0.88, 0.84, and 0.83 for sepsis onset, 24 hours prior, and 48 hours prior, respectively. At the time of onset, these values were superior to those of SOFA, MEWS, qSOFA, and SIRS. Using UCSF data for training and MIMIC data for testing, the sepsis onset AUROC was 0.89. The MLA can safely predict sepsis up to forty-eight hours before it occurs and the accuracy in detecting the onset of sepsis is higher in comparison to traditional instruments. When trained and evaluated on distinct datasets, the MLA maintains high performance for sepsis detection.
