Machine learning utilising spectral derivative data improves cellular health classification through hyperspectral infra-red spectroscopy

Abstract

The objective differentiation of facets of cellular metabolism is important for several clinical applications, including accurate definition of tumour boundaries and targeted wound debridement. To this end, spectral biomarkers to differentiate live and necrotic/apoptotic cells have been defined using in vitro methods. The delineation of different cellular states using spectroscopic methods is difficult due to the complex nature of these biological processes. Sophisticated, objective classification methods will therefore be important for such differentiation. In this study, spectral data from healthy/traumatised cell samples using hyperspectral imaging between 2500-3500 nm were collected using a portable prototype device. Machine learning algorithms, in the form of clustering, have been performed on a variety of pre-processing data types including 'raw' unprocessed, smoothed resampling, background subtracted and spectral derivative. The resulting clusters were utilised as a diagnostic tool for the assessment of cellular health and quantified using both sensitivity and specificity to compare the different analysis methods. The raw data exhibited differences for one of the three different trauma types applied, although unable to accurately cluster all the traumatised samples due to signal contamination from the chemical insult. The background subtracted and smoothed data sets reduced the accuracy further, due to the apparent removal of key spectral features which exhibit cellular health. However, the spectral derivative data-types significantly improved the accuracy of clustering compared to other data types, with both sensitivity and specificity for the background subtracted data set being >94% highlighting its utility to account for unknown signal contamination while maintaining important cellular spectral features.

An App Developed for Predicting Nurse Intention to Quit the Job (NIQJ) Using the Artificial Neural Networks(ANN) in Microsoft Excel: Population-Based Questionnaire Study

“…There are different types of algorithms for classi cation in Machine Learning [34,35], such as Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines(SVM) [36], Naïve Bayes, Random Forest Classi cation, ANN, CNN [18,20,22], and k-nearest neighbors algorithm (KNN) [37]. ANN was shown superior with 93.2% classi cation accuracy in the previous study [36], similar to our results, although only two models(CNN and ANN) were compared.…”

Predicting the 14-Day Hospital Readmission of Patients with Pneumonia Using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)

“…The different types of algorithms for classification in machine learning [ 60 , 61 ] are logistic regression, support vector machine [ 61 ], naïve Bayes, random forest classification, ANN, CNN [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ], and k-nearest neighbor [ 61 ]. ANN was superior to the other algorithms, with a 93.2% classification accuracy in a previous study [ 60 ]. However, accuracy of the application of ANN in the prediction of UPRA is not high (e.g., AUC between 0.55 and 0.65) according to a previous study [ 62 ].…”

Predicting Active NBA Players Most Likely to Be Inducted into the Basketball Hall of Famers Using Artificial Neural Networks in Microsoft Excel: Development and Usability Study

“…Many different types of algorithms for classification in machine learning [ 47 , 48 ] were applied in the literature, such as logistic regression, support vector machine [ 48 ], naïve Bayes, random forest classification, ANN, CNN [ 12 , 13 , 14 ], and k-nearest neighbor [ 48 ]. ANN was deemed to be superior to the other algorithms, with 93.2% classification accuracy in a previous study [ 47 ]. It is equivalently equal to 0.93 (95% CI 0.93–0.97) in this study and worth further comparing the ANN accuracy in the future.…”
