Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Detection Machine Learning Model Based on Optimized Feature Selection and Explainable Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been classified as a severe health problem common among women globally. Early detection and treatment of PCOS reduce the possibility of long-term complications, such as increasing the chances of developing type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. Therefore, effective and early PCOS diagnosis will help the healthcare systems to reduce the disease’s problems and complications. Machine learning (ML) and ensemble learning have recently shown promising results in medical diagnostics. The main goal of our research is to provide model explanations to ensure efficiency, effectiveness, and trust in the developed model through local and global explanations. Feature selection methods with different types of ML models (logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), naive Bayes (NB), support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), xgboost, and Adaboost algorithm to get optimal feature selection and best model. Stacking ML models that combine the best base ML models with meta-learner are proposed to improve performance. Bayesian optimization is used to optimize ML models. Combining SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Techniques) and ENN (Edited Nearest Neighbour) solves the class imbalance. The experimental results were made using a benchmark PCOS dataset with two ratios splitting 70:30 and 80:20. The result showed that the Stacking ML with REF feature selection recorded the highest accuracy at 100 compared to other models.

Enhancing the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) Security with Meta-Learning: A Performance-Driven Approach for Ensemble Intrusion Detection Systems

“…Meta-learning in ensemble models involves various methods to optimize the combination of diverse base models for improved predictive accuracy and robustness. Techniques such as bagging, boosting, and stacking are commonly employed in ensemble learning to enhance model performance by leveraging the strengths of individual models and mitigating their weaknesses [ 62 ]. Meta-ensemble methods, which involve combining multiple ensemble techniques, offer a comprehensive approach to adaptively adjust decision fusion strategies based on the characteristics of each base model, leading to superior predictive capabilities in tasks such as sentiment analysis and disease detection [ 36 , 63 ].…”

Diagnosis of COVID-19 Using Chest X-ray Images and Disease Symptoms Based on Stacking Ensemble Deep Learning

“…AI provides a wide range of approaches for analyzing complex data to advance understanding of the subject of COVID-19 [4][5][6][7]. AI employs machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) to produce algorithms that can be used in the clinical and biomedical fields for patient classification and stratification based on the pairing and processing of a wide range of available data sources, such as heart disease detection [8], polycystic ovary syndrome detection [9], and chronic kidney disease detection [10]. The most significant contribution is using AI to detect patients at higher risk early to treat those patients and control disease transmission.…”
