Right Choice of Classification Algorithms Based on Reinforcement Learning for Prediction of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver

The paper proposes a reinforcement‑learning framework, termed Fourth Degree Learning, that automatically selects the most suitable classification algorithm for disease prediction tasks. Using this method, the authors report a significant improvement in predictive accuracy for Primary Biliary Cirrhosis, raising it from 63% to 98%. The approach relies on a scoring mechanism called square learning (SL) to guide the algorithm selection process.

Transforming Heart Disease Prediction with Advanced Machine Learning Techniques

The study evaluates several machine‑learning classifiers for predicting heart disease using two public datasets, each with 14 health‑related attributes. Performance metrics such as MAE, RAE, accuracy, precision, recall, and F‑measure were used, revealing that SVM performed best on the UCI data while Simple Cart excelled on the Kaggle data. The authors conclude that well‑tuned ML models can aid early heart‑disease diagnosis and suggest future work on hybrid methods and newer datasets.

Potential of Artificial Intelligence Algorithms for Identification of Relevant Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers of Early-Stage Liver Cancer

This study investigates deep learning and explainable AI methods to diagnose hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers across five disease stages using a transcriptomic dataset built via semi‑supervised learning. The best model used 15 genes selected by SelectKBest, achieving 90.74% accuracy, while a 20‑gene model had the lowest loss of 0.3187. SHAP‑based XAI highlighted DNAJB14 as the most influential gene, and functional validation showed that inhibiting DNAJB14 reverses key malignant traits of HCC cells.
