EMFE (Efficient Mathematical Feature Extraction) is a lightweight, explainable machine‑learning framework that classifies single red‑blood‑cell images as parasitized or uninfected using five engineered features: Gray World color normalization, adaptive green‑channel thresholding, morphological spot detection, and classical classifiers. On the NIH LHNCBC malaria dataset (27,558 images from 200 patients), a tuned Random Forest achieved 94.6% pooled out‑of‑fold accuracy, 94.3% on a 40‑patient holdout, and outperformed deep‑learning baselines in an accuracy‑efficiency trade‑off. Ablation studies, synthetic perturbations, and explainability analyses identified spot saturation as the dominant discriminative feature and quantified the framework’s failure modes and patient‑level performance.

The paper introduces two YOLOv11-based instance segmentation models that simultaneously perform wound boundary segmentation and wound classification across five clinically relevant wound types. Using a balanced dataset of 2,963 annotated images and data augmentation, the models achieve high performance, with YOLOv11x excelling in boundary segmentation and YOLOv11m and YOLOv11l leading in classification metrics. The lightweight YOLOv11n variant offers comparable accuracy with lower computational demands, making it suitable for resource-constrained clinical and remote care deployments.

The paper presents an intelligent system that predicts stroke risk using eleven clinical features and evaluates seven supervised machine learning algorithms. Ensemble methods—Random Forest, Stacking Classifier, and Bagging Classifier—achieved the highest accuracies, reaching 99.52%, while other models such as KNN, TabNet, and a custom feedforward network also performed well. The study demonstrates that ensemble approaches are particularly effective for stroke classification tasks.

An interpretable multi‑instance learning classifier based on a decision tree was developed to predict NPM1 and FLT3‑ITD mutations in acute myeloid leukemia using routine flow cytometry data. In cross‑validation on 197 patients, the model achieved AUROCs of 0.96 for NPM1 and 0.86 for FLT3‑ITD, outperforming a clinical baseline and matching deep learning methods. On an independent cohort of 161 patients, it maintained high performance with AUROCs of 0.90 and 0.82, and positive predictive values of 0.87 and 0.68, while cell‑level interpretation recovered known immunophenotypic signatures.

The paper presents a new labelled ICU dataset and benchmarks for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) from electrocardiograms (ECGs). It compares three AI approaches—feature‑based classifiers, deep learning, and ECG foundation models—across Canadian ICU data and the 2021 PhysioNet challenge, finding that ECG foundation models with transfer learning achieve the highest F1 score (0.89). The study demonstrates the feasibility of automated AF monitoring in ICU settings and provides resources for further research.
