Current Deep Learning (DL) approaches for automated cervical cytology classification encounter challenges such as class imbalance, computational inefficiency, and inadequate generalizability. This study proposes a novel CerviXEnsemble model that integrates multiple pre-trained DL architectures (Inception-ResNetV2, EfficientNet-B6, ResNet152, Inception-ResNetV2, EfficientNet-B6, DenseNet201, and NASNetMobile) as base learners, along with a dense-layer meta-learner that refines and consolidates predictions for improved robustness. Unlike traditional single-CNN models, our stacking ensemble approach utilizes diverse feature representations to enhance classification stability and generalization across multiple cytology datasets. To validate the model, we experimented with the Herlev and SIPaKMeD benchmark datasets in this study. Techniques like contrast enhancement and data augmentation were employed to optimize feature extraction. The model achieved state-of-the-art performance, attaining an accuracy of 99.38 % and an F1-score of 98.49 % on the Herlev dataset and an accuracy of 98.71 % and an F1-score of 97.53 % on SIPaKMeD. These performances are superior to previous studies in controlling class imbalance and providing stable predictions over different samples. Additionally, Explainable AI (XAI) techniques were incorporated to ensure transparent and interpretable predictions, aiding clinicians in their decision-making processes. An interpratable web application was developed for real-time Pap smear analysis to reduce the diagnostic workload for pathologists by identifying high-risk samples. This solution shows great promise for use in various healthcare settings, maintaining high diagnostic accuracy while requiring minimal computational resources, making it suitable for both urban hospitals and rural clinics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13953,"journal":{"name":"Informatics in Medicine Unlocked","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 101657"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144138953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to its high transmissibility and hospitalization rates, COVID-19 has led to many deaths and imposed a considerable burden on healthcare systems worldwide. The development of prognostic approaches supporting clinical decisions for hospitalized patients can contribute to better management of the pandemic. We deploy several Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to derive COVID-19 severity classification prognosis models for unvaccinated patients hospitalized with mild symptoms using immunological biomarkers. The risk levels are precisely defined, targeting patients with uncertain prognostic trajectories. Forty molecular biomarkers were evaluated for their ability to predict the course of the illness. Seven biomarkers, including IL-6, IL-10, CCL2, LDH, IFNα, ferritin, and anti-SARS-CoV-2 N protein IgA antibody, emerge as the most significant early predictors for the prospective development of severe disease. After applying feature selection, we settled for two complete sets of five and three biomarkers to generate appropriate classification models. A Random Forest model with five biomarkers appears to be the most effective, with an accuracy of 0.92 for the external set. Yet, a Decision Tree model with just three biomarkers, and an accuracy of 0.84 for the external set, provides marginally lower yet robust performance and an explainable structure that broadly reflects our current understanding of disease severity. These findings suggest that the severity is influenced by a few key pathological processes. Therefore, a three-biomarker model that utilizes IL-6, IFNα, and anti-SARS-CoV-2 N protein IgA antibody levels may enhance clinical decision-making and patient triage at hospitalization, contributing to the successful management of the disease.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13953,"journal":{"name":"Informatics in Medicine Unlocked","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 101602"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142759656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our research aims to bridge this gap by developing and validating ML models—Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Gradient Boosting Machines (GBM)—optimized for limited datasets prevalent in specialized medical fields.
