Numerous studies have been conducted to identify microorganisms using MALDI-TOF MS. Markers are characteristics that can be used to uniquely distinguish microorganisms. Microorganisms can be identified by applying markers selected based on the extracted mass information. Previous studies demonstrated that combining mass information extracted by MALDI-TOF MS with machine-learning techniques can improve microorganism classification. Classification of microorganisms is particularly difficult and critical for mycobacteria because various pathogens should be treated with different prescriptions, although they exhibit similar compositions. It is quite challenging to accurately identify mycobacteria using conventional methods because their MALDI-TOF MS patterns are similar to each other. In this study, we propose a support vector machine model for improving the distinction of similar species by learning positive and negative markers separately extracted in each group. We classified species in the Mycobacterium abscessus group and Mycobacterium fortuitum group. Our novel approach applies negative markers to classify similar species and improves the identification of similar species using a combination of positive and negative markers.","PeriodicalId":262603,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117075822","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}

This paper quantitatively analyses several components of cerebellar dysarthria. The methodology described in this study will be extended to other types of dysarthria via systematic analysis. The speech production model is characterized as a second-order singleinput and single-output (SISO), linear, time-invariant (LTI) system in our study. A comparative study on the behavior of the damping ratio and resonant frequency for dysarthric and non-dysarthric subjects is presented. The results are further analyzed using the Principal component analysis (PCA) technique to emphasize the variation and uncover strong patterns in the selected features. The effects of some other related factors like decay time and Q-factor are also highlighted.","PeriodicalId":262603,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131529102","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 the extremely high dimensionality of image and genetic data, and considering the potential joint effect of genetic variants, multivariate techniques have been examined to detect Alzheimers disease (AD) related genetic variants expressed through single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However, the image features used in support of those methods are not immediately related to the disease, and the detected genetic markers may not be related to AD. In this study, we propose an ensemble model based framework for firstly extracting 50 region-based image features whose values are predicted by base learners trained on raw neuroimaging morphological variables. This task is followed by performing sparse Partial Least Squares regression (sPLS) method on the extracted 50 AD related image features and pre-selected 1508 SNPs to detect the significant SNPs associated with the extracted image features. Instead of modeling a direct link between genetic variants and disease label, we captured disease information indirectly.","PeriodicalId":262603,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128150897","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}
