Accurate early diagnosis is crucial for effective management and treatment. This article presents a novel review of Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques for PD detection and progression monitoring, offering new perspectives by integrating diverse data sources. We examine the public datasets recently used in studies, including audio recordings, gait analysis, and medical imaging. We discuss the preprocessing methods applied, the state-of-the-art models utilized, and their performance. Our evaluation included different algorithms such as support vector machines (SVM), random forests (RF), convolutional neural networks (CNN). These algorithms have shown promising results in PD diagnosis with accuracy rates exceeding 99% in some studies combining data sources. Our analysis particularly showcases the effectiveness of audio analysis in early symptom detection and gait analysis, including the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), in monitoring disease progression. Medical imaging, enhanced by DL techniques, has improved the identification of PD. The application of ML and DL in PD research offers significant potential for improving diagnostic accuracy. However, challenges like the need for large and diverse datasets, data privacy concerns, and data quality in healthcare remain. Additionally, developing explainable AI is crucial to ensure that clinicians can trust and understand ML and DL models. Our review highlights these key challenges that must be addressed to enhance the robustness and applicability of AI models in PD diagnosis, setting the groundwork for future research to overcome these obstacles.</p>","PeriodicalId":520312,"journal":{"name":"Discover artificial intelligence","volume":"5 1","pages":"24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11903556/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143653218","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}

Foundational language models such as GPT must be evaluated for intelligence, and solving word problems is a key method for this assessment. These problems become especially difficult when presented in low-resource regional languages such as Bengali. Word problem solving integrates the cognitive domains of language processing, comprehension, and transformation into real-world solutions. During the past decade, advances in AI and machine learning have significantly progressed in addressing this complex issue. Although researchers worldwide have primarily utilized datasets in English and some in Chinese, there has been a lack of standard datasets for low-resource languages such as Bengali. In this pioneering study, we introduce the first Bengali Math Word Problem Benchmark Data Set (BMWP), comprising 8653 word problems. We detail the creation of this dataset and the benchmarking methods employed. Furthermore, we investigate operation prediction from Bengali word problems using state-of-the-art deep learning (DL) techniques.
