In this paper, an automated feature selection (FS) method is presented to optimize machine learning (ML) models' performances, enhancing early keratoconus screening. A total of 448 parameters were analyzed from a dataset comprising 3162 observations sourced from the swept source optical coherence tomography imaging system developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Automation (SS-1000 CASIA OCT) and electronic health records (EHR). To identify the most relevant features, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) method was used in this study.

The presence of laryngeal disease affects vocal fold(s) dynamics and thus causes changes in pitch, loudness, and other characteristics of the human voice. Many frameworks based on the acoustic analysis of speech signals have been created in recent years; however, they are evaluated on just one or two corpora and are not independent to voice illnesses and human bias. In this article, a unified wavelet-based paradigm for evaluating voice diseases is presented.

In this study, Gabor wavelet transform on the strength of deep learning which is a new approach for the symmetry face database is presented. A proposed face recognition system was developed to be used for different purposes. We used Gabor wavelet transform for feature extraction of symmetry face training data, and then, we used the deep learning method for recognition.

These are the results of 61 bifurcations treated by percutaneous coronary angioplasty in 50 patients (41 males, 9 females) between 1998 and 2003. Bifurcation stenosis, dominated by type I of bifurcation classification. Global restenosis rate was 20% and didn't concern any case of kissing balloon.
