Introduction: Machine Learning (ML) has emerged as a promising approach in healthcare, outperforming traditional statistical techniques. However, to establish ML as a reliable tool in clinical practice, adherence to best practices in , and is crucial. In this work, we summarize and strictly adhere to such practices to ensure reproducible and reliable ML.

Article Synopsis
  • - Epilepsy surgery can benefit individuals with focal onset drug-resistant seizures, but accurate diagnosis of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) is crucial for effectiveness, often relying on experienced interpretation of seizure symptoms.
  • - This study aims to improve EZ localization by automatically analyzing seizure descriptions in video-EEG reports, utilizing Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques on a dataset of 536 seizure descriptions from 122 patients.
  • - The proposed method achieved over 70% accuracy in classifying the EZ's location within the brain, suggesting that improved recognition of the EZ through this approach could lead to better patient outcomes and quicker access to surgery.
