In the quantitative analysis of spectral data, small sample size and high dimensionality of spectral variables often lead to poor accuracy of a calibration model. We proposed two methods, namely sample consensus and unsupervised variable consensus models, in order to solve the problem of poor accuracy. Three public near-infrared (NIR) or infrared (IR) spectroscopy data from corn, wine, and soil were used to build the partial least squares regression (PLSR) model. Then, Monte Carlo sampling and unsupervised variable clustering methods of a self-organizing map were coupled with the consensus modeling strategy to establish the multiple sub-models. Finally, sample consensus and unsupervised variable consensus models were obtained by assigning the weights to each PLSR sub-model. The calculated results show that both sample consensus and unsupervised variable consensus models can significantly improve the accuracy of the calibration model compared to the single PLSR model. The effectiveness of these two methods points out a new approach to achieve a further accurate result, which can take full advantage of the sample information and valid variable information.

Background: Aging increases disease susceptibility and reduces vaccine responsiveness, highlighting the need to better understand the aging immune system and its clinical associations. Studying the human immune system, however, remains challenging due to its complexity and significant inter-individual variability.
Methods: We conducted an immune profiling study of 550 elderly participants (≥60 years) and 100 young controls (20-40 years) from the RESIST Senior Individuals (SI) cohort.

One of the principal goals of Precision Medicine is to stratify patients by accounting for individual variability. However, extracting meaningful information from Real-World Data, such as Electronic Health Records, still remains challenging due to methodological and computational issues. A Dynamic Time Warping-based unsupervised-clustering methodology is presented in this paper for the clustering of patient trajectories of multi-modal health data on the basis of shared temporal characteristics.

Chronic pain is an ill-defined disease with complex biopsychosocial aspects, posing treatment challenges. We hypothesized that treatment failure results, at least partly, from limited understanding of diverse patient subgroups. We aimed to identify subgroups using psychological variables, allowing for more tailored interventions.

The inherent variability of lesions poses challenges in leveraging AI in 3D automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) for lesion detection. Traditional methods based on single scans have fallen short compared to comprehensive evaluations by experienced sonologists using multiple scans. To address this, our study introduces an innovative approach combining the multi-view co-attention mechanism (MCAM) with unsupervised contrastive learning.

Tremor is one of the most common symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), assessed using clinician-assigned clinical scales, which can be subjective and prone to variability. This study evaluates the potential of unsupervised learning for the classification and assessment of tremor severity from wearable sensor data. We analyzed 25 resting tremor signals from 24 participants (13 PD patients and 11 controls), focusing on motion intensities derived from accelerometer recordings.
