AI Article Synopsis

  • Many studies have used claims data to assess ischemic stroke, but traditional rule-based definitions tend to overestimate cases.
  • The research aimed to find a better method for identifying stroke using machine learning techniques on data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service and Ilsan Hospital, involving nearly 30,900 patients.
  • The study found that the machine learning models, particularly the gated recurrent unit (GRU), significantly outperformed traditional methods, achieving very high accuracy and precision in identifying ischemic stroke cases.

Article Abstract

Background: Many studies have evaluated stroke using claims data; most of these studies have defined ischemic stroke using an operational definition following the rule-based method. Rule-based methods tend to overestimate the number of patients with ischemic stroke.

Objectives: We aimed to identify an appropriate algorithm for identifying stroke by applying machine learning (ML) techniques to analyze the claims data.

Methods: We obtained the data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, which is linked to the Ilsan Hospital database (n = 30,897). The performance of prediction models (extreme gradient boosting [XGBoost] or gated recurrent unit [GRU]) was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), the area under precision-recall curve (AUPRC), and calibration curve.

Results: In total, 30,897 patients were enrolled in this study, 3145 of whom (10.18%) had ischemic stroke. XGBoost, a tree-based ML technique, had the AUROC was 94.46% and AUPRC was 92.80%. GRU showed the highest accuracy (99.81%), precision (99.92%) and recall (99.69%).

Conclusions: We proposed recurrent neural network-based deep learning techniques to improve stroke phenotyping. This can be expected to produce rapid and more accurate results than the rule-based methods.

The identification of neoantigens is crucial for advancing vaccines, diagnostics, and immunotherapies. Despite this importance, a fundamental question remains: how to model the presentation of neoantigens by major histocompatibility complex class I molecules and the recognition of the peptide-MHC-I (pMHC-I) complex by T cell receptors (TCRs). Accurate prediction of pMHC-I binding and TCR recognition remains a significant computational challenge in immunology due to intricate binding motifs and the long-tail distribution of known binding pairs in public databases.

A comprehensive benchmarking for evaluating TCR embeddings in modeling TCR-epitope interactions.

The complexity of T cell receptor (TCR) sequences, particularly within the complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3), requires efficient embedding methods for applying machine learning to immunology. While various TCR CDR3 embedding strategies have been proposed, the absence of their systematic evaluations created perplexity in the community. Here, we extracted CDR3 embedding models from 19 existing methods and benchmarked these models with four curated datasets by accessing their impact on the performance of TCR downstream tasks, including TCR-epitope binding affinity prediction, epitope-specific TCR identification, TCR clustering, and visualization analysis.
