Potential of vibrational spectroscopy coupled with machine learning as a non-invasive diagnostic method for COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Efforts to alleviate the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis showed that rapid, sensitive, and large-scale screening is critical for controlling the current infection and that of ongoing pandemics.

Methods

Here, we explored the potential of vibrational spectroscopy coupled with machine learning to screen COVID-19 patients in its initial stage. Herein presented is a hybrid classification model called grey wolf optimized support vector machine (GWO-SVM). The proposed model was tested and comprehensively compared with other machine learning models via vibrational spectroscopic fingerprinting including saliva FTIR spectra dataset and serum Raman scattering spectra dataset.

Results

For the unknown vibrational spectra, the presented GWO-SVM model provided an accuracy, specificity and F1_score value of 0.9825, 0.9714 and 0.9778 for saliva FTIR spectra dataset, respectively, while an overall accuracy, specificity and F1_score value of 0.9085, 0.9552 and 0.9036 for serum Raman scattering spectra dataset, respectively, which showed superiority than those of state-of-the-art models, thereby suggesting the suitability of the GWO-SVM model to be adopted in a clinical setting for initial screening of COVID-19 patients.

Conclusions

Prospectively, the presented vibrational spectroscopy based GWO-SVM model can facilitate in screening of COVID-19 patients and alleviate the medical service burden. Therefore, herein proof-of-concept results showed the chance of vibrational spectroscopy coupled with GWO-SVM model to help COVID-19 diagnosis and have the potential be further used for early screening of other infectious diseases.

Project description:BackgroundOne of the most challenging tasks for bladder cancer diagnosis is to histologically differentiate two early stages, non-invasive Ta and superficially invasive T1, the latter of which is associated with a significantly higher risk of disease progression. Indeed, in a considerable number of cases, Ta and T1 tumors look very similar under microscope, making the distinction very difficult even for experienced pathologists. Thus, there is an urgent need for a favoring system based on machine learning (ML) to distinguish between the two stages of bladder cancer.MethodsA total of 1177 images of bladder tumor tissues stained by hematoxylin and eosin were collected by pathologists at University of Rochester Medical Center, which included 460 non-invasive (stage Ta) and 717 invasive (stage T1) tumors. Automatic pipelines were developed to extract features for three invasive patterns characteristic to the T1 stage bladder cancer (i.e., desmoplastic reaction, retraction artifact, and abundant pinker cytoplasm), using imaging processing software ImageJ and CellProfiler. Features extracted from the images were analyzed by a suite of machine learning approaches.ResultsWe extracted nearly 700 features from the Ta and T1 tumor images. Unsupervised clustering analysis failed to distinguish hematoxylin and eosin images of Ta vs. T1 tumors. With a reduced set of features, we successfully distinguished 1177 Ta or T1 images with an accuracy of 91-96% by six supervised learning methods. By contrast, convolutional neural network (CNN) models that automatically extract features from images produced an accuracy of 84%, indicating that feature extraction driven by domain knowledge outperforms CNN-based automatic feature extraction. Further analysis revealed that desmoplastic reaction was more important than the other two patterns, and the number and size of nuclei of tumor cells were the most predictive features.ConclusionsWe provide a ML-empowered, feature-centered, and interpretable diagnostic system to facilitate the accurate staging of Ta and T1 diseases, which has a potential to apply to other types of cancer.
