Fibrosis and inflammatory activity diagnosis of chronic hepatitis C based on extreme learning machine

Abstract The traditional diagnosis of chronic hepatitis C usually relies on liver biopsy. Diagnosing chronic hepatitis C based on serum indices provides a non-invasive way to determine the stage of chronic hepatitis C without liver biopsy. In this paper, we proposed two automatic diagnosis systems f...

description Abstract The traditional diagnosis of chronic hepatitis C usually relies on liver biopsy. Diagnosing chronic hepatitis C based on serum indices provides a non-invasive way to determine the stage of chronic hepatitis C without liver biopsy. In this paper, we proposed two automatic diagnosis systems for non-invasive diagnosis of chronic hepatitis C based on serum indices, an extreme learning machine (ELM) based auto-diagnosis method and a hybrid method using k-means clustering and ELM. The two proposed systems were used to predict the fibrosis stage and inflammatory activity grade of patients with chronic hepatitis C by analyzing their serum index observations. ELM has superiorities such as simple structure and fast calculation speed and can provide good diagnosis performance. To overcome the problem of class-imbalance, outliers and small sample size, we also proposed a method hybridizing k-means and ELM. It employed the k-means clustering to generate new robust training samples and then employed the new generated training samples to train an ELM for chronic hepatitis C diagnosis. The proposed methods were tested on 123 real clinical cases. Experimental results show that the proposed methods outperform the state-of-the-art methods for the fibrosis stage and inflammatory activity grade diagnosis tasks.
