• Title: A survey of statistical learning techniques as applied to inexpensive pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea data
• Authors: Emily T. Winn, Marilyn Vazquez, Prachi Loliencar, Kaisa Taipale, Xu Wang and Giseon Heo
• Abstract summary: obstructive sleep apnea affects an estimated 1-5% of elementary-school aged children. Swift diagnosis and treatment are critical to a child's growth and development, but the variability of symptoms and the complexity of the available data make this a challenge. We apply correlation networks, the Mapper algorithm from topological data analysis, and singular value decomposition in a process of exploratory data analysis.

• Abstract: Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea affects an estimated 1-5% of elementary-school aged children and can lead to other detrimental health problems. Swift diagnosis and treatment are critical to a child's growth and development, but the variability of symptoms and the complexity of the available data make this a challenge. We take a first step in streamlining the process by focusing on inexpensive data from questionnaires and craniofacial measurements. We apply correlation networks, the Mapper algorithm from topological data analysis, and singular value decomposition in a process of exploratory data analysis. We then apply a variety of supervised and unsupervised learning techniques from statistics, machine learning, and topology, ranging from support vector machines to Bayesian classifiers and manifold learning. Finally, we analyze the results of each of these methods and discuss the implications for a multi-data-sourced algorithm moving forward.

  Medical image datasets are essential for training models used in computer-aided diagnosis, treatment planning, and medical research. Some challenges are associated with these datasets, including variability in data distribution, data scarcity, and transfer learning issues when using models pre-trained from generic images. We propose a methodology based on Siamese neural networks in which a series of techniques are integrated to mitigate the effects of data scarcity and distribution imbalance.
