• Abstract: Clinical diagnosis guidelines aim at specifying the steps that may lead to a diagnosis. Inspired by guidelines, we aim to learn the optimal sequence of actions to perform in order to obtain a correct diagnosis from electronic health records. We apply various deep reinforcement learning algorithms to this task and experiment on a synthetic but realistic dataset to differentially diagnose anemia and its subtypes and particularly evaluate the robustness of various approaches to noise and missing data. Experimental results show that the deep reinforcement learning algorithms show competitive performance compared to the state-of-the-art methods with the added advantage that they enable the progressive generation of a pathway to the suggested diagnosis, which can both guide and explain the decision process.

  Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that significantly impacts both motor and non-motor functions, including speech. This paper provides a comprehensive review of methods for PD recognition using speech data, highlighting advances in machine learning and data-driven approaches. Various classification algorithms are explored, including logistic regression, SVM, and neural networks, with and without feature selection. Our findings indicate that specific acoustic features and advanced machine-learning techniques can effectively differentiate between individuals with PD and healthy controls.
