Comparing feature selection and machine learning approaches for predicting CYP2D6 methylation from genetic variation

IntroductionPharmacogenetics currently supports clinical decision-making on the basis of a limited number of variants in a few genes and may benefit paediatric prescribing where there is a need for more precise dosing. Integrating genomic information such as methylation into pharmacogenetic models holds the potential to improve their accuracy and consequently prescribing decisions. Cytochrome P450 2D6 […]

Long-range temporal correlations in resting state alpha oscillations in major depressive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder

IntroductionMental disorders are a significant concern in contemporary society, with a pressing need to identify biological markers. Long-range temporal correlations (LRTC) of brain rhythms have been widespread in clinical cohort studies, especially in major depressive disorder (MDD). However, research on LRTC in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is severely limited. Given the high co-occurrence of OCD and […]

Leveraging neuro-inspired AI accelerator for high-speed computing in 6G networks

The field of wireless communication is currently being pushed to new boundaries with the emergence of 6G technology. This advanced technology requires substantially increased data rates and processing speeds while simultaneously requiring energy-efficient solutions for real-world practicality. In this work, we apply a neuroscience-inspired machine learning model called echo state network (ESN) to the critical […]
