Artificial Intelligence Reduces a 100,000-Equation Quantum Physics Problem to Only Four Equations

#artificialintelligence

"We start with this huge object of all these coupled-together differential equations; then we're using machine learning to turn it into something so small you can count it on your fingers," says study lead author Domenico Di Sante, a visiting research fellow at the Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) in New York City and an assistant professor at the University of Bologna in Italy. The formidable problem concerns how electrons behave as they move on a gridlike lattice. When two electrons occupy the same lattice site, they interact. This setup, known as the Hubbard model, is an idealization of several important classes of materials and enables scientists to learn how electron behavior gives rise to sought-after phases of matter, such as superconductivity, in which electrons flow through a material without resistance. The model also serves as a testing ground for new methods before they're unleashed on more complex quantum systems.

ย  Asย  per WHO one inย ย  four peopleย  in the worldย ย will be affected by mental or neurologicalย  disorder at some point inย  their lives. Aroundย  450 million peopleย  currently sufferย  from such conditions, placingย  mental disordersย  among the leading causes ofย  ill health and disabilityย  worldwide. Mood Disorders โ€“ These disorders are also calledย ย  affective disorders whichย  involves persistentย  feelingย  of sadness orย  period ofย  feeling overly happy , or fluctuationsย  from extreme happiness to ย extremeย  sadness. The most commonย  mood disorders areย  depression ,ย bipolar disorder and cyclothymic disorder. Another type ofย  disorder is theย  Psychoticย  disorder โ€“ This involvesย  distorted awareness and thinking. Two of theย  main commonย  symptoms of psychotic disorders areย  hallucination, where the patient experiencesย  images orย  sounds that areย  not real. Delusions- These are falseย  fixed beliefs that theย  patient accepts asย  true,ย  despite the ย evidence to the contrary . Schizophrenia is an example ofย  psychoticย  disorder. Theseย  disorders cause detachment from reality. Theย  question today is how technology advancement in theย  field of Artificial Intelligence can help inย  the diagnosis of the mental disorders. Therefore it is important to understand what Artificial Intelligence is ? Artificial Intelligence ย is aย  softwareย  program which can think and act like human . Basically weย  are designingย  programs whichย  acts likeย  our brain but with aย  higher level of computing power. The Artificialย  Intelligent program have multiple tools and subsetsย  which haveย  differentย  functions, but they combineย  together toย  create an Artificial Intelligentย  program. One of the importantย  subset of AI is Machine Learningย  โ€“ Machine Learning are algorithms that learn complex patterns from data and make predictions from it. Machine learningย  programs have the followingย  steps:- It takesย  data toย  train the system. Thisย  dataย  can be in the form of structured or unstructured data .ย  The dataย  can beย  extracted from the data base.ย  It can be inย  the form of text, it can be in the formย  of images. Afterย  processing thisย  data , theย  algorithm understandsย ย  and learns the patternย  shown by this vastย  data . Itย  can classifyย  the data that it has not seen before. Machine learningย  isย ย ย  trained by the featuresย  or the traits of theย  subjects. Inย  case ofย  patientsย  who sufferย  fromย  a mental health issue, this data can be in the form of text dataย  thatย  aย  patient may write on social mediaย  site,ย  theย  spoken data , language and dataย  capturedย  through spoken media and then converted toย  text through the use of Natural Language processing. Artificial intelligent programย  can be usedย  to detectย  the Depression , weย  take an exampleย  of aย  research paper whereย  theย  researchersย  accessed the Facebook status whichย  was posted byย  683 patientsย  who visitedย  a large urban academicย  emergencyย  department, 114 of whomย  had a diagnosis ofย  depression in their medical record. The researchย  wasย ย  undertakenย  to detect and predict the diagnosis of theย  depression problem from the language used in the Facebookย  posts. Prediction performances of future diagnosis of depression in the EMR based on demographics and Facebook posting activity, reported as cross-validated out-of-sample AUCs. With theย  Facebook dataย  inย  handย  and using theย  ML model, researchersย  could identify theย  depressed patients with aย  fair degree ofย  accuracyย  at AUC=0.69, approximately matchingย  the accuracy of screening surveys bench markedย  against medicalย  records. Theyย  found that the languageย  predictorย  of depression include emotional(sadness), interpersonal(loneliness, hostility) and cognitive(preoccupation withย  self, rumination) process.ย  From theย  result , it wasย  also observed that theย  userย  whoย  ultimately had a diagnosis of depressionย  usedย ย  moreย  firstย  person singularย  pronouns( I , My , me)suggesting a preoccupation with self.ย  Theย  resultsย  show that theย  Facebookย  language based prediction modelย  performs similarly toย  screening surveys in identifying the patients withย ย  depression when usingย  diagnostic codes in the EMR to identify diagnosis of depression. Growth of social media and the continuous improvement of machine learningย  algorithmย  suggest that social media basedย  screening methods for depressionย  may becomeย  increasinglyย  feasible and more accurate.ย  The present analysisย  therefore also suggests that theย  social media basedย  prediction ofย  futureย  depression statusย  may be possible asย  early asย  3 months beforeย  theย  first documentation of depressionย  in the medical record.ย  Novel avenues are also becomingย  available toย  detect depression.ย  These methods also includeย  algorithmic analysis ofย  phone sensors , GPS position on the phone,ย  facial expression in images and videos shared on social platforms. The predictive model of Logisticย  regression wasย  used. Ten language topics most positively associated with a future depression diagnosis controlling for demographics (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001; BHP < 0.05 after Benjaminiโ€“Hochberg correction for multiple comparisons). As per WHO close to 800 000 commit suicide every year. Some of the companies are also involved in building healthcare applications. Ginger is aย  chat application thatย  is used by the employers that provide directย  counselling to its employees.ย The algorithmย  analyses the words someone uses and then relies on the training from more thanย  2 billion behavioural data samples , 45 million chatย  messages andย  2 millionย  clinical assessments to provide a recommendation. Theย CompanionMXย system has an app that allows patients being treated with depression, bipolar disorders, and other conditions to create an audio log where they can talk about how they are feeling. The AI system analyses the recording as well as looks for changes in behaviour for proactive mental health monitoring.ย Bark, a parental control phone tracker app, monitors major messaging and social media platforms to look for signs of cyber bullying, depression, suicidal thoughts and sexting on a childโ€™s phone. Advantages of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Support Mental Health professionals โ€“ย  AIย  canย  act asย  a supportย  for theย  health professionals in doing theirย  jobs. Algorithms can analyse data much faster than humans can suggest possible treatments, monitor a patientโ€™s progress andย  alert the humanย  professionalย  to any concern. 24/7 access- Due to lack of human mental health professionals, it canย  take months to take an appointment. AI provides a tool that an individual can access without waiting for an appointment. Not expensive โ€“ย  The cost of care prohibits someย  individuals from seeking help. This is more affordable. Comfortย  talking to a bot-ย ย  It is easier to discloseย  an information toย  a bot than to a human. Cognitive computers will analyse a patientโ€™s speech or written words to look for tell-tale indicators found in language, including meaning, syntax and intonation. Combining the results of these measurements with those from wearable devices and imaging systems (MRIs and EEGs) can paint a more complete picture of the individual for health professionals to better identify, understand and treat the underlying disease, be it Parkinsonโ€™s, Alzheimerโ€™s, Huntingtonโ€™s disease, PTSD or even underdevelopment conditions such as autism and ADHD. In a study ย with Columbia University psychiatrists, were able to predict, with 100 percent accuracy, who among a population of at-risk adolescents would develop their first episode of psychosis within two years. In other research with our Pfizer colleagues, weโ€™re using only about 1 minute of speech from Parkinsonโ€™s patients to better track, predict and monitor the disease. Weโ€™re already seeing results of nearly 80 percent accuracy. In five years, we hope to advance the study of using words as windows into our mental health. IBM is building an automated speech analysis application that runs off a mobile device. By taking approximately one minute of speech input, the system uses text-to-speech, advanced analytics, machine learning, natural language processing technologies and computational biology to provide a real-time, overview of the patientโ€™s mental health. Artificial Intelligence will play a pivotal role in creating ground-breaking tools to analyse and detect mental health problems and will play a substantially positive role in increasing the treatment coverage by early diagnosis and possibly be able to reduce the death rates due to mental health problems.

Can Artificial Intelligence Reduce "Notification Overload" for Clinicians?

#artificialintelligence

So, how do we overcome "notification overload" in healthcare? We need the right kind of tools. We need tools that can automate the complex interdisciplinary workflows that result in much of the notification burden. AI-assisted care plan creation, sharing platforms to involve all stakeholders (physicians, home health agencies, care coordinator nurses, patients, and health plans), are a part of the answer. Regulatory and policy changes (within institutions and within health plans) will be needed to facilitate this, once the tools are available.
