Research paper: “Ten Year Cardiovascular Risk Estimation: A Machine Learning Approach” (CMBEBIH & MEDICON 2023)

Mr Dejan Babic presented the research paper “Ten Year Cardiovascular Risk Estimation: A Machine Learning Approach” on a joint event CMBEBIH & MEDICON 2023 which held place in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina from September 14th to September 16th. The paper presented a comprehensive analysis of the use of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques in the sense of predicting the risk, and therefore evaluate their potential in identifying patients with possibilities of developing cardiovascular disease.

ABSTRACT – Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common causes of death in the world. Usual practice in medicine is estimation of 10 years risk of patients developing cardiovascular disease. This practice enables taking preventive measures such as early medical treatments and lifestyle changes. The key step is to accurately assess the risk where the patients can be treated accordingly. With advancement of Artificial Intelligence and ML in medicine, this study aims to present a comprehensive analysis of the use of these techniques in the sense of predicting the risk, and therefore evaluate their potential in identifying patients with possibilities of developing cardiovascular disease. First, an analysis of the working dataset is provided. Then, various traditional classification models are implemented and trained on the dataset, and their performance is compared. The classifying models used in this research include SVC, KNN etc. The results of this study are presented in systematic comparison, where the performances of all the models are represented with discussion about challenges and possible limitations of the data regarding this particular problem. Normalization and oversampling techniques were used and reduced the overfitting problem.

Master thesis: The use of Artificial Intelligence on Edge (Edge AI)

Mr Ivan Jovovic, a young researcher from UDG, just defended his Master thesis on the use of artificial intelligence and machine learining on edge devices. This research was supported in part by HPC4S3ME project and EUROCC. His thesis included some great examples of AI applications in digital agriculture. Mr Jovovic intends to continue his research in this domain and to enroll PhD program at the UDG. Mr Jovovic explored the use of different tools for ML and he also experimened with the use of HPC for training prediction models that can be ported onto edge devices. He was one of the first MSc theses defended from the Artificial Intelligence Master program created under the EuroCC project.

ABSTRACT – This thesis explores the combination of artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and edge computing in modern applications, with a special focus on medicine and agriculture. The paper first introduces the reader to the basic terms and definitions of machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, the Internet of Things and Edge computing. After the theoretical basis, the work provides an insight into the practical applications of these technologies in medicine and agriculture, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of their applications. In the following, the paper offers a detailed study of practical examples of edge artificial intelligence in agriculture and healthcare, as well as artificial intelligence in the field of medicine, with focus on disease classification. Through the realization and implementation of these projects, the interpretation of the results and the discussion, the paper emphasizes the importance of the integration of artificial intelligence and edge computing in various industries.
