RLMD‐PA: A Reinforcement Learning‐Based Myocarditis Diagnosis Combined with a Population‐Based Algorithm for Pretraining Weights

Abstract

Myocarditis is heart muscle inflammation that is becoming more prevalent these days, especially with the prevalence of COVID-19. Noninvasive imaging cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can be used to diagnose myocarditis, but the interpretation is time-consuming and requires expert physicians. Computer-aided diagnostic systems can facilitate the automatic screening of CMR images for triage. This paper presents an automatic model for myocarditis classification based on a deep reinforcement learning approach called as reinforcement learning-based myocarditis diagnosis combined with population-based algorithm (RLMD-PA) that we evaluated using the Z-Alizadeh Sani myocarditis dataset of CMR images prospectively acquired at Omid Hospital, Tehran. This model addresses the imbalanced classification problem inherent to the CMR dataset and formulates the classification problem as a sequential decision-making process. The policy of architecture is based on convolutional neural network (CNN). To implement this model, we first apply the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm to obtain initial values for RLMD-PA weights. Next, the agent receives a sample at each step and classifies it. For each classification act, the agent gets a reward from the environment in which the reward of the minority class is greater than the reward of the majority class. Eventually, the agent finds an optimal policy under the guidance of a particular reward function and a helpful learning environment. Experimental results based on standard performance metrics show that RLMD-PA has achieved high accuracy for myocarditis classification, indicating that the proposed model is suitable for myocarditis diagnosis.

MLP-RL-CRD: diagnosis of cardiovascular risk in athletes using a reinforcement learning-based multilayer perceptron

“…In the assessment of the classification efficacy of the devised model, we employed five fundamental performance metrics, specifically accuracy, recall, precision, F-measure, and G-means, each serving a pivotal role in evaluating distinct aspects of model performance (Moravvej et al 2022c). These metrics are defined as follows:…”

“…With the latter, the algorithm assigns more weight to the minority class. Deep learning techniques like deep reinforcement learning (RL) can address data imbalance (Moravvej et al 2021c, Danaei et al 2022, Moravvej et al 2022c. It removes noisy data and identifies superior features using a reward function that differentiates between classes, either by penalizing minority classes more harshly or giving upon them more liberal rewards.…”

ELRL-MD: a deep learning approach for myocarditis diagnosis using cardiac magnetic resonance images with ensemble and reinforcement learning integration

“…Currently, only a few deep learning methodologies are tailored for myocarditis diagnosis using the Z-Alizadeh Sani myocarditis CMR dataset (Sharifrazi et al 2020, Moravvej 2022. This dataset predominantly comprises myocarditis patient images with a relatively small number of healthy subject images.…”

An Improved DE Algorithm to Optimise the Learning Process of a BERT-based Plagiarism Detection Model

“…Neural network methods, including deep networks, are usually based on gradient-based methods such as backpropagation (BP) to identify the appropriate network weights [47,52,68]. Unfortunately, these methods are sensitive to parameter initialization and have the propensity to become trapped in local optima.…”
