Addressing Imbalanced Classification Problems in Drug Discovery and Development Using Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, AutoGluon-Tabular, and H2O AutoML by Ayush Garg (21090944)

“…The important findings of our studies are as follows: (i) there is no effect of threshold optimization on ranking metrics such as AUC and AUPR, but AUC and AUPR get affected by class-weighting and SMOTTomek; (ii) for ML methods RF and SVM, significant percentage improvement up to 375, 33.33, and 450 over all the data sets can be achieved, respectively, for F1 score, MCC, and balanced accuracy, which are suitable for performance evaluation of imbalanced data sets; (iii) for AutoML libraries AutoGluon-Tabular and H2O AutoML, significant percentage improvement up to 383.33, 37.25, and 533.33 over all the data sets can be achieved, respectively, for F1 score, MCC, and balanced accuracy; (iv) the general pattern of percentage improvement in balanced accuracy is that the percentage improvement increases when the class ratio is systematically decreased from 0.5 to 0.1; in the case of F1 score and MCC, maximum improvement is achieved at the class ratio of 0.3; (v) for both ML and AutoML with balancing, it is observed that any individual class-balancing technique does not outperform all other methods on a significantly higher number of data sets based on F1 score; (vi) the three external balancing techniques combined outperformed the internal balancing methods of the ML and AutoML; (vii) AutoML tools perform as good as the ML models and in some cases perform even better for handling imbalanced classification when applied with imbalance handling techniques. …”

Various stereological parameters characterizing lung parenchyma and AEII before, during and after alveolarization as well as in adults. by Julia Hüttmann (22656283)

“…PLoS One. 2024 Mar 14;19(3):e029. b) The total number of alveolar epithelial cells type II (N(AEII, lung)) shows a significant increase after the end of bulk alveolarization and in adults compared to 3 days old rats. c) During alveolarization the number of AEII per mm² alveolar surface (N(AEII, lung)/S(alveoli, lung)) decreases continuously reaching the significant lowest values in adults. d) The number of AEII related to lung volume decreases continuously during alveolarization. …”
