Abstract

Clinical note research is globally recognized, but work on real-time data, particularly from India, is still lagging. This study initiated by training models on medical information mart for intensive care (MIMIC) clinical notes, focusing on conditions like chronic kidney disease (CKD), myocardial infarction (MI), and asthma using the structured medical domain bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (SMDBERT) model. Subsequently, these models were applied to an Indian dataset obtained from two hospitals. The key difference between publicly available datasets and real-time data lies in the prevalence of certain diseases. For example, in a real-time setting, tuberculosis may exist, but the MIMIC dataset lacks corresponding clinical notes. Thus, an innovative approach was developed by combining a fine-tuned SMDBERT model with a customized zero-shot learning method to effectively analyze tuberculosis-related clinical notes. Another research gap is the lack of explainability because deep learning (DL) models are inherently black-box. To further strengthen the reliability of the models, local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) and shapley additive explanations (SHAP) explanations were projected along with narrative explanations which generated explanations in a natural language format. Thus, the research provides a significant contribution with ensemble technique of zero-shot learning and SMDBERT model with an accuracy of 0.92 as against the specialized models like scientific BERT (SCIBERT), biomedical BERT (BIOBERT) and clinical BioBERT.

Abstract

This survey article presents a critical review of the state-of-the-art transfer learning (TL) methodologies applied in the field of brain tumor classification, with a special emphasis on their various contributions and associated performance metrics. We will discuss various pre-processing approaches, the underlying fine-tuning strategies, whether used purely or in an end-to-end training manner, and multi-modal applications. The current study specifically highlights the application of VGG16 and residual network (ResNet) methods for feature extraction, demonstrating that leveraging highorder features in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images can enhance accuracy while reducing training. We further analyze fine-tuning methods in relation to their role in optimizing model layers for small, domain-specific datasets, finding them particularly effective in enhancing performance on the small brain tumor dataset. It will look into end-to-end training, which means fine-tuning models that have already been trained on large datasets to make them better. It will also present multimodal TL as a way to use both MRI and computed tomography (CT) scan data to get better classification results. Comparing different pre-trained models can provide a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses associated with the particular brain tumor classification task. This review aims to analyze the advancements in TL for medical image analysis and explore potential avenues for future research and development in this crucial field of medical diagnostics.
