1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe performance of machine learning classification methods relies heavily on the choice of features. In many domains, feature generation can be labor-intensive and require domain knowledge, and feature selection methods do not scale well in high-dimensional datasets. Deep learning has shown success in feature generation but requires large datasets to achieve high classification accuracy. Biology domains typically exhibit these challenges with numerous handcrafted features (high-dimensional) and small amounts of training data (low volume).

methodA hybrid learning approach is proposed that first trains a deep network on the training data, extracts features from the deep network, and then uses these features to re-express the data for input to a non-deep learning method, which is trained to perform the final classification.

resultsThe approach is systematically evaluated to determine the best layer of the deep learning network from which to extract features and the threshold on training data volume that prefers this approach. Results from several domains show that this hybrid approach outperforms standalone deep and non-deep learning methods, especially on low-volume, high-dimensional datasets. The diverse collection of datasets further supports the robustness of the approach across different domains.

conclusionsThe hybrid approach combines the strengths of deep and non-deep learning paradigms to achieve high performance on high-dimensional, low volume learning tasks that are typical in biology domains.
