Comparative Analysis of Supervised Machine and Deep Learning Algorithms for Kyphosis Disease Detection

Abstract The spinal curve that represents an abnormally rounded back is known as kyphosis, and it can be caused by stress, infectious disease, developmental abnormalities, genetic disease, and occasionally iatrogenic disease. Due to the fact that it provides technical explanations and a significant standard, the emergence of machine learning and deep learning has demonstrated that they can better characterize data. Machine Learning and Deep Learning are promising approaches that help in the prediction, diagnosing of sickness. Compared to conventional computing algorithms, deep learning algorithms are far more effective in disease detection and diagnosing. In this study, Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Deep Neural Network (DNN) models are applied to detect the presence of kyphosis in youngsters supported medicine information and compared to point out the rise in the potency of predictions associated with kyphosis. Each classification algorithm that makes use of the hyperparameter tuning and control feature enhances the algorithms' overall prediction performance, which enhances the algorithms' overall performance. The potency of the planned models were enforced and checked over medical dataset utilized from Kaggle. Overall, the DNN model performed best among the wide range of different models and achieved maximum accuracy and other performance metrics scores derived from the stratified K-Fold cross-validation. It is advised that after a patient has completed a clinical procedure, the DNN model be trained to identify and forecast kyphosis disease.
