Recent meta-learning approaches are oriented towards algorithmselection, optimization or recommendation of existing algorithms. In this article we show how data-tailored algorithms can be constructed from building blocks on small data sub-samples. Building blocks, typically weak learners, are optimized and evolved into data-tailored hierarchical ensembles. Good-performing algorithms discovered by evolutionary algorithm can be reused on data sets of comparable complexity. Furthermore, these algorithms can be scaled up to model large data sets. We demonstrate how one particular template (simple ensemble of fast sigmoidal regression models) outperforms state-of-the-art approaches on the Airline data set. Evolved hierarchical ensembles can therefore be beneficial as algorithmic building blocks in meta-learning, including meta-learning at scale.

Accurately predicting patients' risk for specific medical outcomes is paramount for effective healthcare management and personalized medicine. While a substantial body of literature addresses the prediction of diverse medical conditions, existing models predominantly focus on singular outcomes, limiting their scope to one disease at a time. However, clinical reality often entails patients concurrently facing multiple health risks across various medical domains. In response to this gap, our study proposes a novel multi-risk framework adept at simultaneous risk prediction for multiple clinical outcomes, including diabetes, mortality, and hypertension. Leveraging a concise set of features extracted from patients' cardiorespiratory fitness data, our framework minimizes computational complexity while maximizing predictive accuracy. Moreover, we integrate a state-of-the-art instance-based interpretability technique into our framework, providing users with comprehensive explanations for each prediction. These explanations afford medical practitioners invaluable insights into the primary health factors influencing individual predictions, fostering greater trust and utility in the underlying prediction models. Our approach thus stands to significantly enhance healthcare decision-making processes, facilitating more targeted interventions and improving patient outcomes in clinical practice. Our prediction framework utilizes an automated machine learning framework, Auto-Weka, to optimize machine learning models and hyper-parameter configurations for the simultaneous prediction of three medical outcomes: diabetes, mortality, and hypertension. Additionally, we employ a local interpretability technique to elucidate predictions generated by our framework. These explanations manifest visually, highlighting key attributes contributing to each instance's prediction for enhanced interpretability. Using automated machine learning techniques, the models simultaneously predict hypertensio

AutoPas is an open-source C++ library delivering optimal node-level performance by providing the ideal algorithmic configuration for an arbitrary scenario in a given short-range particle simulation. It acts as a black-box container, internally implementing an extensive set of algorithms, parallelization strategies, and optimizations that are combined dynamically according to the state of the simulation via auto-tuning. This paper gives an overview of the high-level user perspective, as well as the internal view, covering the implemented techniques and features. The library is showcased by incorporating it into the codes LAMMPS and ls1 mardyn, and by investigating various applications. We further outline node-level shared-memory performance and scalability of our auto-tuning software which is comparable to LAMMPS. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

automaticselection of the most appropriate algorithms for complex optimization problems has emerged as a cutting-edge trend in artificial intelligence. This approach circumvents the interpretability challenges posed through trial and error. A hyperheuristic and reinforcement learning-guided meta-heuristic algorithm recommendation (HHRL-MAR) is proposed to facilitate the adaptive selection of a diverse array of meta-heuristic algorithms tailored to the unique characteristics of various problems in this paper. To this end, four meta-heuristics with distinct advantages are integrated to form the action space within the reinforcement learning, serving as the low-level heuristic for hyperheuristic. The incorporated reward mechanism based on the real-time state of the population enhances both the flexibility and accuracy of the algorithm. Three selection strategies in light of simulated annealing and epsilon - greedy are designed to avoid premature convergence associated with a singular selection approach. The experimental results show the efficacy of HHRL-MAR for large-scale complex continuous optimization in terms of accuracy, stability, and convergence speed.

Background: Predictive modeling is fundamental for extracting value from large clinical data sets, or "big clinical data,"advancing clinical research, and improving healthcare. Machine learning is a powerful approach to predictive modeling. Two factors make machine learning challenging for healthcare researchers. First, before training a machine learning model, the values of one or more model parameters called hyper-parameters must typically be specified. Due to their inexperience with machine learning, it is hard for healthcare researchers to choose an appropriate algorithm and hyper-parameter values. Second, many clinical data are stored in a special format. These data must be iteratively transformed into the relational table format before conducting predictive modeling. This transformation is time-consuming and requires computing expertise. Methods: This paper presents our vision for and design of MLBCD (Machine Learning for Big Clinical Data), a new software system aiming to address these challenges and facilitate building machine learning predictive models using big clinical data. Results: The paper describes MLBCD's design in detail. Conclusions: By making machine learning accessible to healthcare researchers, MLBCD will open the use of big clinical data and increase the ability to foster biomedical discovery and improve care.

The field of automaticalgorithm design has received increasing attention in recent years. From a multitude of available algorithms, a researcher can effectively design a new one customized to his/her own problem. For this, hyper-heuristics techniques have proven to be useful. Their main objective is to search in the space of heuristics rather than in the problem solution space. The present paper proposes a hyper-heuristic for the automatic design of evolutionary algorithms supported by the use of an entropy metric. This metric is used as a trigger mechanism for switching between the algorithms components, aiding the formation of the new hybrid algorithm.

Background: Predictive modeling is fundamental to transforming large clinical data sets, or "big clinical data," into actionable knowledge for various healthcare applications. Machine learning is a major predictive modeling approach, but two barriers make its use in healthcare challenging. First, a machine learning tool user must choose an algorithm and assign one or more model parameters called hyper-parameters before model training. The algorithm and hyper-parameter values used typically impact model accuracy by over 40 %, but their selection requires many labor-intensive manual iterations that can be difficult even for computer scientists. Second, many clinical attributes are repeatedly recorded over time, requiring temporal aggregation before predictive modeling can be performed. Many labor-intensive manual iterations are required to identify a good pair of aggregation period and operator for each clinical attribute. Both barriers result in time and human resource bottlenecks, and preclude healthcare administrators and researchers from asking a series of what-if questions when probing opportunities to use predictive models to improve outcomes and reduce costs. Methods: This paper describes our design of and vision for PredicT-ML ( prediction tool using machine learning), a software system that aims to overcome these barriers and automate machine learning model building with big clinical data. Results: The paper presents the detailed design of PredicT-ML. Conclusions: PredicT-ML will open the use of big clinical data to thousands of healthcare administrators and researchers and increase the ability to advance clinical research and improve healthcare.

The C++ library AutoPas aims at delivering optimal node-level performance for particle simulations. This paper describes the internally implemented algorithms, and how the library uses auto-tuning to dynamically select their optimal combination at run-time. Results are presented, which show that all available algorithms and configuration options have their specific advantages. To demonstrate the library's capabilities in relevant application settings, it has been integrated into the software package ls1 mardyn. An example of a realistic molecular dynamics simulation from thermodynamics is shown in which AutoPas detects a change in the best possible algorithm configuration. It adapts the simulation algorithm accordingly, sustaining optimal performance without additional user input.
