Improved predictive personalized modelling with the use of Spiking Neural Network system and a case study on stroke occurrences data

摘要

This paper is a continuation of previous published work by the same authors on Personalized Modelling and Evolving Spiking Neural Network Reservoir architecture (PMeSNNr). The focus is on improvement of predictive modeling methods for the stroke occurrences case study utilizing an enhanced NeuCube architecture. The adaptability of the new architecture leads towards understanding feature correlations that affect the outcome of the study and extracts new knowledge from hidden patterns that reside within the associations. Through this new method, estimation of the earliest time point for stroke prediction is possible. This study also highlighted the improvement from designing a new experimental dataset compared to previous experiments. Comparative experiments were also carried out using conventional machine learning algorithms such as kNN, wkNN, SVM and MLP to prove that our approach can result in much better accuracy level.
