This study evaluates the performance of various supervised machine learning models in analyzing highly correlated neural signaling data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, with a focus on predicting obsessive-compulsive disorder scales. We simulated a dataset to mimic the correlation structures commonly found in imaging data and evaluated logistic regression, elastic networks, random forests, and XGBoost on their ability to handle multicollinearity and accurately identify predictive features. Our study aims to guide the selection of appropriate machine learning methods for processing neuroimaging data, highlighting models that best capture underlying signals in high feature correlations and prioritize clinically relevant features associated with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) persists as a primary cause of death on a global scale, which requires more effective and timely detection methods. Traditional supervised learning approaches for CVD detection rely heavily on large-labeled datasets, which are often difficult to obtain. This paper employs semi-supervised learning models to boost efficiency and accuracy of CVD detection when there are few labeled samples. By leveraging both labeled and vast amounts of unlabeled data, our approach demonstrates improvements in prediction performance, while reducing the dependency on labeled data. Experimental results in a publicly available dataset show that semi-supervised models outperform traditional supervised learning techniques, providing an intriguing approach for the initial identification of cardiovascular disease within clinical environments.
