Comparative study of under-expressed prognostic biomarkers and pivotal signaling pathways in colon cancer and ulcerative colitis using integrated bioinformatics approach [PDF]
Colon cancer is a prevalent gastrointestinal malignancy arising in the colon. Ulcerative colitis(UC) is one of the risk factors of colorectal cancer. The detection of under-expressed biomarkers and molecular mechanisms in UC and colon cancer can lead to effective management of colitis-associated cancer. A total of two mRNA expression datasets (GSE87473

Class Distance Weighted Cross-Entropy Loss for Ulcerative Colitis Severity Estimation [PDF]
In scoring systems used to measure the endoscopic activity of ulcerative colitis, such as Mayo endoscopic score or Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index Severity, levels increase with severity of the disease activity. Such relative ranking among the scores makes it an ordinal regression problem.
