DeepSide A Deep Learning Framework for

Drug Side Effect Prediction

ABSTRACT

Drug failures due to unforeseen adverse effects at clinical trials pose

health risks for the participants and lead to substantial financial losses.
Side effect prediction algorithms have the potential to guide the drug
design process. LINCS L1000 dataset provides a vast resource of cell line
gene expression data perturbed by different drugs and creates a knowledge
base for context specific features. The state-of-the-art approach that aims
at using context specific information relies on only the high quality
experiments in LINCS L1000 and discards a large portion of the
experiments. In this study, our goal is to boost the prediction performance
by utilizing this data to its full extent. We experiment with 5 deep learning
architectures. We find that a multi-modal architecture produces the best
predictive performance among multi-layer perceptron-based architectures
when drug chemical structure (CS), and the full set of drug perturbed gene
expression profiles (GEX) are used as modalities. Overall, we observe that
the CS is more informative than the GEX. A convolutional neural
network-based model that uses only SMILES string representation of the
drugs achieves the best results and provides 13:0% macro-AUC and 3:1%
micro-AUC improvements over the state-of-the-art. We also show that the
model is able to predict side effect-drug pairs that are reported in the
literature but was missing in the ground truth side effect dataset.

EXISTING
SYSTEM

A drug-drug interaction (DDI) is defined as an association between two

drugs where the pharmacological effects of a drug are influenced by
another drug. Positive DDIs can usually improve the therapeutic effects of
patients, but negative DDIs cause the major cause of adverse drug
reactions and even result in the drug withdrawal from the market and the
patient death. Therefore, identifying DDIs has become a key component of
the drug development and disease treatment.

In this study, an existing system, develops a method to predict DDIs based

on the integrated similarity and semi-supervised learning (DDI-IS-SL).
DDI-IS-SL integrates the drug chemical, biological and phenotype data to
calculate the feature similarity of drugs with the cosine similarity method.
The Gaussian Interaction Profile kernel similarity of drugs is also
calculated based on known DDIs. A semi-supervised learning method (the
Regularized Least Squares classifier) is used to calculate the interaction
possibility scores of drug-drug pairs. In terms of the 5-fold cross
validation, 10-fold cross validation and de novo drug validation, DDI-IS-
SL can achieve the better prediction performance than other comparative
methods. In addition, the average computation time of DDI-IS-SL is
shorter than that of other comparative methods. Finally, case studies
further demonstrate the performance of DDI-IS-SL in practical
applications.

Disadvantages
• The complexity of data: Most of the existing machine learning models
must be able to accurately interpret large and complex datasets to detect an
accurate Drug Side Effect.
• Data availability: Most machine learning models require large amounts
of data to create accurate predictions. If data is unavailable in sufficient
quantities, then model accuracy may suffer.
• Incorrect labeling: The existing machine learning models are only as
accurate as the data trained using the input dataset. If the data has been
incorrectly labeled, the model cannot make accurate predictions.

Proposed System

Multi-layer perceptron (MLP) Our MLP [22] model takes the

concatenation of all input vectors and applies a series of fully-connected
(FC) layers. Each FC layer is followed by a batch normalization layer
[10]. We use ReLU activation [16], and dropout regularization [27] with a
drop probability of 0:2. The sigmoid activation function is applied to the
final layer outputs, which yields the ADR prediction probabilities. The
loss function is defined as the sum of negative log- probabilities over ADR
classes, i.e. the multi-label binary cross-entropy loss (BCE). An
illustration of the architecture for CS and GEX features is given in this
system.
Residual multi-layer perceptron (ResMLP) The residual multi-layer
perceptron (ResMLP) architecture is very similar to MLP, except that it
uses residual-connections across the fully- connected layers. More
specifically, the input of each intermediate layer is element-wise added to
its output, before getting processed by the next layer. Such residual
connections have been shown to reduce the vanishing gradient problem to
a large extend [7].

This effectively allows deeper architectures, therefore, potentially learning

more complex and parameter-efficient feature extractors. Multi-modal
neural networks (MMNN) The multi-modal neural network approach
contains distinct MLP sub-networks where each one extract features from
one data modality only. The outputs of these sub-networks are then fused
and fed to the classification block. For feature fusion, we consider two
strategies: concatenation and summation. While the former one
concatenates the domain-specific feature vectors to a larger one, the latter
one performs element-wise summation. By definition, for summation
based fusion, the domain-specific feature extraction sub-networks have to
be designed to produce vectors of equivalent sizes. We refer to the
concatenation and summation based MMNN networks as MMNN.Concat
and MMNN.Sum, respectively.

Multi-task neural network (MTNN) our multitask learning (MTL) based

architecture aims to take the side effect groups obtained from the
taxonomy of ADReCS into account. For this purpose, the approach
defines shared and task-specific MLP sub-network blocks. The shared
block takes the concatenation of GEX and CS features as input and
outputs a joint embedding. Each task-specific sub-network then converts
the joint embedding into a vector of binary prediction scores for a set of
inter-related side-effect classes.

Advantages

 The proposed system implemented many ml classifies for testing and

training on datasets.

(CNN) which are known to provide a powerful way of automatically

SYSTEM STUDY FEASIBILITY STUDY

The feasibility of the project is analyzed in this phase and business

proposal is put forth with a very general plan for the project and some cost
estimates. During system analysis the feasibility study of the proposed
system is to be carried out. This is to ensure that the proposed system is
not a burden to the company. For feasibility analysis, some understanding
of the major requirements for the system is essential.

Three key considerations involved in the feasibility analysis are

  ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY
 TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
 SOCIAL FEASIBILITY

ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY

This study is carried out to check the economic impact that the system will
have on the organization. The amount of fund that the company can pour
into the research and development of the system is limited. The
expenditures must be justified. Thus the developed system as well within
the budget and this was achieved because most of the technologies used
are freely available. Only the customized products had to be purchased.

TECHNICAL FEASIBILI

This study is carried out to check the technical feasibility, that is, the
technical requirements of the system. Any system developed must not
have a high demand on the available technical resources. This will lead to
high demands on the available technical resources. This will lead to high
demands being placed on the client. The developed system must have a
modest requirement, as only minimal or null changes are required for
implementing this system.

SOCIAL FEASIBILITY

The aspect of study is to check the level of acceptance of the system by

the user. This includes the process of training the user to use the system
efficiently. The user must not feel threatened by the system, instead must
accept it as a necessity. The level of acceptance by the users solely
depends on the methods that are employed to educate the user about the
system and to make him familiar with it. His level of confidence must be
raised so that he is also able to make some constructive criticism, which is
welcomed, as he is the final user of the system.
4. SYSTEM DESIGN :

4.1 .UML DIAGRAM’S :

UML stands for Unified Modeling Language. UML is a standardized

general-purpose modeling language in the field of object-oriented software
engineering. The standard is managed, and was created by, the Object
Management Group.

The goal is for UML to become a common language for creating models
of object oriented computer software. In its current form UML is
comprised of two major components: a Meta-model and a notation. In the
future, some form of method or process may also be added to; or
associated with, UML.

The Unified Modeling Language is a standard language for specifying,

Visualization, Constructing and documenting the artifacts of software
system, as well as for business modeling and other non-software systems.

The UML represents a collection of best engineering practices that have

proven successful in the modeling of large and complex systems.

The UML is a very important part of developing objects oriented software

and the software development process. The UML uses mostly graphical
notations to express the design of software projects.
GOALS:

The Primary goals in the design of the UML are as follows:

1. Provide users a ready-to-use, expressive visual modeling Language so
that they can develop and exchange meaningful models.
2. Provide extendibility and specialization mechanisms to extend the core
concepts.
3. Be independent of particular programming languages and development
process.
4. Provide a formal basis for understanding the modeling language.
5. Encourage the growth of OO tools market.
6. Support higher level development concepts such as collaborations,
frameworks, patterns and components.
7. Integrate best practices.
USE CASE DIAGRAM:
A use case diagram in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a type of
behavioral diagram defined by and created from a Use-case analysis. Its
purpose is to present a graphical overview of the functionality provided by
a system in terms of actors, their goals (represented as use cases), and any
dependencies between those use cases. The main purpose of a use case
diagram is to show what system functions are performed for which actor.
Roles of the actors in the system can be depicted.

SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT :

What is Python :

Below are some facts about Python.

Python is currently the most widely used multi-purpose, high-level

programming language.

Python allows programming in Object-Oriented and Procedural

paradigms. Python programs generally are smaller than other
programming languages like Java.
 Programmers have to type relatively less and indentation
requirement of the language, makes them readable all the time.
Python language is being used by almost all tech-giant companies
like – Google, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Uber…
etc.
The biggest strength of Python is huge collection of standard
library which can be used for the following –
 Machine Learning
 GUI Applications (like Kivy, Tkinter, PyQt etc. )
 Web frameworks like Django (used by YouTube, Instagram, Dropbox)
 Image processing (like Opencv, Pillow)
 Web scraping (like Scrapy, BeautifulSoup, Selenium)
 Test frameworks
 Multimedia

Advantages of Python :-
Let’s see how Python dominates over other languages.

1. Extensive Libraries
Python downloads with an extensive library and it contain code for
various purposes like regular expressions, documentation-generation,
 unit-testing, web browsers, threading, databases, CGI, email, image
manipulation, and more. So, we don’t have to write the complete code
for that manually.
2. Extensible
As we have seen earlier, Python can be extended to other languages.
You can write some of your code in languages like C++ or C. This
comes in handy, especially in projects.

3. Embeddable
Complimentary to extensibility, Python is embeddable as well. You can
put your Python code in your source code of a different language, like
C++. This lets us add scripting capabilities to our code in the other
language.

4. Improved Productivity
The language’s simplicity and extensive libraries render
programmers more productive than languages like Java and C++ do.
Also, the fact that you need to write less and get more things done.

5. IOT Opportunities
Since Python forms the basis of new platforms like Raspberry Pi, it
finds the future bright for the Internet Of Things. This is a way to
connect the language with the real world.

When working with Java, you may have to create a class to

print ‘Hello World’. But in Python, just a print statement will do. It is
also quite easy to learn, understand, and code. This is why when
 people pick up Python, they have a hard time adjusting to other more
verbose languages like Java.

7. Readable
Because it is not such a verbose language, reading Python is much like
reading English. This is the reason why it is so easy to learn,
understand, and code. It also does not need curly braces to define
blocks, and indentation is mandatory. This further aids the
readability of the code.

8. Object-Oriented
This language supports both the procedural and object-
oriented programming paradigms. While functions help us with code
reusability, classes and objects let us model the real world. A class
allows the encapsulation of data and functions into one.

9. Free and Open-Source

Like we said earlier, Python is freely available. But not only can
you download Python for free, but you can also download its source
code, make changes to it, and even distribute it. It downloads with an
extensive collection of libraries to help you with your tasks.

10. Portable
When you code your project in a language like C++, you may need to
make some changes to it if you want to run it on another platform. But
it isn’t the same with Python. Here, you need to code only once, and
you can run it anywhere. This is called Write Once Run Anywhere
(WORA). However, you need to be careful enough not to include any
system-dependent features.
11. Interpreted
Lastly, we will say that it is an interpreted language. Since statements
are executed one by one, debugging is easier than in compiled
languages.
Any doubts till now in the advantages of Python? Mention in the
comment section.

Advantages of Python Over Other Languages :

1. Less Coding
Almost all of the tasks done in Python requires less coding when the
same task is done in other languages. Python also has an awesome
standard library support, so you don’t have to search for any third-
party libraries to get your job done. This is the reason that many
people suggest learning Python to beginners.

2. Affordable
Python is free therefore individuals, small companies or big
organizations can leverage the free available resources to build
 applications. Python is popular and widely used so it gives you better
community support.

The 2019 Github annual survey showed us that Python has

overtaken Java in the most popular programming language
category.

3. Python is for Everyone

Python code can run on any machine whether it is Linux, Mac or
Windows. Programmers need to learn different languages for different
jobs but with Python, you can professionally build web apps, perform
data analysis and machine learning, automate things, do web scraping
and also build games and powerful visualizations. It is an all-rounder
programming language.

Disadvantages of Python
So far, we’ve seen why Python is a great choice for your project. But if
you choose it, you should be aware of its consequences as well. Let’s
now see the downsides of choosing Python over another language.

1. Speed Limitations

We have seen that Python code is executed line by line. But

since Python is interpreted, it often results in slow execution. This,
however, isn’t a problem unless speed is a focal point for the project. In
other words, unless high speed is a requirement, the benefits offered by
Python are enough to distract us from its speed limitations.
2. Weak in Mobile Computing and Browsers

While it serves as an excellent server-side language, Python is much

rarely seen on the client-side. Besides that, it is rarely ever used to
implement smartphone-based applications. One such application is
called Carbonnelle.
The reason it is not so famous despite the existence of Brython is that it
isn’t that secure.

3. Design Restrictions

As you know, Python is dynamically-typed. This means that you don’t

need to declare the type of variable while writing the code. It
uses duck-typing. But wait, what’s that? Well, it just means that if it
looks like a duck, it must be a duck. While this is easy on the
programmers during coding, it can raise run-time errors.

4. Underdeveloped Database Access Layers

Compared to more widely used technologies like JDBC (Java

DataBase Connectivity) and ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity),
Python’s database access layers are a bit underdeveloped.
Consequently, it is less often applied in huge enterprises.

5. Simple

No, we’re not kidding. Python’s simplicity can indeed be a problem.

Take my example. I don’t do Java, I’m more of a Python person. To
me, its syntax is so simple that the verbosity of Java code seems
unnecessary.
 This was all about the Advantages and Disadvantages of Python
Programming Language.

History of Python : -

What do the alphabet and the programming language Python have in

common? Right, both start with ABC. If we are talking about ABC in
the Python context, it's clear that the programming language ABC is
meant. ABC is a general-purpose programming language and
programming environment, which had been developed in the
Netherlands, Amsterdam, at the CWI (Centrum Wiskunde
&Informatica). The greatest achievement of ABC was to influence the
design of Python.Python was conceptualized in the late 1980s. Guido
van Rossum worked that time in a project at the CWI, called Amoeba,
a distributed operating system. In an interview with Bill Venners 1,
Guido van Rossum said: "In the early 1980s, I worked as an
implementer on a team building a language called ABC at Centrum
voor Wiskunde en Informatica (CWI). I don't know how well people
know ABC's influence on Python. I try to mention ABC's influence
because I'm indebted to everything I learned during that project and to
the people who worked on it."Later on in the same Interview, Guido
van Rossum continued: "I remembered all my experience and some of
 my frustration with ABC. I decided to try to design a simple scripting
language that possessed some of ABC's better properties, but without
its problems. So I started typing. I created a simple virtual machine, a
simple parser, and a simple runtime. I made my own version of the
various ABC parts that I liked. I created a basic syntax, used
indentation for statement grouping instead of curly braces or begin-end
blocks, and developed a small number of powerful data types: a hash
table (or dictionary, as we call it), a list, strings, and numbers."

What is Machine Learning : -

Before we take a look at the details of various machine learning

methods, let's start by looking at what machine learning is, and what it
isn't. Machine learning is often categorized as a subfield of artificial
intelligence, but I find that categorization can often be misleading at
first brush. The study of machine learning certainly arose from research
in this context, but in the data science application of machine learning
methods, it's more helpful to think of machine learning as a means
of building models of data.
 Fundamentally, machine learning involves building mathematical
models to help understand data. "Learning" enters the fray when we
give these models tunable parameters that can be adapted to observed
data; in this way the program can be considered to be "learning" from
the data. Once these models have been fit to previously seen data, they
can be used to predict and understand aspects of newly observed data.
I'll leave to the reader the more philosophical digression regarding the
extent to which this type of mathematical, model-based "learning" is
similar to the "learning" exhibited by the human brain.Understanding
the problem setting in machine learning is essential to using these tools
effectively, and so we will start with some broad categorizations of the
types of approaches we'll discuss here.

Categories Of Machine Leaning :-

At the most fundamental level, machine learning can be categorized

into two main types: supervised learning and unsupervised learning.

Supervised learning involves somehow modeling the relationship

between measured features of data and some label associated with the
data; once this model is determined, it can be used to apply labels to
new, unknown data. This is further subdivided into classification tasks
and regression tasks: in classification, the labels are discrete categories,
while in regression, the labels are continuous quantities. We will see
examples of both types of supervised learning in the following section.

Unsupervised learning involves modeling the features of a dataset

without reference to any label, and is often described as "letting the
 dataset speak for itself." These models include tasks such
as clustering and dimensionality reduction. Clustering algorithms
identify distinct groups of data, while dimensionality reduction
algorithms search for more succinct representations of the data. We
will see examples of both types of unsupervised learning in the
following section.

Need for Machine Learning

Human beings, at this moment, are the most intelligent and advanced
species on earth because they can think, evaluate and solve complex
problems. On the other side, AI is still in its initial stage and haven’t
surpassed human intelligence in many aspects. Then the question is that
what is the need to make machine learn? The most suitable reason for
doing this is, “to make decisions, based on data, with efficiency and
scale”.

Lately, organizations are investing heavily in newer technologies like

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning to get the
key information from data to perform several real-world tasks and
solve problems. We can call it data-driven decisions taken by
machines, particularly to automate the process. These data-driven
decisions can be used, instead of using programing logic, in the
problems that cannot be programmed inherently. The fact is that we
can’t do without human intelligence, but other aspect is that we all need
to solve real-world problems with efficiency at a huge scale. That is
why the need for machine learning arises.
Challenges in Machines Learning :-

While Machine Learning is rapidly evolving, making significant strides

with cybersecurity and autonomous cars, this segment of AI as whole
still has a long way to go. The reason behind is that ML has not been
able to overcome number of challenges. The challenges that ML is
facing currently are −

Quality of data − Having good-quality data for ML algorithms is one

of the biggest challenges. Use of low-quality data leads to the problems
related to data preprocessing and feature extraction.

Time-Consuming task − Another challenge faced by ML models is

the consumption of time especially for data acquisition, feature
extraction and retrieval.

Lack of specialist persons − As ML technology is still in its infancy

stage, availability of expert resources is a tough job.

No clear objective for formulating business problems − Having no

clear objective and well-defined goal for business problems is another
key challenge for ML because this technology is not that mature yet.

Issue of overfitting & underfitting − If the model is overfitting or

underfitting, it cannot be represented well for the problem.

Curse of dimensionality − Another challenge ML model faces is too

many features of data points. This can be a real hindrance.
 Difficulty in deployment − Complexity of the ML model makes it
quite difficult to be deployed in real life.

Applications of Machines Learning :-

Machine Learning is the most rapidly growing technology and

according to researchers we are in the golden year of AI and ML. It is
used to solve many real-world complex problems which cannot be
solved with traditional approach. Following are some real-world
applications of ML −

 Emotion analysis
 Sentiment analysis
 Error detection and prevention
 Weather forecasting and prediction
 Stock market analysis and forecasting
 Speech synthesis
 Speech recognition
 Customer segmentation
 Object recognition
 Fraud detection
 Fraud prevention
 Recommendation of products to customer in online shopping

How to Start Learning Machine Learning?

Arthur Samuel coined the term “Machine Learning” in 1959 and

defined it as a “Field of study that gives computers the capability to
learn without being explicitly programmed”.
And that was the beginning of Machine Learning! In modern times,
Machine Learning is one of the most popular (if not the most!) career
choices. According to Indeed, Machine Learning Engineer Is The Best
Job of 2019 with a 344% growth and an average base salary
of $146,085 per year.
But there is still a lot of doubt about what exactly is Machine Learning
and how to start learning it? So this article deals with the Basics of
Machine Learning and also the path you can follow to eventually
become a full-fledged Machine Learning Engineer. Now let’s get
started!!!

How to start learning ML?

This is a rough roadmap you can follow on your way to becoming an

insanely talented Machine Learning Engineer. Of course, you can
always modify the steps according to your needs to reach your desired
end-goal!

Step 1 – Understand the Prerequisites

In case you are a genius, you could start ML directly but normally, there
are some prerequisites that you need to know which include Linear
Algebra, Multivariate Calculus, Statistics, and Python. And if you don’t
know these, never fear! You don’t need a Ph.D. degree in these topics to
get started but you do need a basic understanding.

(a) Learn Linear Algebra and Multivariate Calculus

Both Linear Algebra and Multivariate Calculus are important in

Machine Learning. However, the extent to which you need them
depends on your role as a data scientist. If you are more focused on
application heavy machine learning, then you will not be that heavily
focused on maths as there are many common libraries available. But if
you want to focus on R&D in Machine Learning, then mastery of Linear
Algebra and Multivariate Calculus is very important as you will have to
implement many ML algorithms from scratch.

(b) Learn Statistics

Data plays a huge role in Machine Learning. In fact, around 80% of

your time as an ML expert will be spent collecting and cleaning data.
And statistics is a field that handles the collection, analysis, and
presentation of data. So it is no surprise that you need to learn it!!!
Some of the key concepts in statistics that are important are Statistical
Significance, Probability Distributions, Hypothesis Testing, Regression,
etc. Also, Bayesian Thinking is also a very important part of ML which
deals with various concepts like Conditional Probability, Priors, and
Posteriors, Maximum Likelihood, etc.

(c) Learn Python

Some people prefer to skip Linear Algebra, Multivariate Calculus and

Statistics and learn them as they go along with trial and error. But the
one thing that you absolutely cannot skip is Python! While there are
other languages you can use for Machine Learning like R, Scala, etc.
Python is currently the most popular language for ML. In fact, there are
many Python libraries that are specifically useful for Artificial
 Intelligence and Machine Learning such as Keras, TensorFlow, Scikit-
learn, etc.
So if you want to learn ML, it’s best if you learn Python! You can do
that using various online resources and courses such as Fork
Python available Free on GeeksforGeeks.

Step 2 – Learn Various ML Concepts

Now that you are done with the prerequisites, you can move on to
actually learning ML (Which is the fun part!!!) It’s best to start with the
basics and then move on to the more complicated stuff. Some of the
basic concepts in ML are:

(a) Terminologies of Machine Learning

 Model – A model is a specific representation learned from data by

applying some machine learning algorithm. A model is also called a
hypothesis.
 Feature – A feature is an individual measurable property of the data. A
set of numeric features can be conveniently described by a feature
vector. Feature vectors are fed as input to the model. For example, in
order to predict a fruit, there may be features like color, smell, taste, etc.
 Target (Label) – A target variable or label is the value to be predicted
by our model. For the fruit example discussed in the feature section, the
label with each set of input would be the name of the fruit like apple,
orange, banana, etc.
 Training – The idea is to give a set of inputs(features) and it’s expected
outputs(labels), so after training, we will have a model (hypothesis) that
will then map new data to one of the categories trained on.
 Prediction – Once our model is ready, it can be fed a set of inputs to
which it will provide a predicted output(label).

(b) Types of Machine Learning

 Supervised Learning – This involves learning from a training dataset

with labeled data using classification and regression models. This
learning process continues until the required level of performance is
achieved.
 Unsupervised Learning – This involves using unlabelled data and then
finding the underlying structure in the data in order to learn more and
more about the data itself using factor and cluster analysis models.
 Semi-supervised Learning – This involves using unlabelled data like
Unsupervised Learning with a small amount of labeled data. Using
labeled data vastly increases the learning accuracy and is also more cost-
effective than Supervised Learning.
 Reinforcement Learning – This involves learning optimal actions
through trial and error. So the next action is decided by learning
behaviors that are based on the current state and that will maximize the
reward in the future.
Advantages of Machine learning :-

1. Easily identifies trends and patterns -

Machine Learning can review large volumes of data and discover specific
trends and patterns that would not be apparent to humans. For instance,
for an e-commerce website like Amazon, it serves to understand the
browsing behaviors and purchase histories of its users to help cater to the
right products, deals, and reminders relevant to them. It uses the results to
reveal relevant advertisements to them.
2. No human intervention needed (automation)

With ML, you don’t need to babysit your project every step of the way.
Since it means giving machines the ability to learn, it lets them make
predictions and also improve the algorithms on their own. A common
example of this is anti-virus softwares; they learn to filter new threats as
they are recognized. ML is also good at recognizing spam.
3. Continuous Improvement

As ML algorithms gain experience, they keep improving in accuracy

and efficiency. This lets them make better decisions. Say you need to
make a weather forecast model. As the amount of data you have keeps
growing, your algorithms learn to make more accurate predictions faster.
4. Handling multi-dimensional and multi-variety data

Machine Learning algorithms are good at handling data that are multi-
dimensional and multi-variety, and they can do this in dynamic or
uncertain environments.
5. Wide Applications

You could be an e-tailer or a healthcare provider and make ML work for

you. Where it does apply, it holds the capability to help deliver a much
more personal experience to customers while also targeting the right
customers.
Disadvantages of Machine Learning :-

1. Data Acquisition

Machine Learning requires massive data sets to train on, and these should
be inclusive/unbiased, and of good quality. There can also be times where
they must wait for new data to be generated.
2. Time and Resources

ML needs enough time to let the algorithms learn and develop enough to
fulfill their purpose with a considerable amount of accuracy and
relevancy. It also needs massive resources to function. This can mean
additional requirements of computer power for you.

3. Interpretation of Results

Another major challenge is the ability to accurately interpret results

generated by the algorithms. You must also carefully choose the
algorithms for your purpose.
4. High error-susceptibility

Machine Learning is autonomous but highly susceptible to errors.

Suppose you train an algorithm with data sets small enough to not be
inclusive. You end up with biased predictions coming from a biased
 training set. This leads to irrelevant advertisements being displayed to
customers. In the case of ML, such blunders can set off a chain of errors
that can go undetected for long periods of time. And when they do get
noticed, it takes quite some time to recognize the source of the issue, and
even longer to correct it.

Python Development Steps : -

Guido Van Rossum published the first version of Python code (version
0.9.0) at alt.sources in February 1991. This release included already
exception handling, functions, and the core data types of list, dict, str and
others. It was also object oriented and had a module system.
Python version 1.0 was released in January 1994. The major new
features included in this release were the functional programming tools
lambda, map, filter and reduce, which Guido Van Rossum never
liked.Six and a half years later in October 2000, Python 2.0 was
introduced. This release included list comprehensions, a full garbage
collector and it was supporting unicode.Python flourished for another 8
years in the versions 2.x before the next major release as Python 3.0
(also known as "Python 3000" and "Py3K") was released. Python 3 is
not backwards compatible with Python 2.x. The emphasis in Python 3
had been on the removal of duplicate programming constructs and
modules, thus fulfilling or coming close to fulfilling the 13th law of the
Zen of Python: "There should be one -- and preferably only one --
obvious way to do it."Some changes in Python 7.3:

 Print is now a function

 Views and iterators instead of lists
 The rules for ordering comparisons have been simplified. E.g. a
heterogeneous list cannot be sorted, because all the elements of a list
must be comparable to each other.
 There is only one integer type left, i.e. int. long is int as well.
 The division of two integers returns a float instead of an integer. "//"
can be used to have the "old" behaviour.
 Text Vs. Data Instead Of Unicode Vs. 8-bit

Purpose :-
We demonstrated that our approach enables successful segmentation of
intra-retinal layers—even with low-quality images containing speckle
noise, low contrast, and different intensity ranges throughout—with the
assistance of the ANIS feature.
Python

Python is an interpreted high-level programming language for general-

purpose programming. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released
in 1991, Python has a design philosophy that emphasizes code
readability, notably using significant whitespace.

Python features a dynamic type system and automatic memory

management. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including
object-oriented, imperative, functional and procedural, and has a large
and comprehensive standard library.
 Python is Interpreted − Python is processed at runtime by the interpreter.
You do not need to compile your program before executing it. This is
similar to PERL and PHP.
 Python is Interactive − you can actually sit at a Python prompt and
interact with the interpreter directly to write your programs.
Python also acknowledges that speed of development is important.
Readable and terse code is part of this, and so is access to powerful
constructs that avoid tedious repetition of code. Maintainability also
ties into this may be an all but useless metric, but it does say something
about how much code you have to scan, read and/or understand to
troubleshoot problems or tweak behaviors. This speed of development,
the ease with which a programmer of other languages can pick up basic
Python skills and the huge standard library is key to another area where
Python excels. All its tools have been quick to implement, saved a lot
of time, and several of them have later been patched and updated by
people with no Python background - without breaking.

Modules Used in Project :-

Tensorflow

TensorFlow is a free and open-source software library for dataflow and

differentiable programming across a range of tasks. It is a symbolic
math library, and is also used for machine learning applications such
as neural networks. It is used for both research and production
at Google.‍
 TensorFlow was developed by the Google Brain team for internal
Google use. It was released under the Apache 2.0 open-source
license on November 9, 2015.

Numpy

Numpy is a general-purpose array-processing package. It provides a

high-performance multidimensional array object, and tools for working
with these arrays.

It is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python. It

contains various features including these important ones:

 A powerful N-dimensional array object

 Sophisticated (broadcasting) functions
 Tools for integrating C/C++ and Fortran code
 Useful linear algebra, Fourier transform, and random number
capabilities
Besides its obvious scientific uses, Numpy can also be used as an
efficient multi-dimensional container of generic data. Arbitrary data-
types can be defined using Numpy which allows Numpy to seamlessly
and speedily integrate with a wide variety of databases.

Pandas

Pandas is an open-source Python Library providing high-performance

data manipulation and analysis tool using its powerful data structures.
Python was majorly used for data munging and preparation. It had very
little contribution towards data analysis. Pandas solved this problem.
Using Pandas, we can accomplish five typical steps in the processing
and analysis of data, regardless of the origin of data load, prepare,
manipulate, model, and analyze. Python with Pandas is used in a wide
range of fields including academic and commercial domains including
finance, economics, Statistics, analytics, etc.

Matplotlib

Matplotlib is a Python 2D plotting library which produces publication

quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and interactive
environments across platforms. Matplotlib can be used in Python
scripts, the Python and IPython shells, the Jupyter Notebook, web
application servers, and four graphical user interface toolkits.
Matplotlib tries to make easy things easy and hard things possible. You
can generate plots, histograms, power spectra, bar charts, error charts,
scatter plots, etc., with just a few lines of code. For examples, see
the sample plots and thumbnail gallery.

For simple plotting the pyplot module provides a MATLAB-like

interface, particularly when combined with IPython. For the power
user, you have full control of line styles, font properties, axes
properties, etc, via an object oriented interface or via a set of functions
familiar to MATLAB users.

Scikit – learn

Scikit-learn provides a range of supervised and unsupervised learning

algorithms via a consistent interface in Python. It is licensed under a
permissive simplified BSD license and is distributed under many Linux
distributions, encouraging academic and commercial use. Python

SYSTEM TEST :
The purpose of testing is to discover errors. Testing is the process of trying
to discover every conceivable fault or weakness in a work product. It
provides a way to check the functionality of components, sub assemblies,
assemblies and/or a finished product It is the process of exercising
software with the intent of ensuring that the Software system meets its
requirements and user expectations and does not fail in an unacceptable
manner. There are various types of test. Each test type addresses a specific
testing requirement.

TYPES OF TESTS
Unit testing :
Unit testing involves the design of test cases that validate that the internal
program logic is functioning properly, and that program inputs produce
valid outputs. All decision branches and internal code flow should be
validated. It is the testing of individual software units of the application .it
is done after the completion of an individual unit before integration. This
is a structural testing, that relies on knowledge of its construction and is
invasive. Unit tests perform basic tests at component level and test a
specific business process, application, and/or system configuration. Unit
tests ensure that each unique path of a business process performs
accurately to the documented specifications and contains clearly defined
inputs and expected results.
Integration testing
Integration tests are designed to test integrated software
components to determine if they actually run as one program. Testing is
event driven and is more concerned with the basic outcome of screens or
fields. Integration tests demonstrate that although the components were
individually satisfaction, as shown by successfully unit testing, the
combination of components is correct and consistent. Integration testing is
specifically aimed at exposing the problems that arise from the
combination of components.

Functional test
Functional tests provide systematic demonstrations that
functions tested are available as specified by the business and technical
requirements, system documentation, and user manuals.
Functional testing is centered on the following items:
Valid Input : identified classes of valid input must be
accepted.
Invalid Input : identified classes of invalid input must be
rejected.
Functions : identified functions must be exercised.
Output : identified classes of application outputs must be
exercised.
Systems/Procedures : interfacing systems or procedures must be
invoked.
Organization and preparation of functional tests is focused
on requirements, key functions, or special test cases. In addition,
systematic coverage pertaining to identify Business process flows; data
fields, predefined processes, and successive processes must be considered
for testing. Before functional testing is complete, additional tests are
identified and the effective value of current tests is determined.
System Test
System testing ensures that the entire integrated software
system meets requirements. It tests a configuration to ensure known and
predictable results. An example of system testing is the configuration
oriented system integration test. System testing is based on process
descriptions and flows, emphasizing pre-driven process links and
integration points.
White Box Testing
White Box Testing is a testing in which in which the
software tester has knowledge of the inner workings, structure and
language of the software, or at least its purpose. It is purpose. It is used to
test areas that cannot be reached from a black box level.

Black Box Testing

Black Box Testing is testing the software without any
knowledge of the inner workings, structure or language of the module
being tested. Black box tests, as most other kinds of tests, must be written
from a definitive source document, such as specification or requirements
document, such as specification or requirements document. It is a testing
in which the software under test is treated, as a black box .you cannot
“see” into it. The test provides inputs and responds to outputs without
considering how the software works.

Unit Testing
 Unit testing is usually conducted as part of a combined
code and unit test phase of the software lifecycle, although it is not
uncommon for coding and unit testing to be conducted as two distinct
phases.
Test strategy and approach
Field testing will be performed manually and functional
tests will be written in detail.
Test objectives
 All field entries must work properly.
 Pages must be activated from the identified link.
 The entry screen, messages and responses must not be delayed.

Features to be tested
 Verify that the entries are of the correct format
 No duplicate entries should be allowed
 All links should take the user to the correct page.

Integration Testing

Software integration testing is the incremental integration

testing of two or more integrated software components on a single
platform to produce failures caused by interface defects.
The task of the integration test is to check that components or software
applications, e.g. components in a software system or – one step up –
software applications at the company level – interact without error.
Test Results: All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No
defects encountered.
Acceptance Testing
User Acceptance Testing is a critical phase of any project and requires
significant participation by the end user. It also ensures that the system
meets the functional requirements.
Test Results: All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No
defects encountered.
