Relation between Machine Learning and Microorganism

We all are well versed with the current epidemic of covid 19 which is resulting very fatal due to involvement of microorganism. For millions of years, we have been living with microorganisms and have faced serious consequences from time to time but this situation is getting worse as it is affecting the mass population and resulting in the death of human beings. It is a very challenging time for all of us. The only way to be safe is to create awareness among our society, especially those who are unaware of the word “microorganisms”. 

Machine Learning and Microorganism Inter-dependency

Microorganisms are of various types : 

  • Bacteria
  • Virus
  • Fungus
  • Algae

In order to sequence a particular genome we would require machine learning methods to manage increasing amounts of data while doing microbial analyses. Machine learning Algorithms can easily tackle interaction problems and help in microbial classification. Nowadays we are using Machine Learning for research, drug designing, identification of non coding RNA and disease related microRNA. 

Machine Learning may involves :

  • Statistics
  • Probability Theory
  • Estimation Theory
  • Algorithm Complexity Theory
  • Convex Analysis

Machine Learning methods are of two types:

1. Supervised Learning involves statistical classification and regression analysis.

2. UnSupervised Learning involves clustering and adopts k-means.

Procedures involved in Data Sampling :

First step is to collect genomic data of microorganisms and after the identification process a data matrix is being prepared. Secondly by clustering we can obtain an operational classification units table (OTU). Thirdly we will check the efficiency and accuracy of the dataset. Fourthly, a test set is used to evaluate the final machine learning model.

We use machine learning to study microbial disease association and analysis by proposing Human Disease Network (HSDN) in which disease and symptoms can be calculated based on the recorded PubMed bibliographic records. Similarly, the KATZ method has been used for disease gene association prediction.

Availability of Fungus in our surroundings :

Fungus usually grows in humid places such as soil, plants and decaying vegetables, fruits, anything which is moist in nature and is freely available in the form of molds and spores in our atmosphere. Usually microorganisms play an important role in maintaining the ecosystem balance by feeding on decaying matter.

Current havoc created by Fungus :

In the current context, We are dealing with Black Fungus known as Mucormycosis resulting in blurred vision, chest congestion, coughing blood and breathing difficulties especially with a weak immune system. It is commonly present in the atmosphere and we can easily inhale it with the oxygen we take but to fight against them our immune system is to be fully responsive. Fungus can easily escape our skin through cut or burn and can be fatal if left untreated. It can be cured by Antifungal drugs AMPHO B and is not contagious. It is also present in the nose and mucus so by wearing masks we can prevent this condition. The masks should be exchanged from time to time to keep yourself fit and healthy. 

Fatality Issues occured due to Infectious and Pathogenic Microorganisms :

Similar to corona virus it will affect our eyes, lungs, brain, sinuses, intestine and can be life threatening especially to diabetic, cancer and HIV/AIDS patients. The people with low immunity due to overuse of steroids are badly affected with black fungus, white fungus and yellow fungus. Steroids can reduce inflammation in the lungs by reducing immunity which triggers the infection in humans. The fungus is affecting humans due to the weak immune response of the body. They enter the body and start proliferating and develop their colonies to affect the human body organ.

Data Management of Covid-19 by applying AI and Machine Learning Algorithm

Covid-19 pandemic is a globally challenging hurdle and also very difficult for researchers to carry out the experiments which require Biosafety Level 3 Laboratories and to avoid this situation the researchers are doing their research without even using live and intact viruses . For this the researchers have chosen a transgenic mouse model for their study on SARS-Cov-2 Spike protein. In the recent studies done on mice it is revealed that the exposure of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is the only cause to induce symptoms of Covid-19 without the involvement of Covid strain itself. Virus Spike proteins combine with our cell receptors to synthesise it’s genetic materials and cause injury in the healthy lungs without the involvement of Intact virus.


AI has been used for controlling so many disease outbreaks in the past and is widely used as follows :

  • To identify disease clusters
  • For predicting future Outbreak
  • Monitoring Cases
  • Mortality rates
  • Diagnosis by Resource Management
  • Facilitate Training
  • Record Keeping
  • Pattern Recognition for Disease Study
Use of AI and Machine Learning in Covid-19 Diagnosis
Use of AI and Machine Learning in Covid-19 Diagnosis

Use of AI in Disease Forecasting:


AI is used to gather useful information through various Social Media platforms so as to create early awareness. We can easily retrieve the geographical location of any disease outbreak by using machine learning along with available data. So many Health Applications are available to track the recent spread of Covid-19


Use of AI in Disease Diagnosis :


It is widely used in quantification of chest x-rays and CT scan in Covid-19 patient. A deep learning neural network model for Covid detection has been developed for differentiating Covid from other infectious diseases. COVID-ResNet and COVID_MTNet are the two types of systems used for detection, localization and Inception of regions of interest.


AI is successful in Record Keeping :


It allows practitioners and healthcare staff to implement a digitization approach which offers efficient solutions to the patients with minimal contact to them. We can easily distinguish patients who are at higher risks on the basis of severity( mild, moderate and severe) of symptoms, clinical report. AI is used for medical consultation online in the form of chatbot in order to reduce crowds and maintain social distance so as to prevent spread of infection. Similarly machine learning is used to predict the mortality rate among patients by using prognostic algorithms. AI core robots are also used for the delivery of essential goods.


Algorithms and Programmes used to Design Drugs :


AlphaFold algorithm (ResNets) is used for detecting protein structures of SARS-CoV-2 which help in drug designing programs. BenevolentAI uses machine learning algorithms to identify potential drugs against Covid-19. Similarly, numerous AI-based methodologies like inclProject IDentif.AI, Polypharm are successfully expediting drug discovery and designing for Covid-19.


Other Models used to investigate effectiveness of drugs :


The genetically modified mice got injected with spike protein and the other set of mice was injected by saline control. It is proven that the mice injected with spike protein contain symptoms like inflammation which will damage the lung, a high white blood cell count to stimulate autoimmune response to destroy the infection caused by its own cells due to spike protein along with the virus while the mouse with saline remains normal.


The researchers are more concerned and focused on this new mouse model investigation in order to check the effectiveness of various drugs that can be used to reduce acute lung injury along with COVID-19 in a better way. The remedies to this Covid strain will only be effective if we have a vast knowledge of the mechanism of this virus.

Use of robotics and AI in space science and exploration

Digging deep down into Innovation we have accessed more advanced technologies of AI and Robotics which are being employed in space tourism.

In the near future scientists are planning to explore space by transforming heavy and large robots to small Nano-stats robots and satellites. Both humans and robots are interdependent on each other for space exploration. The first mission on Mars is to check the availability of soils, rocks and water. The first robot sent to space was launched by the USSR in 1951. In space one hour accounts for seven years on earth. It will cost $2.7 billion to $2.9 billions to send a robot to Mars. We need robots to tackle dangerous situations like lighting, toxic chemicals. India is the first country to reach Mars orbit.


NASA has used HAL/S aerospace programming language along with Python which tackle the complexity of programs.


Languages used by NASA are :

  • Python
  • Machine learning
  • linear regression
  • C/C++
  • MATLAB
  • Fortan


Along with these languages NASA also used neural networks to create a working model of the solar system. There are different sites which act like a repository for storing NASA data. In 2000 NASA and ESA sent spacecraft to Jupiter and then to Saturn in 2004. First humanoid intelligent robot was created by George Devol in 1954 which was constructed by Unimation. It was a programmable robot which is fully digitally operated


It will take nearly seven months to reach Mars. There are many robots exploring the space currently are : Dextre, Mars Orbiter Mission, Voyager 1 and 2, Cassini, Hubble Space Telescope, Rosetta, Robonaut 2, Mars Express, Dawn, Curiosity, 2001 Mars Odyssey, Opportunity, Advanced Composition Explorer, Juno, Hayabusa 2, New Horizons and many more to come.

They are the best helpers to the handicapped person and serve mankind. They also assist students in developing their knowledge by applying mechanical and electrical processes in robotics technology.
Many engineers calculate that robots are smarter than humans in varying proportions as robots are not as complex as the human brain in nature. In the near future robots will replace humans from many areas like customer service executives, data entry, proofreading and retails services etc. To be a part of robotics one should be skilled in various programming languages. Robots can carry the same tasks repeatedly without being bored. Kids have a soft corner for robots as they seem like cartoons or superheroes to them and can easily learn things in a great way without even losing interest.


Survey Statistics in Robot Automation :


As per the recent surveys, in near future robots will occupy 6% of all jobs once the job becomes automated. There is always a question that comes around -“will robots replace humans?” and the answer is no. Robots are not sufficient to teach or to guide childrens like the parents do. In the future AI can put humans at stake by bringing AI and robotics on the same node in order to build an intelligent system to make human life easier and safer. Robots are devoid of emotions like joy, irritation, fear, attraction and anger etc. but are helpful in reducing the complications and errors that occur during surgeries and operations. The Republic of Korea has been the leader of Robotics manufacturing industries since 2010 and exceeded the global average by eight folds.


Occupancy of Robots in upcoming years :


It is estimated that by 2026, the urge of robotics will increase by 6.4% and will continue further till next 20 years. If you are interested to be a part of this field then you have to opt for a bachelor’s degree in engineering. Robots are smarter than humans and can easily solve complex problems just like the brain. They can save humans by simply preventing accidents at any unavoidable circumstances like injuries or tiring while doing dangerous tasks and lifting heavy loads. Educational Robotics is also helpful to bring the students to school by engaging them in design, assembly and operations. They feel good to interact with mechanical and electrical knowledge procedures.

Is technology affecting the growing minds?

Everything comes up with certainty of advantages and disadvantages in this Universe. In a similar way technology can also have adverse effects in students’ lives resulting in impaired brain development, social isolation and disturbed sleep. Increasing use of smartphones and social media may lead to eyestrain and depression mostly in teenagers. The addiction of smartphones will restrict children and as a result they are not active in physical activities and love to spend less time playing outdoor games. The overuse of technology will start affecting a child’s brain in early developmental stages and by continuous exposure to the internet and as a result they will process multiple information at a time in an imaginary way. This addiction will lead to serious health issues sometimes. Technologies have a bad impact on environments as well by liberating harmful gases into the atmosphere.

No doubt children can easily grab things by using technologies like videos, games but lower the rates of interacting with their friends. The use of technology should be restricted to stimulate developmental processes in children’s in the following areas like communication, learning, self expression, social gatherings and motor skills. Technology is making us lazy without any physical activity and affects the prefrontal cortex of our brain which is responsible for quick decision making and for short term memory. For a developing brain maximum 2-3 hours of exposure to computers, mobiles and television is sufficient. 

Exposure of Technology on Growing Mind
Exposure of Technology on Growing Mind

As much as we share our eyes with the screen the more damage will be caused and may possess fatal discomforts like attention deficit symptoms, disrupted sleep and social isolation. If children are paying attention to the daily routine and are devoting their maximum time to physical activity rather than using mobile phones and TV the technology is not a problem at all. By doing so they will burn their calories in playing, running and hiding. Overuse of Technology sometimes leads to distraction of mind, neck pain etc. and can be responsible for a child behavior as well

It is a real fact that we can not imagine our life without technology. We use technologies that provide confidence and empower our life by its latest innovations. Technology is successfully growing in terms of the medicine and healthcare sector and well efficient in carrying life threatening operations. We are about to replace humans with robots especially in industries by using machine learning and artificial intelligence.

We can keep a track record of our health in order top reciprocate with doctors. There are so many Applications we are using nowadays to keep ourselves fit and healthy which is a good use of Technology as it is not engaging with our mindset. Five benefits of using Technologies are as follows : It saves time, easy to operate, improves learning and communication, easily accessible and cost efficient. Just with a click we can get ample information about any particular topic. Technology will allow more freedom to think in the right direction in order to exchange ideas and learn from them.
