The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) defines Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as so: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects communication and behavior. Although autism can be diagnosed at any age, it is said to be a “developmental disorder” because symptoms generally appear in the first two years of life. Furthermore, the following symptoms are factored when making diagnosis: Difficulty with communication and interaction with other people Restricted interests and repetitive behaviors Symptoms that hurt the person’s ability to function properly in school, work, and other areas of life (Source: NIMH) This article is a comprehensive guide to the creation and usage of the Autism detection API, and a more rigorous discussion of Autism can be found at https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/autism-spectrum-disorders-asd/index.shtml The API can be divided into three sections: design Generating the appropriate machine model, and training the model on our data. This is done with learning RapidML Using the helper module, make predictions upon receiving inputs from the API’s URL, from the actual Flask API Important: Find the notebook here: https://github.com/ritabratamaiti/Autism-Detection-API/blob/master/RapidML_ASD_Prediction.ipynb (Contains data descriptions in various formats) API Demo: Visit: http://ritabratamaiti.pythonanywhere.com/query?ip=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,2,30.0,m,White-European,no,no,Ireland,no,Self,NO You will get a value of 0 on your browser, indicating that the person does not suffer from ASD. The values that are assigned to ip:(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,2,30.0,m,White-European,no,no,Ireland,no,Self,NO) indicate the various features as per . You are free to change the API parameters to explore different results. 1 = ASD present; 0 = ASD absent dataset description Application Demo: The above API can be used in a wide range of applications, ranging from web-apps, scripts, and mobile applications for ASD detection. Here, I have used the API to make an android app that gets user input, and then make predictions in the cloud, and delivers the output. You can take the app for a test run here: https://github.com/ritabratamaiti/Autism-Detection-API/tree/master/Android%20App%20Based%20on%20API About this project: I am really glad that you checked out this project. As an Artificial Intelligence researcher, it has always been my dream to apply AI and general machine learning in the field of healthcare and medicine. This is one of the several projects that I am working on currently, which explores machine learning in healthcare.
