Early Prediction of Diabetes using ML Algorithms

A project on predicting diabetes using machine learning.

This project focuses on using multiple machine learning algorithms for the **early prediction of diabetes** based on various medical parameters. The implementation leverages **ensemble learning techniques** to improve accuracy and robustness in predictions. Read the full paper here.

Project Features:

• Uses **Ensemble Learning** (Random Forest, AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting) for better accuracy
• Analyzes medical parameters like glucose level, BMI, insulin, age, etc.
• Handles missing data using imputation techniques
• Performs feature selection to remove irrelevant attributes
• Deployable as a **web application** for real-time diabetes prediction

Technology Stack:

• Python with Pandas, NumPy for data preprocessing
• Scikit-Learn for implementing ML models
• XGBoost & Random Forest for ensemble learning
• Flask/Django for backend API
• Matplotlib & Seaborn for visualizing data insights

Ensemble Learning Approach:

Instead of relying on a single ML model, this project utilizes **ensemble learning** to combine multiple models and improve predictive accuracy.

• Random Forest: Uses multiple decision trees to reduce overfitting
• Gradient Boosting: Builds models sequentially to minimize errors
• AdaBoost: Adjusts weak learners to create a strong classifier

Challenges & Solutions:

Handling imbalanced data, missing values, and feature selection were major challenges. These were addressed using **SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique)** for balancing the dataset and **recursive feature elimination** for selecting the most important medical parameters.

Applications:

• Early-stage diabetes detection to assist healthcare professionals
• Preventive healthcare by analyzing risk factors
• Integration with wearable devices for real-time monitoring
• Web-based and mobile applications for easy access

UI Testing with Image Comparison & Traditional Methods

Created a solution for UI testing using image comparison and traditional methods.

Developed a solution for UI testing in iOS applications using XCTest, image comparison techniques, and traditional functional testing. This method helps detect visual inconsistencies, UI regressions, and layout issues, ensuring high-quality app interfaces.

Project Features:

• Automated UI testing using XCTest framework
• Image comparison-based validation to detect visual regressions
• Pixel-by-pixel analysis for layout verification
• Traditional UI testing methods including button clicks and element validation
• Snapshot testing for tracking UI changes

Technology Stack:

• XCTest and XCUITest for UI test automation
• iOS XCTest Framework for unit and UI tests
• Pixel-by-pixel image diffing for visual regression testing
• Snapshot testing using iOS testing libraries
• CI/CD integration for continuous testing

Testing Approach:

This project implements a hybrid testing approach, combining traditional functional UI testing with image-based validation techniques.

• Traditional UI testing validates interactions such as button clicks, labels, and text fields
• Image comparison testing detects subtle UI changes using pixel-by-pixel comparisons
• Snapshot testing captures UI states and compares them over test runs

Challenges & Solutions:

Several challenges were encountered, including dynamic UI elements, screen resolution differences, and fluctuations in test environments. These were addressed by:

• Using tolerance levels in image comparison to handle minor visual deviations
• Implementing dynamic element handling for varying UI states
• Utilizing baseline images to compare expected versus actual UI

Applications:

• Ensuring consistent UI appearance across different iOS devices
• Detecting visual regressions caused by UI updates
• Automating layout testing in mobile applications
• Integrating into CI/CD pipelines for continuous UI validation
