NAFLD is reported to be the only hepatic ailment increasing in its prevalence concurrently with both; obesity & T2DM. In the wake of a massive strain on global health resources due to COVID 19 pandemic, NAFLD is bound to be neglected & shelved. Abdominal ultrasonography is done for NAFLD screening diagnosis which has a high monetary cost associated with it. We utilized MLjar, an autoML web platform, to propose machine learning models that require no coding whatsoever & take in only easy-to-measure anthropometric measures for coming up with a screening diagnosis for NAFLD with considerably high AUC. Further studies are suggested to validate the generalization of the presented models.

Matching journals

The top 6 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
