Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We have implemented a deep learning model with L2 regularization and trained it on Electromyography (EMG) data. The data comprises of EMG signals collected from control group, myopathy and ALS patients. Our proposed deep neural network consists of eight layers; five fully connected, two batch normalization and one dropout layers. The data is divided into training and testing sections by subsequently dividing the training data into sub-training and validation sections. Having implemented this model, an accuracy of 99 percent is achieved on the test data set. The model was able to distinguishes the normal cases (control group) from the others at a precision of 100 percent and classify the myopathy and ALS with high accuracy of 97.4 and 98.2 percents, respectively. Thus we believe that, this highly improved classification accuracies will be beneficial for their use in the clinical diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders.
