A deep learning approach based on convolutional LSTM for detecting diabetes.

In this study, we developed a novel diabetes classifying model based on Convolutional Long Short-term Memory (Conv-LSTM) that was not applied yet in this regard. We applied another three popular models such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Traditional LSTM (T-LSTM), and CNN-LSTM and compared the performance with our developed model over the Pima Indians Diabetes Database (PIDD). Significant features were extracted from the dataset using Boruta algorithm that returned glucose, BMI, insulin, blood pressure, and age as important features for classifying diabetes patients more accurately. We performed hyperparameter optimization using Grid Search algorithm in order to find the optimal parameters for the applied models. Initial experiment by splitting the dataset into separate training and testing sets, the Conv-LSTM-based model classified the diabetes patients with the highest accuracy of 91.38 %. In later, using cross-validation technique the Conv-LSTM model achieved the highest accuracy of 97.26 % and outperformed the other three models along with the state-of-the-art models.
