Abstract
Thyroid diseases, including functional and neoplastic diseases, bring a huge burden to people's health. Therefore, a timely and accurate diagnosis is necessary. Mass spectrometry (MS) based multi-omics has become an effective strategy to reveal the complex biological mechanisms of thyroid diseases. The exponential growth of biomedical data has promoted the applications of machine learning (ML) techniques to address new challenges in biology and clinical research. In this review, we presented the detailed review of applications of ML for MS-based multi-omics in thyroid disease. It is primarily divided into two sections. In the first section, MS-based multi-omics, primarily proteomics and metabolomics, and their applications in clinical diseases are briefly discussed. In the second section, several commonly used unsupervised learning and supervised algorithms, such as principal component analysis, hierarchical clustering, random forest, and support vector machines are addressed, and the integration of ML techniques with MS-based multi-omics data and its application in thyroid disease diagnosis is explored.
