Hybrid Model for Investigating the Gut Microbiota Signatures in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Abstract
NAFLD, is currently aubiquitous persistent liver illness. The disorder of the gastrointestinal microbiota contributes to the onset and progression of NAFLD. In NAFLD, the makeup of the gut microbiota is markedly changed, with pro-inflammatory bacteria being more abundant and beneficial taxa being depleted. These microbial fingerprints indicate the gut-liver axis as a major driver NAFLD and are linked to and predictive of the illness's progression. This research uses the multi-model approach of CNN and Random Forest to identify key microbial taxa associated with NAFLD development and their enduring changes. The results surpass the other methods with better accuracy. Keywords - NAFLD, Hepatic Steatosis, Gastrointestinal Microbiota, gut barrier integrity, gut- liver axis, gut microbiome
