However, the analysis and interpretation of this data have proven to be challenging due to its complexity and high dimensionality. Machine learning (ML) algorithms can process vast amounts of data to uncover informative patterns and relationships within the data, even with limited prior knowledge. Therefore, there has been a rapid growth in the development of software specifically designed for the analysis and interpretation of microbiome data using ML techniques. These software incorporate a wide range of ML algorithms for clustering, classification, regression, or feature selection, to identify microbial patterns and relationships within the data and generate predictive models. This rapid development with a constant need for new developments and integration of new features require efforts into compile, catalog and classify these tools to create infrastructures and services with easy, transparent, and trustable standards. Here we review the state-of-the-art for ML tools applied in human microbiome studies, performed as part of the COST Action ML4Microbiome activities. This scoping review focuses on ML based software and framework resources currently available for the analysis of microbiome data in humans. The aim is to support microbiologists and biomedical scientists to go deeper into specialized resources that integrate ML techniques and facilitate future benchmarking to create standards for the analysis of microbiome data. The software resources are organized based on the type of analysis they were developed for and the ML techniques they implement. A description of each software with examples of usage is provided including comments about pitfalls and lacks in the usage of software based on ML methods in relation to microbiome data that need to be considered by developers and users. This review represents an extensive compilation to date, offering valuable insights and guidance for researchers interested in leveraging ML approaches for microbiome analysis.

The balance of the intestinal flora is important to prevent chronic gut infections and adiposity, as well as pathological alterations connected to various diseases. The evaluation of microbiome data based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) is complex and their interpretation is often challenging and can be ambiguous. Therefore, we developed an innovative approach for the examination and classification of microbiomic data into healthy and diseased by visualizing the data as a radial heatmap in order to apply deep learning (DL) image classification. The differentiation between 674 healthy and 272 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) samples was chosen as a proof of concept. The residual network with 50 layers (ResNet-50) image classification model was trained and optimized, providing discrimination with 96% accuracy. Samples from healthy persons were detected with a specificity of 97% and those from T2D individuals with a sensitivity of 92%. Image classification using DL of NGS microbiome data enables precise discrimination between healthy and diabetic individuals. In the future, this tool could enable classification of different diseases and imbalances of the gut microbiome and their causative genera.
