Abstract: The inflammatory bowel disease comprises a wide range of disorders with similar symptoms. Therefore, studying the bacteria present in the microbiota of patients is key for the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. A thorough study of different available classification algorithms is crucial to find the optimal ones and apply it to the discovery of biomarkers or, ultimately, clinical diagnosis. In this study, the microbial diversity of biopsy samples from healthy, Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis patients was analysed with QIIME 2 software. Various supervised machine learning methods have been applied from bacterial relative abundance data to sample classification. Finally, an interactive web application has been developed in order to adapt the optimal models to the user's input data. Although some linear models show similar performance to complex ones, the model with the highest performance is random forest. Besides, choosing a good dimensionality reduction method is important when applying machine learning on microbiome data. Just as crucial as making these analyses available to the entire scientific community, so that large-scale studies can be done.
