Patterns of preventable death and government response compliance across Australian coronial jurisdictions: a natural language processing analysis of 9833 findings

ABSTRACT Objectives: To quantify patterns of preventable death in Australian coronial findings, measure government compliance with coroner recommendations across jurisdictions, and identify case characteristics associated with recommendation issuance and acceptance. Design: Cross-sectional computational text analysis of publicly available coronial findings using unsupervised topic modelling and ru...

Inferring unobserved vector dynamics for dengue forecasting using physics-informed neural networks and mechanistic transmission models

Accurately characterising mosquito infection dynamics is essential for effective dengue prevention and control, yet these dynamics are rarely observable through routine surveillance. Here, we integrate a reduced SI-SIR transmission model with monthly dengue incidence data using physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) to develop a Dengue-Informed Neural Network (DINN). The DINN simultaneously fits...

Wastewater-informed neural compartmental model for long-horizon case number projections

Wastewater-based epidemiology provides a low-cost, scalable view of community infection dynamics, but converting these signals into actionable epidemi...

Deep learning outperforms traditional machine learning methods in predicting childhood malnutrition: evidence from survey data
