A machine learning based framework for identifying consumer product injuries from social media data.

BACKGROUND: Safety is a critical aspect of consumer products. However, there are millions of product related injuries reported each year. Traditional injury surveillance efforts led by public health agencies involve product related injury data collection from hospitals and subsequent injury causation analysis. This approach often requires long processing time and leads to delays in identifying eme...

Cross-modality fusion of hematology-based digital and molecular biomarkers for intelligent epidemiological screening and surveillance of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a critical challenge due to the disease's complexity and the limitations of current screening and surveillance methods, which are often invasive, costly, or lack adequate sensitivity. There is an increasing demand for accessible methods with explicit and reliable indicators capable of detecting HCC early, ideally before symptoms manifest. H...

Building and validating a machine learning model to predict coronary heart disease risk based on non-invasive indicators.
