The free-form portions of clinical notes are a significant source of information for research, but before they can be used, they must be de-identified to protect patients' privacy. De-identification efforts have focused on known identifier types (nam...

Anticipating unplanned hospital readmission episodes is a safety and medico-economic issue. We compared statistics (Logistic Regression) and machine learning algorithms (Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, and Neural Network) for predicting the risk of...
Most organisms are more closely related to nearby than distant members of their species, creating spatial autocorrelations in genetic data. This allows us to predict the location of origin of a genetic sample by comparing it to a set of samples of kn...

Electroencephalography (EEG)-based depression detection has become a hot topic in the development of biomedical engineering. However, the complexity and nonstationarity of EEG signals are two biggest obstacles to this application. In addition, the ge...
Breast cancer (BC) is a multifactorial disease and the most common cancer in women worldwide. We describe a machine learning approach to identify a combination of interacting genetic variants (SNPs) and demographic risk factors for BC, especially fac...
BACKGROUND: Disparities in access to robotic surgery have been shown on the local, regional, and national level. This study aims to see if the location of hospitals with robotic platforms (HWR) correlates with population trends to explain the dispari...
Child mortality from preventable diseases such as pneumonia and diarrhoea in low and middle-income countries remains a serious global challenge. We combine knowledge with available Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data from India, to construct Cau...
BACKGROUND: Dengue virus causes a wide spectrum of disease, which ranges from subclinical disease to severe dengue shock syndrome. However, estimating the risk of severe outcomes using clinical presentation or laboratory test results for rapid patien...
