The Prediction of Hepatitis E through Ensemble Learning.

International journal of environmental research and public health
According to the World Health Organization, about 20 million people are infected with Hepatitis E every year. In 2015, there were 44,000 deaths due to HEV infection worldwide. Food, water and climate are key factors that affect the outbreak of Hepati...

Automated Classification of Online Sources for Infectious Disease Occurrences Using Machine-Learning-Based Natural Language Processing Approaches.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Collecting valid information from electronic sources to detect the potential outbreak of infectious disease is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The automated identification of relevant information using machine learning is necessary to respond to ...

How to Determine the Early Warning Threshold Value of Meteorological Factors on Influenza through Big Data Analysis and Machine Learning.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
Infectious diseases are a major health challenge for the worldwide population. Since their rapid spread can cause great distress to the real world, in addition to taking appropriate measures to curb the spread of infectious diseases in the event of a...

Application of artificial neural networks to predict the COVID-19 outbreak.

Global health research and policy
BACKGROUND: Millions of people have been infected worldwide in the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we aim to propose fourteen prediction models based on artificial neural networks (ANN) to predict the COVID-19 outbreak for policy makers.

EventEpi-A natural language processing framework for event-based surveillance.

PLoS computational biology
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 60% of all outbreaks are detected using informal sources. In many public health institutes, including the WHO and the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), dedicated groups of public health agents sift ...

Comparing machine learning with case-control models to identify confirmed dengue cases.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases
In recent decades, the global incidence of dengue has increased. Affected countries have responded with more effective surveillance strategies to detect outbreaks early, monitor the trends, and implement prevention and control measures. We have appli...

The Hidden Pandemic of Family Violence During COVID-19: Unsupervised Learning of Tweets.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Family violence (including intimate partner violence/domestic violence, child abuse, and elder abuse) is a hidden pandemic happening alongside COVID-19. The rates of family violence are rising fast, and women and children are disproportio...

Identification of Risk Factors and Symptoms of COVID-19: Analysis of Biomedical Literature and Social Media Data.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: In December 2019, the COVID-19 outbreak started in China and rapidly spread around the world. Lack of a vaccine or optimized intervention raised the importance of characterizing risk factors and symptoms for the early identification and s...

Machine learning and dengue forecasting: Comparing random forests and artificial neural networks for predicting dengue burden at national and sub-national scales in Colombia.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases
The robust estimate and forecast capability of random forests (RF) has been widely recognized, however this ensemble machine learning method has not been widely used in mosquito-borne disease forecasting. In this study, two sets of RF models were dev...

Viral pandemic preparedness: A pluripotent stem cell-based machine-learning platform for simulating SARS-CoV-2 infection to enable drug discovery and repurposing.

Stem cells translational medicine
Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus has rapidly become a global pandemic for which we were not prepared. Several clinical trials using previously approved drugs and drug combinations are urgently under way to improve the current situation. A vaccine ...
