Artificial Intelligence in Geospatial Analysis for Flood Vulnerability Assessment: A Case of Dire Dawa Watershed, Awash Basin, Ethiopia.

TheScientificWorldJournal
This study presents the novelty artificial intelligence in geospatial analysis for flood vulnerability assessment in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia. Flood-causing factors such as rainfall, slope, LULC, elevation NDVI, TWI, SAVI, K-factor, R-factor, river distan...

Physicochemical properties, antioxidant activities and microbial communities of Ethiopian honey wine, Tej.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Ethiopian honey wine, Tej, is spontaneously fermented traditional alcoholic beverage, usually made from honey and "gesho" (Rhamnus prinoides). Till now, limited amount of information is available on the characterization of Tej. Thus, the aim of this ...

Designing a hybrid dimension reduction for improving the performance of Amharic news document classification.

PloS one
The volume of Amharic digital documents has grown rapidly in recent years. As a result, automatic document categorization is highly essential. In this paper, we present a novel dimension reduction approach for improving classification accuracy by com...

Predicting skilled delivery service use in Ethiopia: dual application of logistic regression and machine learning algorithms.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Skilled assistance during childbirth is essential to reduce maternal deaths. However, in Ethiopia, which is among the six countries contributing to more than half of the global maternal deaths, the coverage of births attended by skilled h...

Sensitivity and specificity of computer vision classification of eyelid photographs for programmatic trachoma assessment.

PloS one
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Trachoma programs base treatment decisions on the community prevalence of the clinical signs of trachoma, assessed by direct examination of the conjunctiva. Automated assessment could be more standardized and more cost-effective. We ...

Evaluation of a miniaturized NIR spectrometer for cultivar identification: The case of barley, chickpea and sorghum in Ethiopia.

PloS one
Crop cultivar identification is fundamental for agricultural research, industry and policies. This paper investigates the feasibility of using visible/near infrared hyperspectral data collected with a miniaturized NIR spectrometer to identify cultiva...

Detecting microcephaly and macrocephaly from ultrasound images using artificial intelligence.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Microcephaly and macrocephaly, which are abnormal congenital markers, are associated with developmental and neurologic deficits. Hence, there is a medically imperative need to conduct ultrasound imaging early on. However, resource-limited...

Application of machine learning algorithm for prediction of abortion among reproductive age women in Ethiopia.

Scientific reports
Abortion is a critical health issue that leads to numerous complications, maternal deaths, and significant financial burdens on women, families, and healthcare systems. Studies have identified factors associated with abortion using traditional statis...

Development of a machine learning prediction model for loss to follow-up in HIV care using routine electronic medical records in a low-resource setting.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Despite the global commitment to ending AIDS by 2030, the loss of follow-up (LTFU) in HIV care remains a significant challenge. To address this issue, a data-driven clinical decision tool is crucial for identifying patients at greater ris...

Comparative analysis of machine learning algorithms for predicting diarrhea among under-five children in Ethiopia: Evidence from 2016 EDHS.

Health informatics journal
: Diarrhea is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in under-5 children globally, especially in developing countries like Ethiopia. Limited research has used machine learning to predict childhood diarrhea. This study aimed to compare the predictiv...
