BMC oral health
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to explore the perspectives, familiarity, and readiness of dental faculty members regarding the integration and application of artificial intelligence (AI) in dentistry, with a focus on the possible effects on ...

Quantifying the scale of erosion along major coastal aquifers of Pakistan using geospatial and machine learning approaches.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Insufficient freshwater recharge and climate change resulted in seawater intrusion in most of the coastal aquifers in Pakistan. Coastal aquifers represent diverse landcover types with varying spectral properties, making it challenging to extract info...

High-resolution rural poverty mapping in Pakistan with ensemble deep learning.

PloS one
High resolution poverty mapping supports evidence-based policy and research, yet about half of all countries lack the survey data needed to generate useful poverty maps. To overcome this challenge, new non-traditional data sources and deep learning t...

Machine Learning-Based Fragility Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Buildings.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
In the past, large earthquakes caused the collapse of infrastructure and killed thousands of people in Pakistan, a seismically active region. Therefore, the seismic assessment of infrastructure is a dire need that can be done using the fragility anal...

Mapping of groundwater productivity potential with machine learning algorithms: A case study in the provincial capital of Baluchistan, Pakistan.

Chemosphere
Although groundwater (GW) potential zoning can be beneficial for water management, it is currently lacking in several places around the world, including Pakistan's Quetta Valley. Due to ever increasing population growth and industrial development, GW...

Machine learning prediction of gestational age from metabolic screening markers resistant to ambient temperature transportation: Facilitating use of this technology in low resource settings of South Asia and East Africa.

Journal of global health
BACKGROUND: Knowledge of gestational age is critical for guiding preterm neonatal care. In the last decade, metabolic gestational dating approaches emerged in response to a global health need; because in most of the developing world, accurate antenat...

Hybrid feature selection-based machine learning Classification system for the prediction of injury severity in single and multiple-vehicle accidents.

PloS one
To undertake a reliable analysis of injury severity in road traffic accidents, a complete understanding of important attributes is essential. As a result of the shift from traditional statistical parametric procedures to computer-aided methods, machi...
