Automatic classification of free-text medical causes from death certificates for reactive mortality surveillance in France.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Mortality surveillance is of fundamental importance to public health surveillance. The real-time recording of death certificates, thanks to Electronic Death Registration System (EDRS), provides valuable data for reactive mortality surveil...

Deep Learning to Distinguish Recalled but Benign Mammography Images in Breast Cancer Screening.

Clinical cancer research : an official journal of the American Association for Cancer Research
PURPOSE: False positives in digital mammography screening lead to high recall rates, resulting in unnecessary medical procedures to patients and health care costs. This study aimed to investigate the revolutionary deep learning methods to distinguish...

Knowledge graph prediction of unknown adverse drug reactions and validation in electronic health records.

Scientific reports
Unknown adverse reactions to drugs available on the market present a significant health risk and limit accurate judgement of the cost/benefit trade-off for medications. Machine learning has the potential to predict unknown adverse reactions from curr...

Developing a Machine Learning System for Identification of Severe Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease from Electronic Medical Record Data.

Scientific reports
Children of severe hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) often present with same clinical features as those of mild HFMD during the early stage, yet later deteriorate rapidly with a fulminant disease course. Our goal was to: (1) develop a machine lear...

Applying GIS and Machine Learning Methods to Twitter Data for Multiscale Surveillance of Influenza.

PloS one
Traditional methods for monitoring influenza are haphazard and lack fine-grained details regarding the spatial and temporal dynamics of outbreaks. Twitter gives researchers and public health officials an opportunity to examine the spread of influenza...

Applications of machine learning in animal and veterinary public health surveillance.

Revue scientifique et technique (International Office of Epizootics)
Machine learning (ML) is an approach to artificial intelligence characterised by the use of algorithms that improve their own performance at a given task (e.g. classification or prediction) based on data and without being explicitly and fully instruc...
