An unsupervised machine learning model for discovering latent infectious diseases using social media data.

Journal of biomedical informatics
INTRODUCTION: The authors of this work propose an unsupervised machine learning model that has the ability to identify real-world latent infectious diseases by mining social media data. In this study, a latent infectious disease is defined as a commu...

Tackling Missing Data in Community Health Studies Using Additive LS-SVM Classifier.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Missing data is a common issue in community health and epidemiological studies. Direct removal of samples with missing data can lead to reduced sample size and information bias, which deteriorates the significance of the results. While data imputatio...

A knowledge base for tracking the impact of genomics on population health.

Genetics in medicine : official journal of the American College of Medical Genetics
PURPOSE: We created an online knowledge base (the Public Health Genomics Knowledge Base (PHGKB)) to provide systematically curated and updated information that bridges population-based research on genomics with clinical and public health applications...

Application of a Combined Model with Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN) in Forecasting Hepatitis Incidence in Heng County, China.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis is a serious public health problem with increasing cases and property damage in Heng County. It is necessary to develop a model to predict the hepatitis epidemic that could be useful for preventing this disease.

An Improved Genetic Fuzzy Logic Control Method to Reduce the Enlargement of Coal Floor Deformation in Shearer Memory Cutting Process.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
In order to reduce the enlargement of coal floor deformation and the manual adjustment frequency of rocker arms, an improved approach through integration of improved genetic algorithm and fuzzy logic control (GFLC) method is proposed. The enlargement...

Information Dissemination of Public Health Emergency on Social Networks and Intelligent Computation.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Due to the extensive social influence, public health emergency has attracted great attention in today's society. The booming social network is becoming a main information dissemination platform of those events and caused high concerns in emergency ma...

Assessing Electronic Cigarette-Related Tweets for Sentiment and Content Using Supervised Machine Learning.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) continue to be a growing topic among social media users, especially on Twitter. The ability to analyze conversations about e-cigarettes in real-time can provide important insight into trends in the pub...

Is demography destiny? Application of machine learning techniques to accurately predict population health outcomes from a minimal demographic dataset.

PloS one
For years, we have relied on population surveys to keep track of regional public health statistics, including the prevalence of non-communicable diseases. Because of the cost and limitations of such surveys, we often do not have the up-to-date data o...

Early Identification of Vitamin D Deficiency Risk Through Public Health Screening Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Metabolic syndrome, characterized by central obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and reduced high-density lipoprotein levels, significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Vitamin D, essential for calcium regulation and...
