Machine learning-based prediction of antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from Uganda.

BMC infectious diseases
BACKGROUND: Efforts toward tuberculosis management and control are challenged by the emergence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) resistance to existing anti-TB drugs. This study aimed to explore the potential of machine learning algorithms in predi...

Medical imaging and radiation science students' use of artificial intelligence for learning and assessment.

Radiography (London, England : 1995)
INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence has permeated all aspects of our existence, and medical imaging has shown the burgeoning use of artificial intelligence in clinical environments. However, there are limited empirical studies on radiography studen...

Modelling bluetongue and African horse sickness vector (Culicoides spp.) distribution in the Western Cape in South Africa using random forest machine learning.

Parasites & vectors
BACKGROUND: Culicoides biting midges exhibit a global spatial distribution and are the main vectors of several viruses of veterinary importance, including bluetongue (BT) and African horse sickness (AHS). Many environmental and anthropological factor...

Windy events detection in big bioacoustics datasets using a pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network.

The Science of the total environment
Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which involves using autonomous record units for studying wildlife behaviour and distribution, often requires handling big acoustic datasets collected over extended periods. While these data offer invaluable insight...

Deep learning in sex estimation from photographed human mandible using the Human Osteological Research Collection.

Legal medicine (Tokyo, Japan)
Sex estimation is a necessary part of forensic and osteological analyses of skeletal human remains in the construction of a biological profile. Several skeletal traits are sexually dimorphic and used for skeletal sex estimation. The human mandible an...

Leveraging data science and machine learning for urban climate adaptation in two major African cities: a HEAT Center study protocol.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: African cities, particularly Abidjan and Johannesburg, face challenges of rapid urban growth, informality and strained health services, compounded by increasing temperatures due to climate change. This study aims to understand the compl...

Research ethics and artificial intelligence for global health: perspectives from the global forum on bioethics in research.

BMC medical ethics
BACKGROUND: The ethical governance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in health care and public health continues to be an urgent issue for attention in policy, research, and practice. In this paper we report on central themes related to challenges and s...

Artificial intelligence (AI) or augmented intelligence? How big data and AI are transforming healthcare: Challenges and opportunities.

South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde
The sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship is deeply embedded in tradition - the Hippocratic oath, medical ethics, professional codes of conduct, and legislation - all of which are being disrupted by big data and 'artificial' intelligence (AI). ...

Wild Tech: Exploring South Africa's unique robotics landscape.

Science robotics
South Africa's location-specific opportunities have enabled local researchers to establish a niche in the robotics community.
