One of the most challenging aspects of writing multiple-choice test questions is identifying plausible incorrect response options-i.e., distractors. To help with this task, a procedure is introduced that can mine existing item banks for potential dis...
Prediction of complex epidemiological systems such as COVID-19 is challenging on many grounds. Commonly used compartmental models struggle to handle an epidemiological process that evolves rapidly and is spatially heterogeneous. On the other hand, ma...
What is the relationship between mortality and satellite images as elucidated through the use of Convolutional Neural Networks? Following a century of increase, life expectancy in the United States has stagnated and begun to decline in recent decade...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming many domains, including finance, agriculture, defense, and biomedicine. In this paper, we focus on the role of AI in clinical and translational research (CTR), including preclinical research (T1), clinical...
