Universalising Leading Healthcare Budgeting Systems by Applying Supervised Machine Learning Through Integrating Recurrent Neural Networks

Posted Ashish Singh, Anshul Dani 1 CommentPosted in Computer Science, Medicine

  Abstract: Globally, inadequate healthcare funding has catalysed severe effects, demonstrating the extensive issues raised by inefficient spending. Consequently, this study’s principal objective is to universalise leading health care systems by examining different countries’ data, such as population and number of hospital beds, with linear regression analysis. This research focuses on extrapolating the funding principles […]

Is Bidirectional Sentence Parsing the Future of Natural Language Processing?

Posted Bharathi SridharLeave a commentPosted in Computer Science

Bharathi Sridhar Abstract Traditionally, text is analysed unidirectionally: from left to right. But bidirectional parsing is quickly becoming more prevalent in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and deep learning. Deep learning methods often require large amounts of data to extract patterns but in many NLP tasks, labelled data is scarce, so usually, a model is pre-trained […]

Peer-to-peer Lending: Optimizing the Classification and Matching of Digital Karmic Personas

Posted Sanya SharmaLeave a commentPosted in Computer Science

Sanya Sharma William Jones College Preparatory Abstract In 2020, student debt in the U.S. has amounted to a sum of $1.56 trillion and is a growing national concern [1]. To alleviate this crisis, I assisted in the development of Coinsequence—a curated, peer-to-peer lending platform in which do-good lenders directly invest in students’ digital profiles. Here, […]

Skin Cancer Detection Through AI Model

Posted Arya Gijare5 CommentsPosted in Computer Science

[email protected] ABSTRACT One of the most deadly diseases in humans is skin cancer. Research shows that early detection of these cancerous tumors significantly increases chances of survival[1].Therefore, physicians take more time to investigate these types of lesions.[2]] The purpose of this paper is to propose a system that automatically classifies skin cancer with a higher […]

Comparing RSSI Between Thinly Enclosed and Exposed Devices

Posted Samrat SahooLeave a commentPosted in Computer Science

Abstract In this paper, we explore the idea of private automated contact tracing through bluetooth devices. This is done through a controlled experiment where Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) values are measured from different distances in both an exposed setting as well as a thinly enclosed setting [3]. The behavior and patterns of the RSSI […]

Using Bluetooth RSSI Values to Classify Proximity with Deep Neural Networks for COVID-19 Contact Tracing

Posted Edward Jung2 CommentsPosted in Computer Science

Abstract The Radio Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) obtained by Bluetooth can be used to estimate the proximity and duration of an individual’s exposure to patients diagnosed with COVID-19. This is because as the RSSI signal becomes stronger with the help of an rf amplifier, it indicates a closer proximity. This proximity information can be used […]

Quantum Computing: How it all adds up

Posted Mugilan GanesanLeave a commentPosted in Computer Science

Introduction Quantum computing has taken the world by storm. Many believe that quantum computers have the potential to overtake even the fastest supercomputers, and for good reason. Quantum computers – unlike classical computers – rely on the peculiar phenomena of quantum mechanics. How, though, do these machines function? How do scientists realistically incorporate quantum ideas […]

Demographic Bias in Unemployment Across the U.S. during the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic

Posted Maithili Kumar, Justin Lin, Angelina Loh, AdityaLeave a commentPosted in Computer Science

Abstract COVID-19 has been reported to disproportionately affect minorities in terms of mortality rate1, so it was inquired whether this apparent discrimination also applied to unemployment rate. Through data analysis in Python and K-means clustering, an unsupervised machine learning algorithm based on minimising within-cluster variance to an average point known as a centroid, the bias […]

Predicting Cell Phenotypes from scRNAseq Data

Posted Ryan NayebiLeave a commentPosted in Computer Science

  Ryan Nayebi* Mentor: Brianna Chrisman *Woodside Priory School Abstract The use of machine learning to analyse data obtained through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) provides eye-opening insights into cellular biology. Applications of this type of data analysis range from understanding tumor heterogeneity (with potential for creating lifesaving, patient-specific treatment) to studying stochastic gene expression.[17] Throughout […]
