Automatically assesses the quality of online health articles.
Automated model assesses online health info quality using machine learning.
Online health communities such as the online breast cancer forum enable patients (i.e., users) to interact and help each other within various subforums, which are subsections of the main forum devoted to specific health topics. The changing nature of the users' activities in different subforums can be strong indicators…
Community-based Question Answering (CQA) sites play an important role in addressing health information needs. However, a significant number of posted questions remain unanswered. Automatically answering the posted questions can provide a useful source of information for online health communities. In this study, we deve…

Method fuses low and high-resolution data for better health estimates.
Framework optimizes battery storage for markets by separating long-term degradation from short-term market dynamics.
Online health communities are a valuable source of information for patients and physicians. However, such user-generated resources are often plagued by inaccuracies and misinformation. In this work we propose a method for automatically establishing the credibility of user-generated medical statements and the trustworth…
Recent years have witnessed a significant increase in the online sharing of medical information, with videos representing a large fraction of such online sources. Previous studies have however shown that more than half of the health-related videos on platforms such as YouTube contain misleading information and biases. …
Study optimal bidding strategies for digital ads targeting purchases and health campaigns.
Online PaLD extends PaLD for semi-supervised online applications.
Although there are millions of transgender people in the world, a lack of information exists about their health issues. This issue has consequences for the medical field, which only has a nascent understanding of how to identify and meet this population's health-related needs. Social media sites like Twitter provide ne…
A recommendation framework helps users choose healthcare interventions.
While machine learning is rapidly being developed and deployed in health settings such as influenza prediction, there are critical challenges in using data from one environment in another due to variability in features; even within disease labels there can be differences (e.g. "fever" may mean something different repor…
Generative model predicts menstrual cycle lengths accounting for self-tracking artifacts.
Accurate real-time monitoring systems of influenza outbreaks help public health officials make informed decisions that may help save lives. We show that information extracted from cloud-based electronic health records databases, in combination with machine learning techniques and historical epidemiological information,…
NeSGD efficiently updates tensor-based features for online model learning in multi-way data.
Repository tackles fake health news in cancer research.
Paper introduces online tensor inference for real-time data analysis.
Bayesian model predicts patient survival from sparse EHR data.
Develops a personalized reinforcement learning algorithm for dyadic health interventions.
The paper develops methods for monitoring TPL machine health.
Study finds macroeconomic indicators predict health workforce and infrastructure measures.
Develops a method to efficiently use offline data for RL policy optimization.
Agent decides when to measure latent states in RL to improve efficiency.
We propose an in-depth study of lending behaviors in Kiva using a mix of quantitative and large-scale data mining techniques. Kiva is a non-profit organization that offers an online platform to connect lenders with borrowers. Their site, kiva.org, allows citizens to microlend small amounts of money to entrepreneurs (bo…
NeCPD improves online tensor decomposition using SGD with Hessian analysis and NAG.
This paper proposes a definition of system health in the context of multiple agents optimizing a joint reward function. We use this definition as a credit assignment term in a policy gradient algorithm to distinguish the contributions of individual agents to the global reward. The health-informed credit assignment is t…
We present three case studies of organizations using a data science competition to answer a pressing question. The first is in education where a nonprofit that creates smart school budgets wanted to automatically tag budget line items. The second is in public health, where a low-cost, nonprofit women's health care prov…
Feature selection, which searches for the most representative features in observed data, is critical for health data analysis. Unlike feature extraction, such as PCA and autoencoder based methods, feature selection preserves interpretability, meaning that the selected features provide direct information about certain h…
Risk-based active learning improves SHM decision-making.
Graph neural network improves SOH estimation of lithium-ion batteries.
A lack of information exists about the health issues of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people who are often excluded from national demographic assessments, health studies, and clinical trials. As a result, medical experts and researchers lack a holistic understanding of the health disparities fa…
In cognitive psychology, automatic and self-reinforcing irrational thought patterns are known as cognitive distortions. Left unchecked, patients exhibiting these types of thoughts can become stuck in negative feedback loops of unhealthy thinking, leading to inaccurate perceptions of reality commonly associated with anx…
BFTS uses Bayesian Additive Regression Trees for improved personalized mobile health interventions.
Mobile apps and machine learning improve malaria prevention and treatment.
This volume represents the accepted submissions from the Machine Learning for Health (ML4H) workshop at the conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) 2018, held on December 8, 2018 in Montreal, Canada.
Social media has recently emerged as a premier method to disseminate information online. Through these online networks, tens of millions of individuals communicate their thoughts, personal experiences, and social ideals. We therefore explore the potential of social media to predict, even prior to onset, Major Depressiv…
New testing method for robust actor-critic bandit algorithms.
In the scenario of real-time monitoring of hospital patients, high-quality inference of patients' health status using all information available from clinical covariates and lab tests is essential to enable successful medical interventions and improve patient outcomes. Developing a computational framework that can learn…
StageNet improves health risk prediction by integrating disease stage information.
In the past decade, tracking health trends using social media data has shown great promise, due to a powerful combination of massive adoption of social media around the world, and increasingly potent hardware and software that enables us to work with these new big data streams. At the same time, many challenging proble…
