Learning Mortality Risk For Covid-19 Using Machine Learning And Statistical Methods, Shaoshi Zhang
Learning Mortality Risk For Covid-19 Using Machine Learning And Statistical Methods, Shaoshi Zhang
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This research investigates the mortality risk of COVID-19 patients across different variant waves, using the data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) websites. By analyzing the available data, including patient medical records, vaccination rates, and hospital capacities, we aim to discern patterns and factors associated with COVID-19-related deaths.
To explore features linked to COVID-19 mortality, we employ different techniques such as Filter, Wrapper, and Embedded methods for feature selection. Furthermore, we apply various machine learning methods, including support vector machines, decision trees, random forests, logistic regression, K-nearest neighbours, na¨ıve Bayes methods, and artificial neural networks, to uncover underlying …

Exploratory Search With Archetype-Based Language Models, Brent D. Davis
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This dissertation explores how machine learning, natural language processing and information retrieval may assist the exploratory search task. Exploratory search is a search where the ideal outcome of the search is unknown, and thus the ideal language to use in a retrieval query to match it is unavailable. Three algorithms represent the contribution of this work. Archetype-based Modeling and Search provides a way to use previously identified archetypal documents relevant to an archetype to form a notion of similarity and find related documents that match the defined archetype. This is beneficial for exploratory search as it can generalize beyond standard …
