The use of expert systems in optimizing and transforming human performance has been limited in practice due to the lack of understanding of how an individual's performance deteriorates with fatigue accumulation, which can vary based on both the worker and the workplace conditions. As a first step toward realizing the human-centered approach to artificial intelligence and expert systems, this paper lays the foundation for a data analytic approach to managing fatigue in physically-demanding workplaces. The proposed framework capitalizes on continuously collected human performance data from wearable sensor technologies, and is centered around four distinct phases of fatigue: (a) detection, where …


A Two-Stage Machine Learning Framework To Predict Heart Transplantation Survival Probabilities Over Time With A Monotonic Probability Constraint, Hamidreza Ahady Dolatsaraa, Ying-Ju (Tessa) Chen, Christy Evans, Ashish Gupta, Fadel M. Megahed Oct 2020

The overarching goal of this paper is to develop a modeling framework that can be used to obtain personalized, data-driven and monotonically constrained probability curves. This research is motivated by the important problem of improving the predictions for organ transplantation outcomes, which can inform updates made to organ allocation protocols, post-transplantation care pathways, and clinical resource utilization. In pursuit of our overarching goal and motivating problem, we propose a novel two-stage machine learning-based framework for obtaining monotonic probabilities over time. The first stage uses the standard approach of using independent machine learning models to predict transplantation outcomes for each time-period …

In this study, a stochastic numerical technique is used to investigate the numerical solution of heat transfer temperature distribution system using feed forward artificial neural networks. Mathematical model of fin equation is formulated with the help of artificial neural networks. The effect of the heat on a rectangular fin with thermal conductivity and temperature de-pendent internal heat generation is calculated through neural networks optimization with optimizers like active set technique, interior point technique, pattern search, genetic algorithm and a hybrid approach of pattern search - interior point technique, genetic algorithm - active set technique, genetic algorithm - interior point technique, …
