• AID4HAI: Automatic Idea Detection for Healthcare-Associated Infections from Twitter, A Framework based on Active Learning and Transfer Learning

  2023. Zahra Kharazian (et al.). Advances in Intelligent Data Analysis XXI, 195-207

  Conference

  This research is an interdisciplinary work between data scientists, innovation management researchers and experts from Swedish academia and a hygiene and health company. Based on this collaboration, we have developed a novel package for automatic idea detection with the motivation of controlling and preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAI). The principal idea of this study is to use machine learning methods to extract informative ideas from social media to assist healthcare professionals in reducing the rate of HAI. Therefore, the proposed package offers a corpus of data collected from Twitter, associated expert-created labels, and software implementation of an annotation framework based on the Active Learning paradigm. We employed Transfer Learning and built a two-step deep neural network model that incrementally extracts the semantic representation of the collected text data using the BERTweet language model in the first step and classifies these representations as informative or non-informative using a multi-layer perception (MLP) in the second step. The package is called AID4HAI (Automatic Idea Detection for controlling and preventing Healthcare-Associated Infections) and is made fully available (software code and the collected data) through a public GitHub repository. We believe that sharing our ideas and releasing these ready-to-use tools contributes to the development of the field and inspires future research.

• AID4HAI: Automatic Idea Detection for Healthcare-Associated Infections from Twitter, A Framework based on Active Learning and Transfer Learning

  2023. Zahra Kharazian (et al.). 35th Annual Workshop of the Swedish Artificial Intelligence Society SAIS 2023

  Conference

  This study is a collaboration between data scientists, innovation management researchers from academia, and experts from a hygiene and health company. The study aims to develop an automatic idea detection package to control and prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAI) by extracting informative ideas from social media using Active Learning and Transfer Learning. The proposed package includes a dataset collected from Twitter, expert-created labels, and an annotation framework. Transfer Learning has been used to build a twostep deep neural network model that gradually extracts the semantic representation of the text data using the BERTweet language model in the first step. In the second step, the model classifies the extracted representations as informative or non-informative using a multi-layer perception (MLP). The package is named AID4HAI (Automatic Idea Detection for controlling and preventing Healthcare-Associated Infections) and is publicly available on GitHub.

• Bridging the Gap: A Comparative Analysis of Regressive Remaining Useful Life Prediction and Survival Analysis Methods for Predictive Maintenance

  2023. Mahmoud Rahat (et al.). Vol. 4 No. 1 (2023): Proceedings of the Asia Pacific Conference of the PHM Society 2023

  Conference

  Regressive Remaining Useful Life Prediction and Survival Analysis are two lines of research with similar goals but different origins; one from engineering and the other from survival study in clinical research. Although the two research paths share a common objective of predicting the time to an event, researchers from each path typically do not compare their methods with methods from the other direction. Given the mentioned gap, we propose a framework to compare methods from the two lines of research using run-to-failure datasets. Then by utilizing the proposed framework, we compare six models incorporating three widely recognized degradation models along with two learning algorithms. The first dataset used in this study is C-MAPSS which includes simulation data from aircraft turbofan engines. The second dataset is real-world data from streamed condition monitoring of turbocharger devices installed on a fleet of Volvo trucks.
