The field of machine learning is rapidly advancing, with a growing emphasis on interpretability and explainability. Recent research has focused on developing innovative methods for risk identification, mortality prediction, and anomaly detection in various domains, including healthcare and energy. A key direction in this field is the development of modular warning systems, such as those used in proximity healthcare, which can ingest multi-modal data and provide predictive results. Another area of focus is the creation of clinically interpretable models, such as those used for mortality prediction in ICU patients with diabetes and atrial fibrillation.
Noteworthy papers in this area include one that presents a general automated pipeline for ingesting multi-modal data and providing predictive results, and another that develops an interpretable machine learning model for predicting 28-day mortality in ICU patients with concurrent diabetes and atrial fibrillation. Additionally, a paper on estimating deprivation cost functions for power outages during disasters using a discrete choice modeling approach is also noteworthy, as it provides a methodology for measuring the costs of power outages and enables policymakers to develop more equitable resilience strategies.
