New UC San Diego Model Predicts Housing Prices to Fall as much as 18% this Year
A new model of forecasting home prices based on consumer demand predicts that prices for housing will decrease by 5% nationally and 12% in San Diego County by the end of this year. The model, which highlights online search activity, was recently published in a new study from the University of California San Diego’s Rady School of Management.
JMIR Biomedical Engineering | Using Machine Learning to Reduce Treatment Burden
JMIR Publications recently published “Reducing Treatment Burden Among People With Chronic Conditions Using Machine Learning: Viewpoint” in JMIR Biomedical Engineering which reported that the COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated multiple challenges within the health care system and is unique to those living with chronic conditions.
All About Eve
New AI model called EVE, developed by scientists at Harvard Medical School and Oxford University, outperforms other AI methods in determining whether a gene variant is benign or disease-causing.
When applied to more than 36 million variants across 3,219 disease-associated proteins and genes, EVE indicated more than 256,000 human gene variants of unknown significance that should be reclassified as benign or pathogenic.
Novel Method Predicts if COVID-19 Clinical Trials Will Fail or Succeed
Researchers are the first to model COVID-19 completion versus cessation in clinical trials using machine learning algorithms and ensemble learning. They collected 4,441 COVID-19 trials from ClinicalTrials.gov to build a testbed with 693 dimensional features created to represent each clinical trial. These computational methods can predict whether a COVID-19 clinical trial will be completed or terminated, withdrawn or suspended. Stakeholders can leverage the predictions to plan resources, reduce costs, and minimize the time of the clinical study.
Research suggests fly brains make predictions — possibly by using universal design principles
New research in flies indicates that prediction may be a universal principle among animal nervous systems to enable rapid behavioral changes.
Seeing Multiple Forecasts in Verbal Rather than Numerical Form Causes People to Make More Confident Predictions of Outcome
A forthcoming research paper by Johns Hopkins Carey Business School Assistant Professor Robert Mislavsky, a marketing expert, looks at a little-examined area of probability forecasting.
Big Data Analytics Enables Scientists to Model COVID-19 Spread
Researchers will use big data analytics techniques to develop computational models to predict the spread of COVID-19. They will utilize forward simulation from a given patient and the propagation of the infection into the community; and backward simulation tracing a number of verified infections to a possible patient “zero.” The project also will provide quick and automatic contact tracing and leverages the researchers’ prior experience in modeling Ebola spread.
Researchers use machine learning to build COVID-19 predictions
Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York are using machine learning to track the coronavirus and predict where it might surge next.
New model predicts the peaks of the COVID-19 pandemic
This week in the journal Frontiers, researchers describe a single function that accurately describes all existing available data on active COVID-19 cases and deaths—and predicts forthcoming peaks.
