Much recent research aims to identify evidence for Drug-Drug Interactions (DDI) and Adverse Drug reactions (ADR) from the biomedical scientific literature. In addition to this "Bibliome", the universe of social media provides a very promising source of large-scale data that can help identify DDI and ADR in ways that have not been hitherto possible. Given the large number of users, analysis of s...

We present a set of tools that were developed for an experimental music project in which an album was created with 1,000 distinct variations and released as a digital limited edition. The tools enable the parameterisation of musical compositions created in the popular music software Ableton Live such that timelines of musical elements can be composed as keyframes and interpolated between.

Since 2009, the National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA), with support from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), has provided training and technical assistance (TTA) in strategic planning to State Criminal Justice Administering Agencies (SAAs) in 20 states, 2 territories, and the District of Columbia. TTA services have been tailored to the needs, planning scopes, and timelines establishe...

We present an end-to-end system that processes narrative clinical records, constructs timelines for the medical histories of patients, and visualizes the results. This work is motivated by real clinical records and our general approach is based on deep semantic natural language understanding.

This paper presents some of the features of a knowledge engineering environment, called KEEN, created to support a timeline based planning based on the APSI-TRF modeling assumptions. A key feature of the environment is the integration of typical tools for knowledge based modeling and refining with services for validation and verification specialized to planning with timelines.

Background: Vaccination against COVID-19 is as a key solution to interrupt its spread. This study aimed to describe the vaccination coverage required to stop the spread of COVID-19 in Sri Lanka using a mathematical modeling strategy. Materials & Methods: This longitudinal study used age-stratified and unstratified Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) models. Data on the population's age dist...

BACKGROUND The United Nations Millennium Development Goals galvanized global efforts to alleviate suffering of the world's poorest people through unprecedented public-private partnerships. Donor aid agencies have demonstrably saved millions of lives that might otherwise have been lost to disease through increased access to quality-assured vaccines and medicines. Yet, the introduction of these h...
