  • Sharing COVID-19 Epidemiology Data
    Sharing COVID-19 Epidemiology Data Version: 0.06a DOI: 10.15497/rda00049 Authors: RDA-COVID-19-Epidemiology Working Group Co-chair: Priyanka Pillai Moderators: Claire Austin, Gabriel Turinici Published: 31st August 2020 Abstract: An immediate understanding of the COVID-19 disease epidemiology is crucial to slowing infections, minimizing deaths, and making informed decisions about when, and to what extent, to impose mitigation measures, and when and how to reopen society. Despite our need for evidence based policies and medical decision making, there is no international standard or coordinated system for collecting, documenting, and disseminating COVID-19 related data and metadata, making their use and reuse for timely epidemiological analysis challenging due to issues with documentation, interoperability, completeness, methodological heterogeneity, and data quality. There is a pressing need for a coordinated global system encompassing preparedness, early detection, and rapid response to newly emergent threats such as SARS-CoV-2 virus and the COVID- 19 disease that it causes. The intended audience for the epidemiology recommendations and guidelines are government and international agencies, policy and decision makers, epidemiologists and public health experts, disaster preparedness and response experts, funders, data providers, teachers, researchers, clinicians, and other potential users.

  • Challenges and Modern Machine Learning-Based Approaches to Object Tracking in Videos
    Challenges and modern machine learning-based approaches to object tracking in videos Object Tracking Introduction Object tracking, also known as visual tracking, in a video, is one of the challenging tasks in machine vision due to appearance changes caused by variable illumination, occlusion, and variation changes (scale of objects, pose, articulation, etc.). Some of the complex problems in visual tracking is people tracking and traffic density estimation. The conventional algorithms developed by researchers are able to tackle only some of the issues in object tracking, however, they still do not provide a foolproof solution (Bombardelli, Gül, Becker, Schmidt, & Hellge, 2018). Note: It is assumed that readers of this article are well aware of ML techniques used in object detection and object classification. Video tracking aPPlications · Surveillance · Security · Traffic monitoring · Video communication · Robot vision · Accident prediction/detection Can we use object detection at every frame to track an object in a video? This is a very valid question, however, temporal information is a more complex task for non-static items. When things move, there are some occasions when the object disappears for a few frames. Object detection will stop at that point. If the image appears again, a lot of re-processing will be required to identify whether the object that appeared is the same object that was detected previously. The problem becomes more complex when there is more than one object in a video. Object detection is more focused on working with a single image at a time with no idea about motion that may have occurred in the past frame.

  • A 20-Year Community Roadmap for Artificial Intelligence Research in the US
    A 20-Year Community Roadmap for Begin forwarded message: From: AAAI Press <[email protected]> Subject: Recap Date: July 8, 2019 at 3:52:40 PM PDT To: Carol McKenna Hamilton <[email protected]>Artificial Intelligence Research in the US Could you check this for me? Hi Denise, While it is fresh in my mind, I wanted to provide you with a recap on the AAAI proceedings work done. Some sections of the proceedings were better than others, which is to be expected because authors in some subject areas are less likely to use gures, the use of which is a signicant factor in error rate. The vision section was an excellent example of this variability. The number of problems in this section was quite high. Although I only called out 13 papers for additional corrections, there were many problems that I simply let go. What continues to be an issue, is why the team didn’t catch many of these errors before compilation began. For example, some of the errors involved the use of the caption package, as well as the existence of setlength commands. These are errors that should have been discovered and corrected before compilation. As I’ve mentioned before, running search routines on the source of all the papers in a given section saves a great deal of time because, in part, it insures consistency. That is something that has been decidedly lacking with regard to how these papers have been (or haven’t been) corrected. It is a cause for concern because the error rate should have been improving, not getting worse.
