In this study, we leveraged machine learning techniques to identify risk factors associated with post-COVID-19 mental health disorders. Our analysis, based on data collected from 669 patients across various provinces in Iraq, yielded valuable insights. We found that age, gender, and geographical region of residence were significant demographic factors influencing the likelihood of developing mental health disorders in post-COVID-19 patients. Additionally, comorbidities and the severity of COVID-19 illness were important clinical predictors. Psychosocial factors, such as social support, coping strategies, and perceived stress levels, also played a substantial role. Our findings emphasize the complex interplay of multiple factors in the development of mental health disorders following COVID-19 recovery. Healthcare providers and policymakers should consider these risk factors when designing targeted interventions and support systems for individuals at risk. Machine learning-based approaches can provide a valuable tool for predicting and preventing adverse mental health outcomes in post-COVID-19 patients. Further research and prospective studies are needed to validate these findings and enhance our understanding of the long-term psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge regarding the mental health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to address the diverse needs of individuals on the path to recovery.

Introduction to Probabilistic Classification: A Machine Learning Perspective

#artificialintelligence

You are capable of training and evaluating classification models, both linear and non-linear model structures. Now, you want class probabilities instead of class labels. This is the article you are looking for. This article walks you through the different evaluation metrics, its pros and cons and optimal model training for multiple ML models. Imagine creating a model with the sole purpose of classifying cats and dogs.


Can Machine Learning Correct Commonly Accepted Knowledge and Provide Understandable Knowledge in Care Support Domain? Tackling Cognitive Bias and Humanity from Machine Learning Perspective

Takadama, Keiki (The University of Electro-Communications)

This paper focuses on care support knowledge (especially focuses on the sleep related knowledge) and tackles its cognitive bias and humanity aspects from machine learning perspective through discussion of whether machine learning can correct commonly accepted knowledge and provide understandable knowledge in care support domain. For this purpose, this paper starts by introducing our data mining method (based on association rule learning) that can provide only necessary number of understandable knowledge without probabilities even if its accuracy slightly becomes worse, and shows its effectiveness in care plans support systems for aged persons as one of healthcare systems. The experimental result indicates that (1) our method can extract a few simple knowledge as understandable knowledge that clarifies what kinds of activities (e.g., rehabilitation, bathing) in care house contribute to having a deep sleep, but (2) the apriori algorithm as one of major association rule learning methods is hard to provide such knowledge because it needs calculate all combinations of activities executed by aged persons.


Multiagent Systems: A Survey from a Machine Learning Perspective

AITopics Original Links

Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) has existed as a subfield of AI for less than two decades. DAI is concerned with systems that consist of multiple independent entities that interact in a domain. Traditionally, DAI has been divided into two sub-disciplines: Distributed Problem Solving (DPS) focusses on the information management aspects of systems with several branches working together towards a common goal; Multiagent Systems (MAS) deals with behavior management in collections of several independent entities, or agents. This survey of MAS is intended to serve as an introduction to the field and as an organizational framework. A series of increasingly complex general multiagent scenarios are presented.


Stochastic Portfolio Theory: A Machine Learning Perspective by Yves-Laurent KOM SAMO, Alexander Vervuurt :: SSRN

#artificialintelligence

In this paper we propose a novel application of Gaussian processes (GPs) to financial asset allocation. Our approach is deeply rooted in Stochastic Portfolio Theory (SPT), a stochastic analysis framework introduced by Robert E. Fernholz that aims at flexibly analysing the performance of certain investment strategies in stock markets relative to benchmark indices. In particular, SPT has exhibited some investment strategies based on company sizes that, under realistic assumptions, outperform benchmark indices with probability 1 over certain time horizons. Galvanised by this result, we consider the inverse problem that consists of learning (from historical data) an optimal investment strategy based on any given set of trading characteristics, and using a user-specified optimality criterion that may go beyond outperforming a benchmark index. Although this inverse problem is of the utmost interest to investment management practitioners, it can hardly be tackled using the SPT framework.
