Doubly Robust Proximal Synthetic Controls [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
To infer the treatment effect for a single treated unit using panel data, synthetic control methods construct a linear combination of control units' outcomes that mimics the treated unit's pre-treatment outcome trajectory. This linear combination is subsequently used to impute the counterfactual outcomes of the treated unit had it not been treated in ...

The interactions of SARS-CoV-2 with co-circulating pathogens: Epidemiological implications and current knowledge gaps [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Despite the availability of effective vaccines, the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 suggests that co-circulation with other pathogens and resulting multi-epidemics may become increasingly frequent. To better forecast and control the risk of such multi-epidemics, it is essential to elucidate the potential interactions of SARS-CoV-2 with other pathogens; these

VaccineLies: A Natural Language Resource for Learning to Recognize Misinformation about the COVID-19 and HPV Vaccines [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Billions of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered, but many remain hesitant. Misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccines and other vaccines, propagating on social media, is believed to drive hesitancy towards vaccination. The ability to automatically recognize misinformation targeting vaccines on Twitter depends on the availability of data resources.
