Beyond Prediction: Data, Baselines, Explanation, and Causation in Machine Learning for Food Insecurity

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
The gains from machine learning in nowcasting and forecasting food insecurity are still small and limited and cannot be observed in all countries. This review summarizes the public resources for data, corrects common misconceptions about model requirements, and establishes baseline requirements, explanations, causal inference, and equity in operational

Harnessing the Potential of LLMs in Hospital Management: Insights Into Medical Data Inquiry

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Considering the rapid expansion of hospital operations and the increasing digitisation of medical data, there is a pressing need for efficient and intelligent methods to process and analyse large‐scale medical data. Methods We integrated the QLoRA algorithm with ChatGLM2‐6b, Llama2‐7b, and Llama2‐13b models, fine‐tuning them on a ...

A multilevel perspective on MSH6‐associated Lynch syndrome: Integrating molecular, biological, and clinical insights

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome, caused by a germline pathogenic variant in one of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Among these, MSH6‐associated LS represents a distinct subtype with unique molecular and clinical characteristics.

Life is Cheap: Using Mortality Bonds to Hedge Aggregate Mortality Risk [PDF]

Using the widely-cited Lee-Carter mortality model, we quantify aggregate mortality risk as the risk that the average annuitant lives longer than is predicted by the model, and we conclude that annuity business exposes insurance companies to substantial ...

Contrasting Heatwave Regimes in Dry and Humid Subtropical Mexico: A Station‐Based Probabilistic Assessment

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Heatwaves have intensified under a warming climate, producing substantial environmental and societal impacts. This study characterizes heatwave regimes in two contrasting regions of Mexico using a percentile‐based threshold and a Poisson distribution framework.
