Computational epidemiology
KDD '14: Proceedings of the 20th ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data miningAs recent pandemics such as SARS and the Swine Flu outbreak have shown, diseases spread very fast in today's interconnected world, making public health an important research area. Some of the basic questions are: How can an outbreak be contained before ...
Data mining for epidemiology: The correlation of typhoid fever occurrence and environmental factors
AbstractTyphoid fever is an endemic disease that burdens Indonesia and has a potentially fatal infection multisystem. Salmonella typhi bacterium is responsible for typhoid fever disease. Poor sanitation, crowding, and slums are the main factors of ...
Computational Epidemiology
Born from a desire to predict the future, epidemiology has largely been limited to studying the past. Now, computational epidemiology researchers are harnessing computing power to crack the complicated mystery of how diseases spread.
