• Abstract summary: We develop a Hawkes process-based technique to assign relatively fine-grain spatial and temporal risk scores. We focus on developing risk scores based on location density and mobility behaviour. Our results show that fine-grain risk scores based on high-resolution mobility data can provide useful insights and facilitate safe re-opening.

• Abstract: As countries look towards re-opening of economic activities amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring public health has been challenging. While contact tracing only aims to track past activities of infected users, one path to safe reopening is to develop reliable spatiotemporal risk scores to indicate the propensity of the disease. Existing works which aim to develop risk scores either rely on compartmental model-based reproduction numbers (which assume uniform population mixing) or develop coarse-grain spatial scores based on reproduction number (R0) and macro-level density-based mobility statistics. Instead, in this paper, we develop a Hawkes process-based technique to assign relatively fine-grain spatial and temporal risk scores by leveraging high-resolution mobility data based on cell-phone originated location signals. While COVID-19 risk scores also depend on a number of factors specific to an individual, including demography and existing medical conditions, the primary mode of disease transmission is via physical proximity and contact. Therefore, we focus on developing risk scores based on location density and mobility behaviour. We demonstrate the efficacy of the developed risk scores via simulation based on real-world mobility data. Our results show that fine-grain spatiotemporal risk scores based on high-resolution mobility data can provide useful insights and facilitate safe re-opening.

  Existing methods for constructing survival scores presume that data originates from a single source. We propose a novel framework for building federated scoring systems for multi-site survival outcomes. In testing datasets from each participant site, our proposed federated scoring system consistently outperformed all local models.

We develop an experimental design and computational methods that combine genetic variants associated with OUD with behavioral features extracted from GPS and Wi-Fitemporal coordinates to assess OUD risk.

  We propose a generative time-to-event model, SurvLatent ODE, which parameterizes a latent representation under irregularly sampled data. Our model then utilizes the latent representation to flexibly estimate survival times for multiple competing events without specifying shapes of event-specific hazard function. SurvLatent ODE outperforms the current clinical standard Khorana Risk scores for stratifying DVT risk groups.

  C-Watcher aims at screening every neighborhood in a target city and predicting infection risks, prior to the spread of COVID-19 from epicenters to the city. C-Watcher collects large-scale long-term human mobility data from Baidu Maps, then characterizes every residential neighborhood in the city using a set of features based on urban mobility patterns. We carried out extensive experiments on C-Watcher using the real-data records in the early stage of COVID-19 outbreaks.

  coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has infected more than 531,000 people with more than 24,000 deaths in at least 171 countries.

We propose and develop an AI-driven system (named $alpha$-Satellite, as an initial offering) to provide hierarchical community-level risk assessment.
