• Abstract: Post-conflict, low-resource settings are menaced with challenges related to low-resources, economic and social instability. The objective of the study is to understand the socio-technical determinants of resilience of resilience of routine information systems a backdrop of an implementation of a mobile-based nutrition information system in a post-conflict district in Sri Lanka. The longitudinal events in the study spans across several years into the period of COVID-19 pandemic and tries to understand the process of developing resilience of in a vulnerable district. The qualitative study deploys interviews, observations and document analysis for collection of empirical data. The case study reveals the long-standing capacity building, leadership and local governance, multisector collaboration, platform resilience and empowering of field health staff contribute in building resilience in everyday context. The empirical insights include the mechanisms in building resilience in routine system in low resource settings while promoting data quality and data use at field level.

• Monitoring Critical Infrastructure Facilities During Disasters Using Large Language Models [8.17728833322492]
  Critical Infrastructure Facilities (CIFs) are vital for the functioning of a community, especially during large-scale emergencies. In this paper, we explore a potential application of Large Language Models (LLMs) to monitor the status of CIFs affected by natural disasters through information disseminated in social media networks. We analyze social media data from two disaster events in two different countries to identify reported impacts to CIFs as well as their impact severity and operational status.

• Critical Learning Periods Emerge Even in Deep Linear Networks [102.89011295243334]
  Critical learning periods are periods early in development where temporary sensory deficits can have a permanent effect on behavior and learned representations. Despite the radical differences between biological and artificial networks, critical learning periods have been empirically observed in both systems.

  We show that the ability of a neural network to integrate information from diverse sources hinges critically on being exposed to properly correlated signals during the early phases of training. We show that critical periods arise from the complex and unstable early transient dynamics, which are decisive of final performance of the trained system and their learned representations.

  It is absolutely necessary to develop an analytics framework to deliver insights in improving administrative policy and enhance the preparedness to combat the pandemic. This paper proposes a STOP-temporal knowledge mining framework, named STOP to model the impact of human mobility and contextual information over large geographic area in different temporal scales. The framework has two modules: (i) S-temporal data and computing infrastructure using fog/edge based architecture; and (ii) S-temporal data analytics module to efficiently extract knowledge from heterogeneous data sources.
