• Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to upgrade systems for infectious disease surveillance and forecasting and modeling of the spread of infection, both of which inform evidence-based public health guidance and policies. Here, we discuss requirements for an effective surveillance system to support decision making during a pandemic, drawing on the lessons of COVID-19 in the U.S., while looking to jurisdictions in the U.S. and beyond to learn lessons about the value of specific data types. In this report, we define the range of decisions for which surveillance data are required, the data elements needed to inform these decisions and to calibrate inputs and outputs of transmission-dynamic models, and the types of data needed to inform decisions by state, territorial, local, and tribal health authorities. We define actions needed to ensure that such data will be available and consider the contribution of such efforts to improving health equity.

  This paper uses the MIMIC-IV dataset to examine the fairness and bias in an XGBoost binary classification model predicting the ICU length of stay. The research reveals class imbalances in the dataset across demographic attributes and employs data preprocessing and feature extraction. The paper concludes with recommendations for fairness-aware machine learning techniques for mitigating biases and the need for collaborative efforts among healthcare professionals and data scientists.

  We propose an adversarial learning-based stance classifier to automatically identify the public's attitudes toward COVID-19-related health policies. To enhance the model's deeper understanding, we incorporate policy descriptions as external knowledge into the model. We evaluate the performance of a broad range of baselines on the stance detection task for COVID-19-related health policies.

Our experiments demonstrate that our approach is successful in adapting a historical forecasting model to the current pandemic.
