• Abstract: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution kills seven million people every year. Outdoor air pollution is a major environmental health problem affecting low, middle, and high-income countries. In the past few years, the research community has explored IoT-enabled machine learning applications for outdoor air pollution prediction. The general objective of this paper is to systematically review applications of machine learning and Internet of Things (IoT) for outdoor air pollution prediction and the combination of monitoring sensors and input features used. Two research questions were formulated for this review. 1086 publications were collected in the initial PRISMA stage. After the screening and eligibility phases, 37 papers were selected for inclusion. A cost-based analysis was conducted on the findings to highlight high-cost monitoring, low-cost IoT and hybrid enabled prediction. Three methods of prediction were identified: time series, feature-based and spatio-temporal. This review's findings identify major limitations in applications found in the literature, namely lack of coverage, lack of diversity of data and lack of inclusion of context-specific features. This review proposes directions for future research and underlines practical implications in healthcare, urban planning, global synergy and smart cities.

  This paper looks at the causal inference task of treatment effect estimation. We assume binary effects that are recorded as high-dimensional images in a Randomized Controlled Trial. We compare 6 480 models fine-tuned from state-of-the-art visual backbones. We find that the sampling and modeling choices significantly affect the accuracy of the causal estimate.

  Prior work relied on modeling pollutant concentrations collected from ground-based monitors and meteorological data for long-term forecasting. This study aims to develop and validate models to nowcast the observed pollution levels using Web search data, which is publicly available in near real-time from major search engines. We developed novel machine learning-based models using both traditional supervised classification methods and state-of-the-art deep learning methods to detect elevated air pollution levels at the US city level.

  This paper seeks to create a multi-modal machine learning model for predicting air-quality metrics where monitoring stations do not exist.

These predictions are then aggregated to create an "air-quality index" that could be used to compare air quality over different regions.
