Accurate short-term energy consumption forecasting is essential for efficient power grid management, resource allocation, and market stability. Traditional time-series models often fail to capture the complex, non-linear dependencies and…
We explore the application of large language models (LLMs), pre-trained models with massive textual data for detecting and improving these altered states. We investigate the use of LLMs to estimate attention states, sleep stages, and sleep…
Measurement errors usually arise during the longitudinal data collection process. Ignoring the effects of measurement errors will lead to invalid estimates. The Lifestyle Education for Activity and Nutrition (LEAN) study was designed to…
Data-driven health monitoring of power converters remains limited by poor generalization to unseen operating conditions. This work addresses this out-of-distribution (OOD) challenge by building a domain-specific time-series foundation model…
In the United States the preferred method of obtaining dietary intake data is the 24-hour dietary recall, yet the measure of most interest is usual or long-term average daily intake, which is impossible to measure. Thus, usual dietary…
This technical report records the experiments of applying multiple machine learning algorithms for predicting eating and food purchasing behaviors of free-living individuals. Data was collected with accelerometer, global positioning system…
Current human-AI alignment and evaluation methods for large language models (LLMs) often rely on preference signals collected immediately after an interaction. This practice implicitly treats preference as static, even though many…
Self-tracking has been long discussed, which can monitor daily activities and help users to recall previous experiences. Such data-capturing technique is no longer limited to photos, text messages, or personal diaries in recent years. With…
Data harmonization is the process by which an equivalence is developed between two variables measuring a common trait. Our problem is motivated by dementia research in which multiple tests are used in practice to measure the same underlying…
Passively collected behavioral health data from ubiquitous sensors holds significant promise to provide mental health professionals insights from patient's daily lives; however, developing analysis tools to use this data in clinical…
Time-lapse fluorescence microscopy (TLFM) is an important and powerful tool in synthetic biological research. Modeling TLFM experiments based on real data may enable researchers to repeat certain experiments with minor effort. This thesis…
In environmental health research there is often interest in the effect of an exposure on a health outcome assessed on the same day and several subsequent days or lags. Distributed lag nonlinear models (DLNM) are a well-established…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are known to memorize portions of their training data, sometimes even reproduce content verbatim when prompted appropriately. Despite substantial interest, existing LLM memorization research has offered limited…
In recent years, the United States has witnessed a significant surge in the popularity of vaping or e-cigarette use, leading to a notable rise in cases of e-cigarette and vaping use-associated lung injury (EVALI) that caused…
Aims: A common objective of epidemiological surveys is to provide population-level estimates of health indicators. Survey results tend to be biased under selective non-participation. One approach to bias reduction is to collect information…
Despite the importance of long-term memory in marketing and brand building, until now, there has been no large-scale study on the memorability of ads. All previous memorability studies have been conducted on short-term recall on specific…
Background. Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) are characterized by multiple and progressive anatomo clinical changes. Yet, modeling changes over disease course from cohort data is challenging as the usual timescales are…
Climate change has increased the vulnerability of forests to insect-related damage, resulting in widespread forest loss in Central Europe and highlighting the need for effective, continuous monitoring systems. Remote sensing based forest…
Environmental epidemiologists are often interested in estimating the effect of time-varying functions of the exposure history on health outcomes. However, the individual exposure measurements that constitute the history upon which an…
An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a non-invasive exam that records the brain's electrical activity. This is used to help diagnose conditions such as different brain problems. EEG signals are taken for epilepsy detection, and with Discrete…
