Food insecurity, a latent construct defined as the lack of consistent access to sufficient and nutritious food, is a pressing global issue with serious health and social justice implications. Item factor analysis is commonly used to study…
Poverty is a multifaceted phenomenon linked to the lack of capabilities of households to earn a sustainable livelihood, increasingly being assessed using multidimensional indicators. Its spatial pattern depends on social, economic,…
Removing the bias and variance of multicentre data has always been a challenge in large scale digital healthcare studies, which requires the ability to integrate clinical features extracted from data acquired by different scanners and…
Price volatility in global food commodities is a critical signal indicating potential disruptions in the food market. Understanding forthcoming changes in these prices is essential for bolstering food security, particularly for nations at…
Integrated global food system analysis is hampered by the fragmentation of data among food types, processes, and scales. Studies also often neglect the connection to human metabolism -- the ultimate driver of food demand. Here we use a…
Recent studies have shown the value of mobile phone data to tackle problems related to economic development and humanitarian action. In this research, we assess the suitability of indicators derived from mobile phone data as a proxy for…
This article introduces the HYMN (HYbrid Multi-technology Navigation) dataset: a multi-system, and time synchronized dataset for localization research based on opportunistic signals collected in an indoor-outdoor scenario. HYMN comprises…
Heart failure (HF) is a critical condition in which the accurate prediction of mortality plays a vital role in guiding patient management decisions. However, clinical datasets used for mortality prediction in HF often suffer from an…
Accurate food intake monitoring is crucial for maintaining a healthy diet and preventing nutrition-related diseases. With the diverse range of foods consumed across various cultures, classic food classification models have limitations due…
Public feeding programs continue to be a major source of nutrition to a large part of the population across the world. Any disruption to these activities, like the one during the Covid-19 pandemic, can lead to adverse health outcomes,…
In the day-to-day operations of healthcare institutions, a multitude of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data exchanges occur, exposing the data to a spectrum of cybersecurity threats. This study introduces a federated learning…
As climate change intensifies, the urgency for accurate global-scale disaster predictions grows. This research presents a novel multimodal disaster prediction framework, combining weather statistics, satellite imagery, and textual insights.…
Protecting patient privacy remains a fundamental barrier to scaling machine learning across healthcare institutions, where centralizing sensitive data is often infeasible due to ethical, legal, and regulatory constraints. Federated learning…
As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow, cyberattacks are becoming increasingly common. The security of IoT networks relies heavily on intrusion detection systems (IDSs). The development of an IDS that is accurate and efficient is…
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are critical security mechanisms that protect against a wide variety of network threats and malicious behaviors on networks or hosts. As both Network-based IDS (NIDS) or Host-based IDS (HIDS) have been…
Diet plays a crucial role in managing chronic conditions and overall well-being. As people become more selective about their food choices, finding recipes that meet dietary needs is important. Ingredient substitution is key to adapting…
Survival analysis studies time-modeling techniques for an event of interest occurring for a population. Survival analysis found widespread applications in healthcare, engineering, and social sciences. However, the data needed to train…
Nowadays millions of images are shared on social media and web platforms. In particular, many of them are food images taken from a smartphone over time, providing information related to the individual's diet. On the other hand, eating…
Synthesizing information from multiple data sources is critical to ensure knowledge generalizability. Integrative analysis of multi-source data is challenging due to the heterogeneity across sources and data-sharing constraints due to…
For healthcare datasets, it is often not possible to combine data samples from multiple sites due to ethical, privacy or logistical concerns. Federated learning allows for the utilisation of powerful machine learning algorithms without…
