Using data science along with machine learning to determine the ARIMA model’s ability to adjust to irregularities in the dataset

Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models are known for their influence and application on time series data. This statistical analysis model uses time series data to depict future trends or values: a key contributor to crime mapping algorithms. However, the models may not function to their true potential when analyzing data with many different patterns. In order to determine the potential of ARIMA models, our research will test the model on irregularities in the data. Our team hypothesizes that the ARIMA model will be able to adapt to the different irregularities in the data that do not correspond to a certain trend or pattern. Using crime theft data and an ARIMA model, we determined the results of the ARIMA model’s forecast and how the accuracy differed on different days with irregularities in crime.

Propagation of representation bias in machine learning

Propagation of representation bias in machine learning

Using facial recognition as a use-case scenario, we attempt to identify sources of bias in a model developed using transfer learning. To achieve this task, we developed a model based on a pre-trained facial recognition model, and scrutinized the accuracy of the model’s image classification against factors such as age, gender, and race to observe whether or not the model performed better on some demographic groups than others. By identifying the bias and finding potential sources of bias, his work contributes a unique technical perspective from the view of a small scale developer to emerging discussions of accountability and transparency in AI.

Advancing pediatric cancer predictions through generative artificial intelligence and machine learning

Pediatric cancers pose unique challenges due to their rarity and distinct biological factors, emphasizing the need for accurate survival prediction to guide treatment. This study integrated generative AI and machine learning, including synthetic data, to analyze 9,184 pediatric cancer patients, identifying age at diagnosis, cancer types, and anatomical sites as significant survival predictors. The findings highlight the potential of AI-driven approaches to improve survival prediction and inform personalized treatment strategies, with broader implications for innovative healthcare applications.
