Detecting COVID-19 Outbreak with Anomalous Term Frequency

Previously many studies have aimed at predicting the trend of a disease through time series forecasting using machine learning methods. However, data extracted from the real world is often noisy, which can pose numerous challenges for directly predicting the trend, and therefore leading to suboptimal prediction results. Furthermore, real-world data is usually very large, that is, having very long time periods. When it comes to data of such scale, trend forecasting becomes intractable even to state-of-the-art forecasting algorithms such as RNN-LSTM. In the past, not much research has been conducted in applying anomaly detection for disease outbreak detection, including the most recent COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, in this research, we propose redefining the problem into outbreak detection, which aims to predict whether a future point is or is not a sign of a large scaled COVID-19 outbreak. Through simplifying a complex regression problem into a binary classification problem, the requirements of the learning model may be decreased and therefore the learning performance may be enhanced

MS FT-2-2 7 Orthogonal polynomials and quadrature: Theory, computation, and applications

Quadrature rules find many applications in science and engineering. Their analysis is a classical area of applied mathematics and continues to attract considerable attention. This seminar brings together speakers with expertise in a large variety of quadrature rules. It is the aim of the seminar to provide an overview of recent developments in the analysis of quadrature rules. The computation of error estimates and novel applications also are described

Engineering Dynamics and Life Sciences

From Preface: This is the fourteenth time when the conference “Dynamical Systems: Theory and Applications” gathers a numerous group of outstanding scientists and engineers, who deal with widely understood problems of theoretical and applied dynamics. Organization of the conference would not have been possible without a great effort of the staff of the Department of Automation, Biomechanics and Mechatronics. The patronage over the conference has been taken by the Committee of Mechanics of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Poland. It is a great pleasure that our invitation has been accepted by recording in the history of our conference number of people, including good colleagues and friends as well as a large group of researchers and scientists, who decided to participate in the conference for the first time. With proud and satisfaction we welcomed over 180 persons from 31 countries all over the world. They decided to share the results of their research and many years experiences in a discipline of dynamical systems by submitting many very interesting papers. This year, the DSTA Conference Proceedings were split into three volumes entitled “Dynamical Systems” with respective subtitles: Vibration, Control and Stability of Dynamical Systems; Mathematical and Numerical Aspects of Dynamical System Analysis and Engineering Dynamics and Life Sciences. Additionally, there will be also published two volumes of Springer Proceedings in Mathematics and Statistics entitled “Dynamical Systems in Theoretical Perspective” and “Dynamical Systems in Applications”
