Of those, 431 to 647 thousand were hospitalized and 36,400 to 61,200 (most of them elderly and children) succumbed to the disease. At the time of this writing, the best known defense against influenza is vaccination. However, due to the annual mutation of the very many strands of the flu virus, new vaccines must be administered every flu season. Hence, the prediction of the rate of growth in reported infection cases of each strand of the flu is paramount to ensuring the correct supply of vaccines per strand. Machine learning - specifically Neural Networks - are a great tool for making future predictions using existing data. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks are utilized by Santa Clara University's EPIC (Ethical, Pragmatic, and Intelligent Computing) and BioInnovation & Design laboratories for continued research and development of a tool named eVision (Epidemic Vision) to predict the trend of influenza cases throughout the flu season. eVision has been trained on data gathered across 4 flu seasons from the 2014–15 season to the 2017–18 season of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) records as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) and Google Trends search result data gathered across the same period of time. eVision has been able to make 7 weeks in advance predictions about the flu trend in the 2018–19 United States flu season with 90.15% accuracy. This paper is to report the achievements of eVision thus far and to delineate next phases for the project which aims to provide a tool for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries to more accurately predict the trend of flu (and other) epidemics in order to meet the demands for vaccines and test kits ahead of time.","PeriodicalId":286271,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE / ITU International Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Good (AI4G)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125589023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We outline an interdisciplinary program of research into the use of artificial intelligence techniques to support measurement of the SDIs, using both machine learning methods to model SDI measurements and explainable AI techniques to present the outputs in a human-friendly manner. As well as addressing the technical concerns, we will investigate the governance issues of what forms of evidence, methods of collecting that evidence and means of its communication will most usefully inform effective policy development. By addressing these fundamental challenges, we aim to provide policy makers with the evidence needed to take effective action towards realising the Sustainable Development Goals.","PeriodicalId":286271,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE / ITU International Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Good (AI4G)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121991195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have been working with the bottle classification facility to enhance the efficiency and productivity. Many used bottles come in with unimaginable ways of dirty, defective conditions. To manage the sheer volume of used bottles, we create an AI-enabled, bottle classification system. However, it requires many labelled images for training to improve accuracy. Unfortunately, the traditional approach, having human label individual images, is very time consuming. Even worse, it is not effective for our dataset because conditions of used bottles are not well defined and studied. From our experiments, the human experts cannot agree on the same labelling for similar bottle conditions, especially when impurities or defects are not separable objects. For 42%-99% of images in certain subcategories, human experts assign different labels to bottles with similar conditions. With huge inconsistency in data labelling, it deteriorates the accuracy of our classification models. To alleviate this problem, we propose a Dynamic, AI-assisted, Scalable System for Labelling used bottle images, called DASSL. DASSL employs multiple algorithms to extract and/or quantize different features of used bottle images, and cluster the images into groups with the supervision of human. With DASSL, we can achieve labelling consistency and improve scalability by reducing the data labelling time by at least 10x. To enhance agility, we can dynamically adjust DASSL to adapt to changes of cleaning machines' capabilities or bottle demand.","PeriodicalId":286271,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE / ITU International Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Good (AI4G)","volume":"166 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115565153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially, investigations were made on the concepts of artificial intelligence, the different types of chatbots and the tools needed to build the prototype. Subsequently, an analysis of the chosen tool and programming language was elaborated. After that, the development of the application and the configuration of the platforms began. Considering how a chatbot can spread information, including good practices about plant health and agriculture, this project can contribute to food security, increasing productivity and fighting against waste, helping to achieve UN SDG number 2 - zero hunger.","PeriodicalId":286271,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE / ITU International Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Good (AI4G)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114741741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper the algorithm of Tom Mitchell is employed as a kind of software that manages the updated inputs in order to anticipate a possible crisis in terms of probabilities. Thus, while sensors are enough accurate to measure a variable, the algorithm is able to make predictions about the worse scenarios of diabetes crisis. When this information is monitored inside an Internet of Bio-nano Things network, patients might be assisted in the shortest times, by avoiding irreversible complications in their health. Therefore, a health services operator acquires capabilities to minimize risks and make fast and precise decisions with minimal errors either from clinicians and instruments.","PeriodicalId":286271,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE / ITU International Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Good (AI4G)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124706150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
