Dynamic Vaccine Allocation for Control of Human-Transmissible Disease by Mingdong Lyu, Chang Chang, Kuofu Liu, Randolph Hall

“…Our study develops a dynamic methodology for vaccine allocation, segmented by region, age, and timeframe, using a time-sensitive, age-structured compartmental model. Based on the objective of minimizing a weighted sum of deaths and cases, we used the Sequential Least Squares Quadratic Programming method to search for a locally optimal COVID-19 vaccine allocation for the United States, for the period from 16 December 2020 to 30 June 2021, where regions corresponded to the 50 states in the United States (U.S.). …”

ARK: Aggregation of Reads by K-Means for Estimation of Bacterial Community Composition. by David Koslicki, Saikat Chatterjee, Damon Shahrivar, Alan W Walker, Suzanna C Francis, Louise J Fraser, Mikko Vehkaperä, Yueheng Lan, Jukka Corander

“…These methods typically rely on summarizing the sequence data by frequencies of low-order k-mers and matching this information statistically with a taxonomically structured database. Here we show that the accuracy of the resulting community composition estimates can be substantially improved by aggregating the reads from a sample with an unsupervised machine learning approach prior to the estimation phase. …”
