Advancing Pandemic Preparedness in Healthcare 5.0: A Survey of Federated Learning Applications by Saeed Hamood Alsamhi, Ammar Hawbani, Alexey V. Shvetsov, Santosh Kumar

“…Specifically, FL offers the potential to revolutionize pandemic preparedness within Healthcare 5.0 in several vital ways: it enables collaborative learning from distributed data sources without compromising individual data privacy, facilitates decentralized decision-making by empowering local healthcare institutions to contribute to a collective knowledge pool, and enhances real-time surveillance, enabling early detection of outbreaks and informed responses. We start by laying out the concepts of FL and Healthcare 5.0, followed by an analysis of current pandemic preparedness and response mechanisms. …”

“…We used Thematic Analysis to identify themes and subthemes.Results: Thematic analysis yielded four significant themes for process evaluation: (1) The quality of the new intervention modified prolonged exposure was considered satisfactory through training and supervision and delivered with good adherence to the manual, although some therapists perceived the manual as too rigid; (2) Adoption dynamics within the SACs are complex and include both enthusiasm for clinical research as well as resistance to change; (3) Narrow inclusion criteria and burden with participation for patients may limit reach and representativeness of the RCT; (4) Unintended consequences were identified, such as delayed start, conflicting advices and cross-contamination, underscoring the ongoing necessity for process evaluation alongside RCTs.Conclusion: This qualitative process evaluation offers insight into real-world clinical challenges with implementing a new intervention and conducting a multisite RCT within SACs in Norway. …”

Monthly Runoff Prediction with RVM and SVM Optimized by Singular Spectrum Analysis and Gradient-Based Optimization Algorithm by LIANG Xiaoxin, CUI Dongwen

“…According to the idea of sequence decomposition-parameter optimization-subitem prediction-result superposition,we construct a medium and long-term monthly runoff prediction model integrating singular spectrum analysis (SSA)-gradient-based optimization (GBO) algorithm with correlation vector machine (RVM) and support vector machine (SVM).To start with,SSA is conducted to process the monthly runoff data of the example and thereby extract multiple independent subsequences.Then,the principle of the GBO algorithm is expounded,and the GBO algorithm is simulated and tested with 6 typical functions.The GBO algorithm is applied to optimize the RVM kernel width factor and hyperparameters as well as the SVM penalty factor and kernel function parameters.SSA-GBO-RVM and SSA-GBO-SVM models are built to predict each subsequence,which is subsequently superimposed to serve as the final monthly runoff prediction result. …”
