Temporal Reasoning in Clinical Narratives: From Information Extraction to Early Disease Detection
Timely and accurate prediction of chronic disease risk, such as Type 2 Diabetes, requires models that can reason over complex, longitudinal clinical narratives. This thesis presents a unified framework for temporally grounded patient modeling that integrates structured event representations, …

Successful cognitive aging: Implications of early Alzheimer's disease detection, lifestyle choices, and environmental factors
… as to why one seventy-year-old has Alzheimer's disease and another continues to work productively carries with it profound societal implications. Determining the antecedents in one's life which shape his or her cognitive aging trajectory may allow for an increase in those who remain healthy and …

Advancing Explainability in Multi-Label Classification for Tomato Disease Detection Using Machine Learning Interpretability Techniques
<p>Plant diseases pose a significant threat to global food security, affecting crop yield, quality, and overall agricultural productivity. Traditionally, diagnosing plant diseases has relied on timeconsuming visual inspections by experts, which can often lead to errors. With the rapid growth of …

A Unified Framework for Distributed and Resource-Aware Plant Disease Detection Using Federated and Adaptive Hybrid Deep Learning
<p>Plant disease detection in precision agriculture must operate under significant computational constraints, particularly in low-resource (LR) environments such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and edge devices. While LR models enable efficient real-time inference, they often lack the …

The use of infrared thermography and behavioural and physiological responses as early disease indicators in calves
Disease is widely acknowledged to be detrimental to an animal’s welfare and generates significant economic losses. To minimise the impact of disease on animal welfare and consequently reduce economic costs, early disease detection is essential for promoting earlier diagnosis, treatment and …
