Abstract Rapid and accurate identification of high-risk acute gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) patients is essential. We developed two machine-learning (ML) models to calculate the risk in-hospital mortality in admitted due overt GIB. analyzed prospective, multicenter Hungarian GIB Registry’s data. The predictive performance XGBoost CatBoost algorithms with Glasgow-Blatchford (GBS), pre-endoscopic Rockall ABC scores were compared. evaluated our using five-fold cross-validation, was measured...
At many universities, student evaluations of teaching (SET) are used for determining promotion, tenure, and other financial benefits professors, which gives incentive them to try increase their scores. However, previous research, mainly based on US data, indicates that SET scores not only depend effectiveness quality, but also several factors, most notably grades. In this study, we contribute stream literature by investigating the effects grade inflation using four years data from two...
Abstract Pancreatic necrosis is a consistent prognostic factor in acute pancreatitis (AP). However, the clinical scores currently use are either too complicated or require data that unavailable on admission lack sufficient predictive value. We therefore aimed to develop tool aid prediction. The XGBoost machine learning algorithm processed from 2387 patients with AP. confidence of model was estimated by bootstrapping method and interpreted via 10th 90th percentiles prediction scores. Shapley...
High dropout rates and delayed completion in higher education are associated with considerable personal social costs. In Latin America, 50% of students drop out, only the remaining ones graduate on time. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify at risk understand main factors dropping out. Together emergence efficient computational methods, rich data accumulated educational administrative systems have opened novel approaches promote student persistence. order support research related...
Due to the big data accumulated in educational administrative systems and due advance of machine learning techniques, a new scientific discipline has emerged last few years, namely science. An important research objective this field is predict dropout improve graduation rates, particular STEM higher education.The goal study identify students at risk dropping out large Hungarian technical university using predictive analytical tools. We use 10,196 who finished their undergraduate studies...
Complex networks have attracted a great deal of research interest in the last two decades since Watts & Strogatz, Barab\'asi Albert and Girvan Newman published their highly-cited seminal papers on small-world networks, scale-free community structure complex respectively. These fundamental initiated new era establishing an interdisciplinary field called network science. Due to multidisciplinary nature field, diverse but not divided science has emerged past 20 years. This paper honors...
Abstract The fractal nature of complex networks has received a great deal research interest in the last two decades. Similarly to geometric fractals, fractality can also be defined with so-called box-covering method. A network is called if minimum number boxes needed cover entire follows power-law relation size boxes. been associated various properties throughout years, for example, disassortativity, repulsion between hubs, long-range-repulsive correlation, and small edge betweenness...
Abstract This study sheds light on interconnected topic dynamics across traditional news sources and social media platforms, emphasizing the influential role of topicality in shaping content popularity media. Using Latent Dirichlet Allocation BERTopic models, we define sets 120 New York Times (NYT) topics to compare with 899,766 image-with-text memes from Reddit, showing that aligns many same topical patterns observed outlets. Topicality is formalized based temporal distributions over past 5...
