Learning Outbreak Regions for Bayesian Spatial Biosurveillance
Content Type: Abstract
This work incorporates model learning into a Bayesian framework for outbreak detection. Our method learns the spatial characteristics of each outbreak type from a small number of labeled training examples, assuming a generative outbreak model with… read more… data prevent learning a multinomial distribution over all possible regions, while simpler models (e.g. uniform … of MBSS, with and without region learning, on simulated dis- ease outbreaks injected into real-world Emergency …
