GraphScan: Detection and Analysis of Free-Form Spatio-Temporal Patterns
Content Type: Abstract
By capturing the spatio-temporal organization of the data using a graph, GraphScan avoids the challenges associated with trying to “fit” incoming data into moving windows of predefined shapes and sizes. Whereas the popular space-time permutation… read more -

Although norovirus (NoV) is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis (ewinter vomiting diseaseÃ), its contribution to mortality remains unknown and may be an unrecognized problem [1]. In Europe a genetic shift in circulating NoV strains was… read more -
GUARDIAN: Geographic Utilization of Artificial Intelligence in Real-Time for Disease Identification and Notification
Content Type: Abstract
Real-time disease surveillance is critical for early detection of the covert release of a biological threat agent (BTA). Numerous software applications have been developed to detect emerging disease clusters resulting from either naturally occurring… read more
