Predicting 850 Job Title Codes Using Hierarchical Classification

Our hierarchical approach uses Major Code, lessening the total codes from 850 to 23. In Major Classification, we used input layer and embedding as well as 2 hidden layers. For Job Title Classification by Major, we used Random Forest to output based on Majority Voting.

Mitigating Class Imbalance by Generating Synthetic Coughs Using WaveGAN

Virufy has created machine learning models that analyze coughs in order to provide a COVID-19 diagnosis. Training these models requires an even balance between COVID-positive and COVID-negative data, but they unfortunately have very little positive data. In order to combat this issue, the team hoped to generate synthetic coughs that closely resemble real coughs.

URMC-COVID Resource Allocation

This project aims to observe, visualize, and model the trends in which COVID-19 patients at the University of Medical Center were allocated ventilators. Descriptive analyses are performed to investigate the relationships between variables such as but not limited to recovery rate and length of ventilator allocation and gender, race, and age.

URMC Geriatric Oncology

This project investigates the associations between geriatric assessment based features and relative dose intensity of chemotherapy. It is at the first few phases of Wilmot Cancer Institute’s Ger Oncology Research team at University of Rochester Medical Center. The team refined the data preprocessing pipeline, built predictive models and employed feature selection on the dataset, providing insightful suggestions for future work in cancer studies.
