Survival prediction is an important problem that is encountered widely in industry and medicine. Despite the explosion of artificial intelligence technologies, no uniformed method allows the application of any type of regression learning algorithm to a survival prediction problem. Here, we present a statistical modeling method that is generalized to all types of regression learning algorithm, including deep learning. We present its empirical advantage when it is applied to traditional survival problems. We demonstrate its expanded applications in different types of regression learning algorithm, such as gradient boosted trees, convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks. Additionally, we demonstrate its application in clinical informatic data, pathological images and the hardware industry. We expect that this algorithm will be widely applicable for diverse types of survival data, including discrete data types and those suitable for deep learning such as those with time or spatial continuity.

Background: This study aimed to examine how physician performance metrics are affected by the speed of other attendings (co-attendings) concurrently staffing the ED.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using patient data from two EDs between January-2018 and February-2020. Machine learning was used to predict patient length of stay (LOS) conditional on being assigned a physician of average speed, using patient- and departmental-level variables.

Background: Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as valuable tools in medical education and practice. The Chinese National Nursing Licensing Examination (CNNLE) presents unique challenges for LLMs due to its requirement for both deep domain-specific nursing knowledge and the ability to make complex clinical decisions, which differentiates it from more general medical examinations. However, their potential application in the CNNLE remains unexplored.

Transfer learning aims to integrate useful information from multi-source datasets to improve the learning performance of target data. This can be effectively applied in genomics when we learn the gene associations in a target tissue, and data from other tissues can be integrated. However, heavy-tail distribution and outliers are common in genomics data, which poses challenges to the effectiveness of current transfer learning approaches.

Hydrological prediction in ungauged basins often relies on the parameter transplant method, which incurs high labor costs due to its dependence on expert input. To address these issues, we propose a novel hydrological prediction model named STH-Trans, which leverages multiple spatiotemporal views to enhance its predictive capabilities. Firstly, we utilize existing geographic and topographic indicators to identify and select watersheds that exhibit similarities.
