Epidemicity indices and reproduction numbers from infectious disease data in connected human populations

Andrea Rinaldo, Cristiano Trevisin, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

We focus on distinctive data-driven measures of the fate of ongoing epidemics. The relevance of our pursuit is suggested by recent results proving that the short-term temporal evolution of infection spread is described by an epidemicity index related to th ...

Geographic clusters of objectively measured physical activity and the characteristics of their built environment in a Swiss urban area

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Marco André Vieira Ruas, Cédric Gubelmann

Introduction Evidence suggests that the built environment can influence the intensity of physical activity. However, despite the importance of the geographic context, most of the studies do not consider the spatial framework of this association. We aimed t ...

A geographical study of (M)over-bar(2)(P-2, 4)(main)

Francesca Carocci

We discuss criteria for a stable map of genus two and degree 4 to the projective plane to be smoothable, as an application of our modular desingularisation of (M) over bar (2,n)(P-r, d)(main) via logarithmic geometry and Gorenstein singularities. ...

Instance norm improves meta-learning in class-imbalanced land cover classification

Devis Tuia, Marc Conrad Russwurm

Distribution shift is omnipresent in geographic data, where various climatic and cultural factors lead to different representations across the globe. We aim to adapt dynamically to unseen data distributions with model-agnostic meta-learning, where data sa ...
