Over the past few years, surgical data science has attracted substantial interest from the machine learning (ML) community. Various studies have demonstrated the efficacy of emerging ML techniques in analysing surgical data, particularly recordings of procedures, for digitising clinical and non-clinical functions like preoperative planning, context...

Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) remains one of the main contributors to urban pollution and its impact on climate change cannot be overemphasised. Experts in developed countries strive to make optimal use of traffic and air quality data to gain valuable insights into its effect on public health. Over the years, the research community has devel...

The ability to automatically detect and track surgical instruments in endoscopic videos can enable transformational interventions. Assessing surgical performance and efficiency, identifying skilled tool use and choreography, and planning operational and logistical aspects of OR resources are just a few of the applications that could benefit. Unfort...

In recent times, surgical data science has emerged as an important research discipline in interventional healthcare. There are many potential applications for analysing endoscopic surgical videos using machine learning (ML) techniques such as surgical tool classification, action recognition, and tissue segmentation. However, the efficacy of ML algo...

The construction of intercity highways by the government has resulted in a progressive increase in vehicle emissions and pollution from noise, dust, and vibrations despite its recognition of the air pollution menace. Efforts that have targeted roadside pollution still do not accurately monitor deadly pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and particula...

Rainfall forecasting has gained utmost research relevance in recent times due to its complexities and persistent applications such as flood forecasting and monitoring of pollutant concentration levels, among others. Existing models use complex statistical models that are often too costly, both computationally and budgetary, or are not applied to do...

The construction industry is known to be overwhelmed with resource planning, risk management and logistic challenges which often result in design defects, project delivery delays, cost overruns and contractual disputes. These challenges have instigated research in the application of advanced machine learning algorithms such as deep learning to help...

Over the years, the world has moved towards an unprecedented level of urbanisation as half of the world's total population live in cities. This trajectory of rapid urbanisation has greatly improved the modern economy as well as the standard of living. However, this fast-rising trend has also generated many new problems on the existing city infrastr...
