Multi-Agent Systems in Emergency Departments: Validation Study on a ED Digital Twin

Emergency departments (ED) face challenges in patient care and resource management. We propose to explore optimization strategies in a realistic and flexible model and develop a hybrid Discrete Event Simulation (DES) and Agent-Based Model (ABM) simulating highly configurable ED environments. We specifically focus on the validation of the modeling approach. We derive configurations for ED sizes, patient load, and staffing from real-world studies. We then validate the model expressivity by matching its key performance indicators and metrics with their values known from literature. We proceed by implementing scientifically established and practice-proven resource optimization strategies. Comparing the documented real-world outcomes with our model's results demonstrates that the DES-ABM based simulation can effectively replicate real-world ER dynamics under interventions. We lastly integrate a Proof-of-Concept multi-agent system (MAS) that can autonomously explore resource allocation strategies within the simulated ER environment based on a temporal ledger of ED event records. This modular DES-ABM-MAS framework offers a powerful tool to explore resource optimization strategies in emergency departments.

Generative Adversarial Networks and Other Generative Models

Generative networks are fundamentally different in their aim and methods compared to CNNs for classification, segmentation, or object detection. They have initially not been meant to be an image analysis tool, but to produce naturally looking images. The adversarial training paradigm has been proposed to stabilize generative methods, and has proven to be highly successful -- though by no means from the first attempt. This chapter gives a basic introduction into the motivation for Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and traces the path of their success by abstracting the basic task and working mechanism, and deriving the difficulty of early practical approaches. Methods for a more stable training will be shown, and also typical signs for poor convergence and their reasons. Though this chapter focuses on GANs that are meant for image generation and image analysis, the adversarial training paradigm itself is not specific to images, and also generalizes to tasks in image analysis. Examples of architectures for image semantic segmentation and abnormality detection will be acclaimed, before contrasting GANs with further generative modeling approaches lately entering the scene. This will allow a contextualized view on the limits but also benefits of GANs.

Risk Estimation of SARS-CoV-2 Transmission from Bluetooth Low Energy Measurements

Digital contact tracing approaches based on Bluetooth low energy (BLE) have the potential to efficiently contain and delay outbreaks of infectious diseases such as the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. In this work we propose a novel machine learning based approach to reliably detect subjects that have spent enough time in close proximity to be at risk of being infected. Our study is an important proof of concept that will aid the battery of epidemiological policies aiming to slow down the rapid spread of COVID-19.
