Episodic sexual transmission of HIV revealed by molecular phylodynamics. by Fraser Lewis, Gareth J Hughes, Andrew Rambaut, Anton Pozniak, Andrew J Leigh Brown

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>Reconstruction of the HIV transmission network using a dated phylogeny approach has revealed the HIV epidemic among MSM in London to have been episodic, with evidence of multiple clusters of transmissions dating to the late 1990s, a period when HIV prevalence is known to have doubled in this population. The quantitative description of the transmission dynamics among MSM will be important for parameterization of epidemiological models and in designing intervention strategies.…”

A Study on Interpretable Electric Load Forecasting Model with Spatiotemporal Feature Fusion Based on Attention Mechanism by Shuaishuai Li, Weizhen Chen

“…Through CNN layered extraction of multi-dimensional space–time features such as meteorology and electricity price, BiLSTM bi-directional modeling time series rely on capturing the evolution rules of load series before and after, and the improved self-attention mechanism dynamically focuses on key features. Combined with the SHAP quantitative feature contribution and feature deletion experiment, a complete chain of “feature extraction time series modeling weight allocation interpretation and verification” is constructed. …”
