An AI model for Rapid and Accurate Identification of Chemical Agents in Mass Casualty Incidents
In this report we examine the effectiveness of WISER in identification of a chemical culprit during a chemical based Mass Casualty Incident (MCI). We also evaluate and compare Binary Decision Tree (BDT) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) using the same experimental conditions as WISER. The reverse engineered set of Signs/Symptoms from the WISER application was used as the training set and 31,100 simulated patient records were used as the testing set. Three sets of simulated patient records were generated by 5 the Signs/Symptoms of each chemical record. While all three methods achieved a 100 of: 1.8 dimensional reduction using ANN illustrated a dimensional collapse from 79 variables to 40 with little loss of classification performance.
