Global Prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Among Children and Youth: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

TL;DR: The global prevalence of FASD among children and youth in the general population was estimated to be 7.7 per 1000 population (95% CI, 4.9-11.6 per 1000), and the global mean prevalence weighted by the number of live births in each country was estimated as mentioned in this paper.

Analysis of the Generalization Error: Empirical Risk Minimization over Deep Artificial Neural Networks Overcomes the Curse of Dimensionality in the Numerical Approximation of Black--Scholes Partial Differential Equations

TL;DR: The development of new classification and regression algorithms based on empirical risk minimization (ERM) over deep neural network hypothesis classes, coined deep learning, revolutionized the area of deep learning.

On Multilevel Picard Numerical Approximations for High-Dimensional Nonlinear Parabolic Partial Differential Equations and High-Dimensional Nonlinear Backward Stochastic Differential Equations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a family of approximation methods based on Picard approximations and multilevel Monte Carlo methods and showed under suitable regularity assumptions on the exact solution of a semilinear heat equation that the computational complexity is bounded by
