This brief methods paper is being published concomitantly with "Preliminary Incidence and Trends of Infections Caused by Pathogens Transmitted Commonly Through Food-- Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, 10 U.S. Sites, 2016-2021" in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports (MMWR). That article describes the application of the new model described here to analyze trends and evaluate progress towards the prevention of infection from enteric pathogens in the United States.

Matching journals

The top 2 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
