Show abstract
We introduce a model to interpret discordant SARS-CoV-2 test results and estimate that an individual receiving a positive rapid antigen test followed by a negative Nucleic Acid Amplification Test had only a 12-24% chance of being infected in the United States from March 2020 to May 2022.

"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.
