The proposed Meta-learning Gradient Booster (Meta-ED) approach leverages four foundational learners, including Catboost, Random Forest, Extra Tree, and lightGBoost, alongside a dependable top-level learner, Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). This novel method aims to precisely forecast daily Emergency Department (ED) visits by combining the unique capabilities of varied base models. The study evaluates the efficacy of Meta-ED through an extensive comparative analysis involving 23 models, showcasing notable superiority in accuracy at 85.7% and across a range of evaluation metrics.

The researchers developed a new way to predict when people will visit emergency departments using artificial intelligence. They combined different learning methods to create a model that is more accurate than others. This new approach, called Meta-ED, was tested by comparing it with other popular techniques. The results showed that Meta-ED did better than the others in predicting how many people would visit the emergency department.
