Artificial Intelligence for Malaria (and Infectious Diseases) Modelling in Brazil and Latin America (AIMM 2024)


Join us for a three-day intensive training organized by the Statistical Leaning Laboratory (SaLLy; www.SaLLy.ufba.br) and the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), sponsored by the Applied Malaria Modelling Network (AMMnet; https://ammnet.org/), aiming to equip participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to employ artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, including machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), in modeling malaria (and infectious diseases in general) spread and intervention strategies in Brazil and Latin America. This training aligns with AMMnet’s mission, leveraging advanced ML and DL methodologies to enhance disease surveillance, prediction, and control efforts, ultimately contributing to reducing malaria transmission and burden in the region.

Dates: August 28-30, 2024

Time: From 09:00 to 16:45 every day

Venue: Hebe de Azevedo Biagioni Auditorium, Institute of Mathematics, Statistics and Scientific Computing (IMECC), Rua Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, 651, 13083-859, Campinas, SP, Brazil. https://www.ime.unicamp.br/administracao/informacoes-para-visitantes/como-chegar


Join us in revolutionizing malaria research with Artificial Intelligence! Together, we can make a difference in the fight against malaria and other infectious diseases in Brazil and Latin America!
