Title: Robot dance: using optimization in pandemic simulations

YouTube Recording

Abstract: 

In this talk we will present the Robot Dance framework that allow us to use ideas from control and simulation in mathematical epidemiology models. This allows us not only to simulate the model with fixed parameters but also to capture possible natural variations on parameters that appears in situations like fitting past data when different social distancing measures were taken, simulate the response to a spike in the number of case that would result into adoption of non-pharmacological mitigation, design optimal vaccinations campaigns, etc. Further information

About AI4PAN Artificial Intelligence for Pandemics Seminar Series centred at UQ

Welcome to AI4PAN, the Artificial Intelligence for Pandemics group centered at The University of Queensland (UQ). The group's focus is the application of data science, machine learning, statistical learning, applied mathematics, computation, and other "artificial intelligence" techniques for managing pandemics both at the epidemic and clinical level.
