Interested in avian influenza modelling? Two papers are available in pre-print on the topic (in English).

1. Predicting Avian Influenza Hotspots in the U.S. Using Logistic Regression and Random Forest with Augmented Data via Empirical Distribution Method and Stochastic Variational Inference
2. A Systematic Review of Mathematical and Machine Learning Models of Avian InfluenzaA Systematic Review of Mathematical and Machine Learning Models of Avian Influenza

The work was done in collaboration with Dr. Jude Kong and his group, the Canadian Animal Health Surveillance System and World Organisation for Animal Health.

The connection with Dr. Jude Kong began when he spoke at the AHC Forum 2024. Dr. Kong is a Canadian Research Chair in Community-Oriented Artificial Intelligence and Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Disease. The CAHSS team has been meeting with him and his team weekly to create connections to animal health surveillance.
