Welcome to the AI4Casting Hub
Welcome to the AI4Casting Hub, an innovative initiative under the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (CEPS) at the University of Guelph. We are thrilled to embark on this groundbreaking journey and invite you to join us and help to shape the future of public health forecasting and preparedness.
Who we are
The AI4Casting Hub is a collaborative effort led by the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Guelph. Building on the expertise of Ontario Public Health, the US CDC, and many other researchers in the field, our team is committed to advancing public health through cutting-edge forecasting models.
What we do
At AI4Casting, we harness the power of mathematical, statistical and computational models to provide continuous forecasting for both endemic and emerging human diseases. Our work focuses on public policy and public knowledge, through individual and ensemble forecasting using publicly available data. Supported by an Alliance Society grant co-funded by NSERC and Sanofi, we aim to advance the state of the art in quantifying and predicting the spread of disease, incorporating the human behavioural factors that influence it. Our goal is to support Public Health planning and pandemic preparedness, thereby reducing the impact of diseases like influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and COVID-19. We hope you will join us in this exciting endeavour!
