Augmenting Disease Surveillance Capabilities Leveraging Large Language Models
FY 2023-24 · 2023-10-01
Summary
Create a system that unites official disease reporting from ministry of health sites around the world including those regions called blind spots by leveraging recent advances in artificial intelligence in particular LLMs (LLM is a machine-learning neuro network trained through data input/output sets), machine learning and other artificial intelligence methodologies to gather and extract pertinent information to infectious disease surveillance. We will be gathering indicator-based surveillance data from different types of sources commonly used by Ministries of Health (such as tabular data and PDFs).

Description
Create a system that unites official disease reporting from ministry of health sites around the world including those regions called blind spots by leveraging recent advances in artificial intelligence in particular LLMs (LLM is a machine-learning neuro network trained through data input/output sets), machine learning and other artificial intelligence methodologies to gather and extract pertinent information to infectious disease surveillance. We will be gathering indicator-based surveillance data from different types of sources commonly used by Ministries of Health (such as tabular data and PDFs).
Description (French)
Créer un système qui rassemble les rapports officiels sur les maladies provenant des sites des ministères de la Santé du monde entier, y compris les régions appelées «angles morts», en tirant parti des progrès récents de l’intelligence artificielle, en particulier des GML (GML est un réseau neurologique d’apprentissage automatique formé à partir d’ensembles d’entrées/sorties de données), de l’apprentissage automatique et d’autres méthodologies d’intelligence artificielle pour recueillir et extraire des informations pertinentes pour la surveillance des maladies infectieuses. Nous recueillerons des données de surveillance basées sur des indicateurs à partir de différents types de sources couramment utilisées par les ministères de la Santé (comme des données tabulaires et des PDF).
