KDD'20 WORKSHOP
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION:
Challenge on Mobility Intervention for Epidemics
Can you design effective mobility intervention strategies to contain epidemics?
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are hosting a challenge to design mobility intervention strategies to contain an epidemic.
In this challenge, participants can choose different mobility intervention actions for each individual on any given day (e.g., confine in a neighborhood, quarantine at home, isolation from everyone else).
Mobility Intervention Strategies
The microscopic epidemic simulator will run the individual-level epidemic simulation according to the intervention strategy.
The goal is to minimize the number of people who get infected and also to minimize the number of interventions.
Can you come up with the most effective mobility intervention strategy?
Come and participate in the challenge!
The winners can win up to $2000 cash prize and present and publish at our KDD’20 workshop!
