Congratulations to Carlin Foka from Cameroon 🇨🇲 on receiving an academic excellence award from AIMS South Africa! As a MSc student at Stellenbosch University, his math and machine learning skills uncovered climatic and environmental links to #arbovirus transmission in Africa. #AIforscience


So proud of our "AI in Science" MSc students graduating today from AIMS South Africa. During some intense months, we were able to explore solving complex questions in Epidemiology using ML and AI methods thanks to these bright young minds! Excited for what will come from this.



Mila à Dakar pour le Deep Learning Indaba ! Ce week-end, une délégation de représentant·e·s de Mila prendront part au prestigieux Deep Learning Indaba où ils et elles présenteront leurs recherches innovantes et participeront à un programme de mentorat. #DLI2024 #Indaba2024


Xam Xamlé - Deep Learning Indaba Dimanche débutera à Dakar la 6ème édition du plus grand événement africain dédié à l’IA avec pour thème « Xam Xamlé » : acquérir la connaissance et la partager ! 🗓En partenariat avec le @MICTEN221, nous organiserons mardi cette table ronde ⬇️



Oh wow Sara Hooker it's so nice to see you on the TIME cover! From me and everyone at Deep Learning Indaba, congratulations! 👏

A big thank you to the entire team on site at Deep Learning Indaba for brilliantly representing the expertise and excellence of our institute! Mila is proud to be part of an inclusive and diverse machine learning community. #DLI2024 #Indaba2024


Big data and AI are revolutionizing pathogen genomics, providing vital insights for public health. We're proud to continue our partnership with AIMS South Africa, working on various students projects at Stellenbosch University led by Houriiyah Tegally, PhD 🇲🇺! #BigData #AI #PathogenGenomics


Thank you to AIMS South Africa alumni Emily Muller who first described AIMS 🇿🇦 to me this way! Students live and eat at study and attend lectures together, all under the same roof. It is intense!!




A great short course thanks to Imperial College London at AIMS South Africa 🇿🇦, open to all 😀! 🗓️ 24th - 28th March 2025 in Muizenberg 🌊☀️


A great piece in Nature with colleagues from Univ of Oxford & Copenhagen on how AI can advance the infectious diseases epidemics field! Proud of the head of our Data Science program, Dr. Houryiiah Tegally Houriiyah Tegally, PhD 🇲🇺 to be part of the team in this scientific paper!


Excited to share that our paper "Bridging the human–AI knowledge gap through concept discovery and transfer in AlphaZero" is now out in PNAS! With Nenad Tomasev, Tom McGrath, Demis Hassabis, Ulrich Paquet, Been Kim 🎉 📄 doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…
