Bringing data science and AI/ML tools to infectious disease research
Event Fund workshop organised by the H3D Foundation and Ersilia Open Source Initiative
Welcome to the hands-on workshop on Artificial Intelligence methods for Drug Discovery!
This GitBook contains all the necessary information to follow the course, as well as links to the relevant materials.
Each day is organised in four main activities:
- Keynote Lecture: a presentation by H3D and Ersilia staff introducing key concepts that we will put into practice during the day. It will include a 15 min Q/A section
- Skills Workshop: a hands-on training where the course facilitators will walk the participants through a specific ML exercise
- Breakout: participants will be divided in small groups to complete an exercise related to the skills workshop
- Group Discussion: each group will give a short (10 min) presentation on their breakout activity.

To attend the course, participants will need:
