Bringing underserved communities life-saving aid through aerial logistics.

Science robotics
Autonomous drone delivery of medical supplies has improved access to health care for local communities in Africa.

Culturally competent social robots target inclusion in Africa.

Science robotics
Embedding culturally sensitive body, hand, and facial gestures in social robots will make them more acceptable in Africa.

Deep learning hybrid model for analyzing and predicting the impact of imported malaria cases from Africa on the rise of Plasmodium falciparum in China before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Plasmodium falciparum cases are rising in China due to the imported malaria cases from African countries. The main goal of this study is to examine the impact of imported malaria cases in African countries on the rise of P. falciparum cas...

First fully-automated AI/ML virtual screening cascade implemented at a drug discovery centre in Africa.

Nature communications
Streamlined data-driven drug discovery remains challenging, especially in resource-limited settings. We present ZairaChem, an artificial intelligence (AI)- and machine learning (ML)-based tool for quantitative structure-activity/property relationship...

Africa's readiness for artificial intelligence in clinical radiotherapy delivery: Medical physicists to lead the way.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
BACKGROUND: There have been several proposals by researchers for the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology due to its promising role in radiotherapy practice. However, prior to the introduction of the technology, there are certain g...

The ROCEEH Out of Africa Database (ROAD): A large-scale research database serves as an indispensable tool for human evolutionary studies.

PloS one
Large scale databases are critical for helping scientists decipher long-term patterns in human evolution. This paper describes the conception and development of such a research database and illustrates how big data can be harnessed to formulate new i...

Harnessing the power of AI: Advanced deep learning models optimization for accurate SARS-CoV-2 forecasting.

PloS one
The pandemic has significantly affected many countries including the USA, UK, Asia, the Middle East and Africa region, and many other countries. Similarly, it has substantially affected Malaysia, making it crucial to develop efficient and precise for...

Deep learning approaches to landmark detection in tsetse wing images.

PLoS computational biology
Morphometric analysis of wings has been suggested for identifying and controlling isolated populations of tsetse (Glossina spp), vectors of human and animal trypanosomiasis in Africa. Single-wing images were captured from an extensive data set of fie...

Development potential of nanoenabled agriculture projected using machine learning.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
The controllability and targeting of nanoparticles (NPs) offer solutions for precise and sustainable agriculture. However, the development potential of nanoenabled agriculture remains unknown. Here, we build an NP-plant database containing 1,174 data...

Multi-task machine learning improves multi-seasonal prediction of the Indian Ocean Dipole.

Nature communications
As one of the most predominant interannual variabilities, the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) exerts great socio-economic impacts globally, especially on Asia, Africa, and Australia. While enormous efforts have been made since its discovery to improve both...
