Malaria is thought to have had the greatest disease burden throughout human history, while it continues to pose a significant but disproportionate global health burden. With 50% of the world’s population at risk of malaria infection. Sub Saharan Africa is most affected, with 90% of all cases.

Malaria is thought to have had the greatest disease burden throughout human history, while it continues to pose a significant but disproportionate global health burden. With 50% of the world’s population at risk of malaria infection. Sub Saharan Africa is most affected, with 90% of all cases. Through this KDD Cup|Humanity RL track competition we are looking for participants to apply machine learning tools to determine novel solutions which could impact malaria policy in Sub Saharan Africa. Specifically, how should combinations of interventions which control the transmission, prevalence and health outcomes of malaria infection, be distributed in a simulated human population..
