NASLOV: Choosing the right counter-measures to stop COVID-19 infections
——————————————————————————————————

POVZETEK: 

A team from Jožef Stefan recently achieved second place in the prestigious international competition — XPRIZE: Pandemic Response Challenge, and doing so, won half of the 500000$ prize fund. The competition was focused on answering very topical questions, such as how different counter-measures (e.g. lockdowns, school closing, etc.) affect the spread of COVID-19 infections and which of them to choose to best fight the pandemic. A member of the winning team will present their solution of using a novel combination of epidemiological models, machine learning and evolutionary algorithms to create one of the world’s best performing models.
