AI For Wildlife

AI for life, uses ACE2 receptor & S protein structure of animals to find the virus carrier and also potential animals which can get infected then mapping it to provide risky or to protect zones

Comment

Inspiration

The inspiration behind this started with finding the source of this whole COVID19 issue and also reading news about how wildlife are getting affected in Africa

What it does

The Machine learning, learns the protein structure of different animals, so we do data minining of those proteins structures, then map it with ACE2 to find which animals could be easily be a transmitter or animals which could be infected. The other part of the application maps the wildlife spread in any given country. The third module matches the protein list with map and provides red zones. The application of this can be used in two areas 1) To find areas which are red zones, or areas which could be risky so an alerts can be triggered by mapping recent death rates of any place and association of its disease 2) To find areas which are red zones, to protect the wild life by isolating animals or in future if there is a vaccine founded then animals(elephants) in that zone could be protected with plan.

How I built it

The app is still in development, we built it using the team of developers, designers and Big data analyst We used Python for Backend development, nodejs, d3 for Front end mapping and 3D data visualisation.

Challenges I ran into

The data mining of different areas, data accuracy are biggest challenges, the more data we mine in the better the ML will be.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We learned that mapping protein level of animals to potential carriers and to geography location is a complex logic which we figured out. We also found out that this could be used for any other COVID related disease

What I learned

We are technical people, by doing this project we learned a lot about animal protein structure and also a lot about how much endangered species in wildlife needs to be protected

What's next for AI For Wildlife

Improving data accuracy, improving infrastructure to support big data minning, getting advice from virologist.
