Program
During the two weeks of immersion, participants will take part in short courses and a workshop on precision farming. Oral and poster presentations of the participants will be integrated into the program. The organizing committee is also planning social activities to boost interaction and networking.
Check out the complete program below.
SHORT COURSES
(October 15 to 19, 2024)
Big data and digital tools applied to livestock production
This short course is designed for researchers working in all areas of animal sciences, including nutrition and physiology, management, genetics, and reproduction in both industry and academia. The short course is particularly suitable for those interested in data analytics and precision management of livestock. Statisticians, computer scientists, and data scientists who want to learn about potential applications in animal science can also benefit from these short courses.
This short course will cover key concepts and techniques related to statistics and machine learning applied to high-dimensional data in livestock, including data from sensors, imaging, genomics, farm-recorded data from management software, and publicly available datasets. The sessions will include expository lectures and demos with real data and useful software and algorithms that will be shared with the participants.
Instructors:
Dr. Guilherme Rosa (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
Dr. Joao Dorea (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
Combination of precision livestock farming data and mathematical models to response to environmental perturbations
This short course will discuss in depth how to deal with perturbations. There will be a session with 2 examples dealing with combination of precision livestock farming data and mathematical models to phenotype animal response to environmental perturbations.
