Iwaspoisoned expressed great satisfaction in being chosen to present at the 2023 IAFP conference. Their presentation was scheduled for Monday, July 17th at 1:30 PM in room 717, as a segment of IAFP's Technical Session #6. The topic of our presentation, "Machine Learning, AI, and Confirmation Bias in Crowdsourced Foodborne Illness Reporting," explored the utilization of crowdsourced data in probing foodborne illness outbreaks, discussing its benefits and challenges. Here is the

The International Association for Food Protection (IAFP) is dedicated to advancing global food safety. Its annual conference attracts over 4,000 professionals, researchers, and educators in food safety, creating a forum for knowledge sharing and learning about recent industry developments. Each year, numerous papers are submitted to IAFP, but only a select few are chosen for presentation through a rigorous review process.
