Coronavirus Data Science Research Papers to Read Right Now
As new events become the focal point of news, so does the focus of many researchers. Ranging from automating detection to novel ways of predicting potential outbreak scenarios, these are some trending data science research papers on COVID-19, aka Coronavirus.
Rapidly developed AI-based automated CT image analysis tools can achieve high accuracy in the detection of Coronavirus positive patients as well as quantification of disease burden.
Neural Network aided quarantine control model estimation of COVID spread in Wuhan, China
Is mass quarantine and isolation effective as a social tool in addition to its scientific use as a medical tool? In an effort to address this question, using an epidemiological model-driven approach augmented by machine learning, these researchers show that the quarantine and isolation measures implemented in Wuhan brought down the effective reproduction number
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Classification using CT Images by Machine Learning Methods
This study presents early phase detection of Coronavirus by machine learning methods, implemented on abdominal Computed Tomography (CT) images
By using computer vision and pattern recognition, these researchers have developed a process of detecting COVID-19 that could realistically be used by clinics for important decision-making.
This paper introduces COVID-Net, a deep convolutional neural network design tailored for the detection of COVID-19 cases from chest radiography images that is open source and available to the general public.
COVID-CT-Dataset: A CT Scan Dataset about COVID-19
In this paper, these researchers built a publicly available COVID-CT dataset, containing 275 CT scans that are positive for COVID-19, to foster the research and development of deep learning methods which predict whether a person is affected with COVID-19 by analyzing his/her CTs.
Neural network-based country-wise risk prediction of COVID-19
The recent worldwide outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) opened up new challenges to the research community. AI-driven methods can be useful to predict the parameters, risks, and effects of such an epidemic. This research proposes a shallow Long short-term memory (LSTM)-based neural network to predict the risk category of a country. The researchers use a Bayesian optimization framework to optimize and automatically design country-specific networks.
Detection devices are generally expensive and difficult to obtain, therefore this paper introduces a new framework that is proposed to detect coronavirus disease COVID-19 using onboard smartphone sensors. The proposal provides a low-cost solution, since most of the radiologists have already held smartphones for different daily-purposes.
The use of infectious disease modeling to support public health decision making, referred to in this report as “outbreak science,” has increased in prominence in the past decade. The purpose of this report is to characterize the origin and implications of the disconnect between modelers and public health decision-makers and to develop a plan for the expansion of outbreak science as a capability to support public health.
