COVID-19 - Data Science and Expertise

Explore a 22-minute conference talk from GOTO Chicago 2020 that delves into data science applications for COVID-19 prediction. Learn about two projects: predicting county-level COVID cases in the United States and detecting COVID using chest x-rays. Gain insights into predictive modeling techniques, the importance of subject matter expertise in model validation, and the use of AutoML to lower barriers in AI implementation. Discover how socio-economic data is utilized for daily predictions, and understand the process of evaluating and explaining COVID-19 models. The presentation also covers the use of chest x-ray data and COVID embeddings in prediction efforts. Enhance your understanding of data science's role in addressing the global pandemic through real-world examples and expert analysis.
