As the COVID-19 pandemic sweeps the globe, big data and AI have emerged as crucial tools for
everything from diagnosis and epidemiology to therapeutic and vaccine development.
In this talk, we collect and review how big data is fighting back against COVID-19. We also provide a deep diving
for two interesting use cases: 1) Use NLP and BERT to answer scientific questions. 2) Covid-19 data
lake from Databricks, Google and Amazon
Agenda:
