- Abstract summary: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 COVID-19 has been leading the world into a prominent crisis.
As of May 19, 2020, the virus had spread to 215 countries with more than 4,622,001 confirmed cases and 311,916 reported deaths worldwide.
We train a time series Prophet model to analyze and forecast the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in Algeria.

- Abstract: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 COVID-19 has been leading the world into a
prominent crisis. As of May 19, 2020, the virus had spread to 215 countries
with more than 4,622,001 confirmed cases and 311,916 reported deaths worldwide,
including Algeria with 7201 cases and 555 deaths. Analyze and forecast COVID-19
cases and deaths growth could be useful in many ways, governments could
estimate medical equipment and take appropriate policy responses, and experts
could approximate the peak and the end of the disease. In this work, we first
train a time series Prophet model to analyze and forecast the number of
COVID-19 cases and deaths in Algeria based on the previously reported numbers.
Then, to better understand the spread and the properties of the COVID-19, we
include external factors that may contribute to accelerate/slow the spread of
the virus, construct a dataset from reliable sources, and conduct a large-scale
data analysis considering 82 countries worldwide. The evaluation results show
that the time series Prophet model accurately predicts the number of cases and
deaths in Algeria with low RMSE scores of 218.87 and 4.79 respectively, while
the forecast suggests that the total number of cases and deaths are expected to
increase in the coming weeks. Moreover, the worldwide data-driven analysis
reveals several correlations between the increase/decrease in the number of
cases and deaths and external factors that may contribute to accelerate/slow
the spread of the virus such as geographic, climatic, health, economic, and
demographic factors.

Detection [4.478818286947472]
The COVID-19 pandemic has exerted a profound impact on the global economy and continues to exact a significant toll on human lives.
The COVID-19 case growth rate stands as a key epidemiological parameter to estimate and monitor for effective detection and containment of the resurgence of outbreaks.
A fundamental challenge in growth rate estimation and hence outbreak detection is balancing the accuracy-speed tradeoff.
We develop a machine learning algorithm, which we call Transfer Learning Generalized Random Forest (TLGRF), that balances this accuracy-speed tradeoff.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been continuously affecting human lives and communities around the world.
We used multiple data sources, i.e., PubMed and ArXiv, and built several machine learning models to characterize the landscape of current COVID-19 research.
Our findings confirm the types of research available in PubMed and ArXiv differ significantly, with the former exhibiting greater diversity in terms of COVID-19 related issues.

We propose a joint classification and regression method to determine whether the patient would develop severe symptoms in the later time.
To do this, the proposed method takes into account 1) the weight for each sample to reduce the outliers' influence and explore the problem of imbalance classification.
Our proposed method yields 76.97% of accuracy for predicting the severe cases, 0.524 of the correlation coefficient, and 0.55 days difference for the converted time.
