- Abstract: Created by volunteers since 2004, OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a global geographic
database available under an open access license and currently used by a
multitude of actors worldwide. This chapter describes the role played by OSM
during the early months (from January to July 2020) of the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic, which - in contrast to past disasters and epidemics - is a global
event impacting both developed and developing countries. A large number of
COVID-19-related OSM use cases were collected and grouped into a number of
research frameworks which are analyzed separately: dashboards and services
simply using OSM as a basemap, applications using raw OSM data, initiatives to
collect new OSM data, imports of authoritative data into OSM, and traditional
academic research on OSM in the COVID-19 response. The wealth of examples
provided in the chapter, including an analysis of OSM tile usage in two
countries (Italy and China) deeply affected in the earliest months of 2020,
prove that OSM has been and still is heavily used to address the COVID-19
crisis, although with types and mechanisms that are often different depending
on the affected area or country and the related communities.

We introduce LMSYS-Chat-1M, a large-scale dataset containing one million real-world conversations with 25 state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs)
This dataset is collected from 210K IP addresses in the wild on our Vicuna demo and Arena website.
We demonstrate its versatility through four use cases: developing content moderation models that perform similarly to GPT-4, building a safety benchmark, training instruction-following models that perform similarly to Vicuna, and creating challenging benchmark questions.

Pandemic-specific discourse has remained on-trend on microblogging platforms such as Twitter and Weibo.
We propose a sentiment-involved topic-based methodology for designing multiple time series from publicly available COVID-19 related Twitter conversations.
We show that the inclusion of social media variables for modeling introduces 48.83--51.38% improvements on RMSE over the baseline models.

This paper aims to figure out the distinctive characteristics of the Greater Region (GR) through conducting a data-driven exploratory study of Twitter COVID-19 information.
We find that tweets volume and COVID-19 cases in GR and related countries are correlated, but this correlation only exists in a particular period of the pandemic.
We plot the changing of topics in each country and region from 2020-01-22 to 2020-06-05, figuring out the main differences between GR and related countries.

We uncover a significant reduction in electricity consumption across that is strongly correlated with the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases, degree of social distancing, and level of commercial activity.
