• Abstract: COVID-19 pandemic has brought the whole world to a stand-still over the last few months. In particular the pace at which pandemic has spread has taken everybody off-guard. The Governments across the world have responded by imposing lock-downs, stopping/restricting travel and mandating social distancing. On the positive side there is wide availability of information on active cases, recoveries and deaths collected daily across regions. However, what has been particularly challenging is to track the spread of the disease by asymptomatic carriers termed as super-spreaders. In this paper we look at applying Hidden Markov Model to get a better assessment of extent of spread. The outcome of such analysis can be useful to Governments to design the required interventions/responses in a calibrated manner. The data we have chosen to analyze pertains to Indian scenario.

  Since March 2020, there have been over 600 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and more than six million deaths. The pandemic has impacted and even changed human behavior in almost every aspect. Researchers have been employing big data techniques such as natural language processing, computer vision, audio signal processing, frequent pattern mining, and machine learning.

  This paper presents findings from a global survey on the extent of worldwide exposure to the COVID-19 infodemic. We find a strong association between perceived believability of misinformation and vaccination hesitancy. We discuss implications of our findings on public campaigns that proactively spread accurate information to countries that are more susceptible to the infodemic.

  This paper proposes a Modified SEIRD (Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered-Deceased) model for projecting COVID-19 infections in India. The projections obtained from the proposed Modified SEIRD model have also been compared with the projections made by LSTM for next 30 days. The results presented in this paper will act as a beacon for future policy-making to control the COVID-19 spread in India.

  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.
