Abstract: The ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic is affecting every facet of human lives (e.g., public health, education, economy, transportation, and the environment). This novel pandemic and citywide implemented lockdown measures are affecting virus transmission, people's travel patterns, and air quality. Many studies have been conducted to predict the COVID-19 diffusion, assess the impacts of the pandemic on human mobility and air quality, and assess the impacts of lockdown measures on viral spread with a range of Machine Learning (ML) techniques. This review study aims to analyze results from past research to understand the interactions among the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdown measures, human mobility, and air quality. The critical review of prior studies indicates that urban form, people's socioeconomic and physical conditions, social cohesion, and social distancing measures significantly affect human mobility and COVID-19 transmission. during the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are inclined to use private transportation for necessary travel purposes to mitigate coronavirus-related health problems. This review study also noticed that COVID-19 related lockdown measures significantly improve air quality by reducing the concentration of air pollutants, which in turn improves the COVID-19 situation by reducing respiratory-related sickness and deaths of people. It is argued that ML is a powerful, effective, and robust analytic paradigm to handle complex and wicked problems such as a global pandemic. This study also discusses policy implications, which will be helpful for policymakers to take prompt actions to moderate the severity of the pandemic and improve urban environments by adopting data-driven analytic methods.

The current epidemic of COVID-19 has influenced more than 2,164,111 persons and killed more than 146,198 folks in over 200 countries across the globe. The fundamental difficulties of AI in this situation is the limited availability of information and the uncertain nature of the disease. Here in this article, we have tried to integrate AI to predict the infection outbreak and along with this, we have also tried to test whether AI with help deep learning can recognize COVID-19 infected chest X-Rays or not.

Human Behavior in the Time of COVID-19: Learning from Big Data [71.26355067309193]
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.

The aim of this work is to investigate any possible relationships between air quality and confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Italian districts. We report an analysis of the correlation between daily COVID-19 cases and environmental factors, such as temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pollutants. This suggests that machine learning models trained on the environmental parameters to predict the number of future infected cases may be accurate.

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 show that there is a unidirectional Granger causality, from the median percentage of time spent daily at home to the daily number of COVID-19-related deaths with a lag of 2 weeks.

We use the SEIR epidemiological model to represent the evolution of the virus COVID-19 over time in the population. The sequences of actions (confinement, self-isolation, two-meter distance or not taking restrictions) are evaluated according to a reward system. We prove that our methodology is a valid tool to discover actions governments can take to reduce the negative effects of a pandemic in both senses.
