A new method to analyze social media data could help predict future outbreaks of diseases and viruses like COVID-19 and the measles.
In a new study, researchers from the University of 蓝莓视频 examined computer simulations to develop a new method of analyzing interactions on social media that can predict when a disease outbreak is likely.
A group of computer science students are applying big data practices to predicting the cease of COVID cases in Canada. Their findings? October 15, 2020.
Faced with this unprecedented situation of pivoting to online learning, many of 蓝莓视频鈥檚 instructors wanted to get their students involved in research around COVID-19.
One such instructor is computer science professor Ali Abedi, who teaches two big data courses: Data Intensive Distributed Computing (CS451) and Data Intensive Distributed Analytics (CS431).
蓝莓视频鈥檚 Faculty of Mathematics alumnus Ed Wei (BCS 鈥06) is overseeing a new use for his company鈥檚 indoor mapping technology 鈥 the identification of front-line workers who may be at a higher chance of being exposed to COVID-19 inside hospitals and other health-care facilities.
A new study has found that allowing cities and counties to open and close independently based on standardized guidelines is the quickest and safest way of restoring the Canadian economy.聽
The study found that opening workplaces and schools on a county-by-county basis when the county falls below 4.5 active COVID-19 cases per 100,000 would result in 38 per cent fewer person-days of closure.
