Not sure what exactly those 300 engineers are working on. Could you please clarify how do you guys work?

@pavlo_kuznetsov there are 10 tasks that WhiteHouse presented to the AI community, we've decided to focus on 4 that are most impactful and feasible for us to help. We are crawling through 30,000 scientific papers using AI/ML to extract actionable insights right now. And we have long term plans such as building predictive models to identify risk factors, showcase potential risks of smoking/diabetes, one group is solely focused on vaccine research piece.

@arturkiulian Cool! Thanks for doing this. How do you guys find new people for the team?

@pavlo_kuznetsov here comes PH, got interviewed by NYTimes and QZ.com this week, hopefully articles come out soon, meanwhile wrote medium article to spread the word. So far we've been limited to Kaggle AI community

@arturkiulian @pavlo_kuznetsov This is how! If you're interested, head over to coronawhy.org and hit "Join". Though we're focused on data analysis there are vital tasks ranging from project management and record keeping through to social media engagement and outreach.

Great idea and a possibility to stay at home and make this staying more useful .

@alexl89 100%, so many people lost their jobs/workload and are waiting for something to do, that's exactly what this is.

@arturkiulian for sure. You can be a coach potato or a home activist instead and do some good things - like this project.

An amazing initiative on helping research community tackle COVID-19. It is primarily focused on AI/ML solutions to help with the current medical data and insights but it's growing fast and actively recruits non-technical volunteers to help.
