Leveraging Rich Data and Machine Learning to Facilitate Policy Making on
Public Health Interventions in Fighting to Contain the COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstract
This is a short article, focusing on promoting more study on SEIR
modeling by leveraging rich data and machine learning. We believe that
this is extremely critical as many regions at the country or
state/provincial levels have been struggling with their public health
intervention policies on fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. Some recent
published papers on mitigation measures show promising SEIR modeling
results, which could shred the light for other policymakers at different
community levels. We present our perspective on this research direction.
Hopefully, we can stimulate more studies and help the world win this
“war” against the invisible enemy “coronavirus” sooner rather than
later.
