1 Objective: COVID 19 Forecasting
As the covid-19 pandemic is changing the world as we know it, a fundamental problem facing the medical and research community is short/medium term forecasting of covid-19 data (cases, hospitalizations, intensive care bed and deaths). In this project you will build a covid-19 data forecasting engine using neural networks and python.
Guidelines:
You can choose whatever country you want. You can also choose more than one country or the world at large.
You can choose whatever output(s) you want to predict: cases, hospitalizations, intensive care occupancy, etc.
You can choose whatever sources for input you want. These may include past data of cases, mobility data, population density data, healthcare data (e.g. vitamin D intake, BCG vaccine), social network data (e.g. geolocated sentences that indicate symptoms), etc. Be creative on what source you use. Some potential sources can be found here:
