@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 @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.

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.

Strongly support the idea, but the timing is now. Thus, it will be great if your initial results will help to fight the current pandemic of COVID-19 I’m writing this because the “research” word usually associated with “years”, while the pandemic is already here.

@ianatiev exactly, I feel like we are creating a much more efficient research vehicle than ever existed, things that take typical companies/institutions months - happen in a week.

Vital work on global coordination of data analysis efforts on COVID-19. An extraordinary and dedicated volunteer community with a place for anyone willing to roll up their sleeves and work, getting involved at CoronaWhy has been life changing, and I think will be world changing.

@daniel_lindenberger Daniel is playing a key role at managing the chaos right now and forming some form of process that can be replicated for further tasks, and he needs YOUR help if you have management/agile/etc experience
