Everywhere I looked, people were talking about numbers: about statistics of total infections in one country versus another, about the mortality rate, about the “R” value.
Fake news plays a big role in our work. In our research, we hypothesise that fake news actually spreads differently than genuine news. We believe that our model of Luxembourg’s Twitter community will demonstrate this is the case.
This research will lay the technological foundations for an app that will help keep cardiovascular patients safe during the COVID-19 crisis.
Our tool uses machine learning techniques to analyse public data and deliver hypothetical projections of how different isolation measures will impact the spread of coronavirus in more than 100 countries around the world.
The supercomputer’s vast computing power and storage capacities were used for enabling and accelerating COVID-19 research in the areas of biomedical and life sciences, ICT and material sciences.
Maintaining physical distance in public areas is a crucial element to help stem the spread of the disease, and yet it is challenging to monitor where and when it is being implemented effectively.
