COVID-19 Open Research Dataset Challenge (CORD-19)

An AI challenge with AI2, CZI, MSR, Georgetown, NIH & The White House

(1) FULL-LENGTH PROJECT

Dataset Description

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the White House and a coalition of leading research groups have prepared the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19). CORD-19 is a resource of over 44,000 scholarly articles, including over 29,000 with full text, about COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, and related corona viruses. This freely available dataset is provided to the global research community to apply recent advances in natural language processing and other AI techniques to generate new insights in support of the ongoing fight against this infectious disease. There is a growing urgency for these approaches because of the rapid acceleration in new coronavirus literature, making it difficult for the medical research community to keep up.

Call to Action

We are issuing a call to action to the world’s artificial intelligence experts to develop text and data mining tools that can help the medical community develop answers to high priority scientific questions. The CORD-19 dataset represents the most extensive machine-readable coronavirus literature collection available for data mining to date. This allows the worldwide AI research community the opportunity to apply text and data mining approaches to find answers to questions within, and connect insights across, this content in support of the ongoing COVID-19 response efforts worldwide. There is a growing urgency for these approaches because of the rapid increase in coronavirus literature, making it difficult for the medical community to keep up.

A list of our initial key questions can be found under the Tasks section of this dataset. These key scientific questions are drawn from the NASEM’s SCIED (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Standing Committee on Emerging Infectious Diseases and 21st Century Health Threats) research topics and the World Health Organization’s R&D Blueprint for COVID-19.

Many of these questions are suitable for text mining, and we encourage researchers to develop text mining tools to provide insights on these questions.

In this project, you will follow your own interests to create a portfolio worthy single-frame viz or multi-frame data story that will be shared in your presentation. You will use all the skills taught in this course to complete this project step-by-step, with guidance from your instructors along the way. You will first create a project proposal to identify your goals for the project, including the question you wish to answer or explore with data. You will then find data that will provide the information you are seeking. You will then import that data into Tableau and prepare it for analysis. Next, you will create a dashboard that will allow you to explore the data in-depth and identify meaningful insights. You will then give structure to your data story by writing the story arc in narrative form. Finally, you will consult your design checklist to craft the final viz or data story in Tableau. This is your opportunity to show the world what you’re capable of – so think big, and have confidence in your skills!

Using the project guidelines and the attached summary for this project, you will develop a detailed comparative analysis of cloud vendors and their services. A comparative analysis provides an item-by-item comparison of two or more alternatives, processes, products, or systems. In this case, you will compare the pros/cons of the cloud service providers in terms of security, ease of use, service models, services/tools they provide, pricing, technical support, cloud service providers’ infrastructure, and architecture model.

You will present your findings to the owner of the company in a PowerPoint presentation with 10 to 20 slides. Use the Cloud Presentation Template.

Presentation Guidelines

Your presentation should be comprised of the following:

· One to two slides on the company profile.

· One to two slides on what the company is struggling with.

· One to two slides on current infrastructure.

· Three to six slides on the top three cloud services providers. Include their service models (i.e., SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), services/tools/solutions (i.e., compute, storage, database, developer tools, analytics tools, networking and content delivery, customer engagement), pricing, accessibility, technical support for companies, global infrastructure.

· One to two slides on a recommended cloud service provider based on the comparative analysis and the cloud vendor’s abilities to meet the service needs of the company.

· One slide on the conclusion.

How   Will My Work Be Evaluated?

As a professional, you will likely make   presentations to customers, client audiences, and management. By summarizing   your results and recommendations in an effective presentation, you are   demonstrating how you use your technical knowledge to convey your ideas to   others in a professional setting. Your ability to express recommendations to   decision makers with the right mix of technical detail in an accepted format   is an important workplace and career skill.

The following evaluation criteria aligned   to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:

· 1.1.1: Articulate the main idea and   purpose of a communication.

· 1.1.2: Support the main idea and purpose   of a communication.

· 2.1.1: Identify the issue or problem   under consideration.

· 2.2.2: Evaluate sources of information on   a topic for relevance and credibility.

· 2.3.1: State conclusions or solutions   clearly and precisely.

· 10.1.1: Identify the problem to be   solved.

· 10.1.2: Gather project requirements to   meet stakeholder needs.

· 10.1.3: Define the specifications of   required technologies.

· 13.1.1: Create documentation appropriate   to the stakeholder.

· 13.2.1: Evaluate vendor recommendations   in the context of organization requirements.

Topic: Assume that you have been tasked by your employer to develop an incident response plan. Create a list of stakeholders for the IR planning committee. For each type of stakeholder, provide the reasons for inclusion and the unique aspects or vision that you believe each of these stakeholders will bring to the committee.

 After reading about the idea of freedom of online speech, discuss the following: Should internet content be censored? Explain using examples. Should an internet provider be liable for the content that appears online? Why or why not? Use recent, relevant examples from the news to support your position.
