COVID-19

• • • COVID-19 Open Research Dataset Challenge (CORD-19) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic

The primary goal of Kaggle’s COVID-19 effort is to find factors that impact the transmission of COVID-19 (particularly those that map to the NASEM/WHO open scientific questions). You've already shown great results in producing meaningful insights to help address the pandemic! We have two new challenges for you this week to continue these efforts:

COVID-19 Global Forecasting Challenge (Week 2) COVID-19 Dataset Challenge About these challenges Forecasting: The primary goal is not only to forecast accurately, but to find factors that impact transmission rate of COVID-19. You are encouraged to pull in, curate, and share data sources that might be helpful. If you find variables that look like they impact the transmission rate, please share your findings in a notebook. Datasets: Kagglers will need to find, curate, share -- and join -- useful public datasets. You can review the relevant threads for sharing datasets and discussing dataset ideas to get an idea of the types of things that Kagglers find most useful. For this challenge we are only considering public datasets on Kaggle. Acknowledgments John Hopkins University CSSE for making the data available to the public and the White House OSTP for pulling together the key open questions.
