This book presents intelligent data analysis as a tool to fight against COVID-19 pandemic. The intelligent data analysis includes machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision applications to teach computers to use big data-based models for pattern recognition, explanation, and prediction. These functions are discussed in detail in the book to recognize (diagnose), predict, and explain (treat) COVID-19 infections, and help manage socio-economic impacts. It also discusses primary warnings and alerts; tracking and prediction; data dashboards; diagnosis and prognosis; treatments and cures; and social control by the use of intelligent data analysis. It provides analysis reports, solutions using real-time data, and solution through web applications details.
