Book Description

This Research Topic is a follow on from the Topic Editors' successful volume I. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the ability to perform automated/case-based reasoning, constraint processing, deep learning, and deep reinforcement learning. Recent advancements in AI techniques and GPU (graphics processing unit) computing capabilities have made it possible to process large volumes of data and extract valuable insights within a short period. Digital public health data are enormous, and harnessing AI's power can lead to exciting and ground-breaking research. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, AI can assist in disease surveillance methods, infectious disease modeling, non-contact temperature screening, intelligent contact tracking, detecting social/economic factors on transmission, effective health communication and misinformation detection, identifying factors that affect the mental and emotional health of the public.
