HOW NEXT-GENERATION INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES
TACKLED COVID-19

• Artificial Intelligence
• Big Data
• Cloud Computing
• Blockchain

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR EXTRA INTELLIGENCE

A.I. is not only being used to track the disease but also to help diagnose it

A new A.I. algorithm developed by the Chinese tech giant Alibaba can
detect COVID-19 infections from CT scans of patients’ chests with 96% 7

accuracy in a matter of seconds! (B. Mesko & P. Dhunnoo, 2020)

 MIT’s AI-powered device lets doctors
monitor coronavirus patients remotely

IMPLEMENTATION OF DATA MINING COVID-19
LARGE-SCALE DATA IS EVERYWHERE!

§ There has been enormous

data growth in both E-Commerce
commercial and scientific Cyber Security
databases due to advances
in data generation and
collection technologies
§ New mantra
Traffic Patterns Social Networking: Twitter
Gather whatever data you can
whenever and wherever possible
§ Expectations
Gathered data will have value
either for the purpose collected or 10
for a purpose not envisioned. Sensor Networks Computational Simulations
WHY DATA MINING? COMMERCIAL VIEWPOINT
• Lots of data is being collected
and warehoused
• Web data
• Yahoo has Peta Bytes of web data
• Facebook has billions of active users
• purchases at department/
grocery stores, e-commerce
• Amazon handles millions of visits/day
• Bank/Credit Card transactions
• Computers have become cheaper and more powerful
• Competitive Pressure is Strong
• Provide better, customized services for an edge (e.g. in Customer
Relationship Management)
11
 WHY DATA MINING? SCIENTIFIC VIEWPOINT
• Data collected and stored at
enormous speeds
• remote sensors on a satellite
• NASA EOSDIS archives over
petabytes of earth science data / year
fMRI Data from Brain Sky Survey Data
• telescopes scanning the skies
• Sky survey data
• High-throughput biological data

• scientific simulations
Gene Expression Data
• terabytes of data generated in a few hours

• Data mining helps scientists

12
• in automated analysis of massive datasets
Surface Temperature of Earth
• In hypothesis formation
GREAT OPPORTUNITIES TO SOLVE SOCIETY’S MAJOR PROBLEMS

Improving health care and reducing costs Predicting the impact of climate change

13

Reducing hunger and poverty by

Finding alternative/ green energy sources increasing agriculture production
DATA MINING TASKS
• Prediction Methods
• Use some variables to predict unknown or future values of other
variables.

• Description Methods
• Find human-interpretable patterns that describe the data.

CONCLUSION

• Pandemi COVID-19 telah mempengaruhi kehidupan

masyarakat dunia dan membuat orang lebih kreatif agar dapat
bertahan ditengah wabah ini.
• Teknlologi Informasi dan Komunikasi berperan sangat penting
dalam menghadapi Pandemi COVID-19. Olehnya itu perlu
kesiapan Teknologi (Technology readiness)
• Beberapa Teknologi yang mengambil peran masa pandemi
antara lain AI, Big Data, Cloud computing, dll.
