Covid-19 has become a wide field of scientific research. Starting from biology to bioinformatic solutions, Artificial Intelligence has contributed in turn as a powerful tool for tracking and predicting the outbreak of Covid-19 using different types of datasets. Chest X-ray images are widely used in computer vision applications and Time series datasets are used for predicting the spread of the novel coronavirus. Graph analytics is a recent field of study that links the mathematical definition and operations of a graph to its application in computer science as a complex data structure, this combination has played a critical role in making graph-based applications present in different fields. One of the most powerful graph analytics is community detection which is an intelligent and unsupervised grouping of a set of graph structured data using the similarity between them. The aim of this work is to highlight the importance of graph-based algorithms in tracking Covid-19 using time series datasets, our work will also focus on Spectral Clustering (SC) as a community detection approach to extract clusters from the input datasets. Further applications are needed in order to validate the proposed theoretical approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
