Twenty papers published by the learners and instructors of Great Learning as a part of their Capstone projects have been featured by the World Health Organization (WHO) in their global literature on the Coronavirus disease. Great Learning is a leading global edtech company for professional learning and higher education.
The papers were written during the first and the second peak of COVID-19, and cover a host of topics including forecasting COVID 19 in India using several machine learning models, detecting the severity of COVID-19 through chest X-rays, predicting the hospital beds utilisation for COVID-19 in Telangana, forecasting vaccination drive in India for herd immunity and effectiveness of lockdowns in Karnataka during the second wave.
With this development, Great Learning becomes the first and only Indian edtech company whose learners’ capstone projects have been listed by WHO under global literature.
