Youyang Gu is the creator of http://covid19-projections.com. In 2020, while most Covid prediction model failed, without any experience in medicine he created a forecasting model that outperforms almost all medical experts. Yann LeCun, Facebook's chief AI scientist and professor stated that Gu's model "is the most accurate to predict deaths from COVID-19", surpassing the accuracy of the well-funded Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation COVID model. It was cited by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in its estimates for U.S. recovery.

Currently, he is a member of the Technical Advisory Group at the World Health Organization. Working on laying the groundwork for a comprehensive, global study to document and analyze differences in levels of mortality attributable to COVID-19 between and within countries.

Today we talked about how he built the model, lessons he learned, his advice for data scientists and what his working on today. If you like the show subscribe to the channel and give us a 5-star review. Subscribe to Daliana's newsletter on www.dalianaliu.com/ for more on data science.
