"The book, nonetheless, is written clearly and easy to follow. Rather than deep into the methodology, it leans toward analytical applications with several real data analyses and case studies ... which should facilitate engaging a broader audience and sparking interest. ... this book provides a good introduction and overview of the computational approaches in COVID- 19-related research ... which may be of particular value to those interested in applying ML/AI solutions to public health and medicine."
