Introduction

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (13), has become an unprecedented public health crisis. Coronavirus Resource Center at Johns Hopkins University of Medicine has reported a total of 23,638 deaths as worldwide COVID-19 infections surpass 500,000 (as of 5 PM EST on March 26, 2020). On March 16, 2020, the White House, collaborating with research institutes and tech companies, issued a call to action for global artificial intelligence (AI) researchers for developing novel text and data-mining techniques to assist COVID-19-related research.
