Neural Network Augmented Compartmental Pandemic Models
Compartmental models are a tool commonly used in epidemiology for the mathematical modelling of the spread of infectious diseases, with their most popular representative being the Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) model and its derivatives. However, current SIR models are bounded in their capabilities to model government policies in the form of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and weather effects and offer limited predictive power. More capable alternatives such as agent based models (ABMs) are computationally expensive and require specialized hardware. We introduce a neural network augmented SIR model that can be run on commodity hardware, takes NPIs and weather effects into account and offers improved predictive power as well as counterfactual analysis capabilities. We demonstrate our models improvement of the state-of-the-art modeling COVID-19 in Austria during the 03.2020 to 03.2021 period and provide an outlook for the future up to 01.2024.

Pandemic infection forecasting through compartmental model and learning-based approaches
The emergence and spread of deadly pandemics has repeatedly occurred throughout history, causing widespread infections and loss of life. The rapid spread of pandemics have made governments across the world adopt a range …
Non-parametric model-based estimation of the effective reproduction number for SARS-CoV-2
Viral outbreaks, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, are commonly described by compartmental models by means of ordinary differential equation (ODE) systems. The parameter values of these ODE models are typically unkn…
parameter estimationStochastic compartmental models of COVID-19 pandemic must have temporally correlated uncertainties
Compartmental models are an important quantitative tool in epidemiology, enabling us to forecast the course of a communicable disease. However, the model parameters, such as the infectivity rate of the disease, are riddl…
EpidemiologyImpact studies of nationwide measures COVID-19 anti-pandemic: compartmental model and machine learning
In this paper, we deal with the study of the impact of nationwide measures COVID-19 anti-pandemic. We drive two processes to analyze COVID-19 data considering measures. We associate level of nationwide measure with value…
BIG-bench Machine LearningModeling, Inference, and Prediction in Mobility-Based Compartmental Models for Epidemiology
Classical compartmental models in epidemiology often assume a homogeneous population for simplicity, which neglects the inherent heterogeneity among individuals. This assumption frequently leads to inaccurate predictions…
