The source of individual heterogeneity shapes infectious disease outbreaks

Baptiste Elie et al.

Summary: There is heterogeneity in infectious disease transmission patterns between individuals, which can affect epidemiological dynamics. Studies have found that heterogeneity in the number of secondary cases decreases the probability of outbreak emergence, and more realistic infection duration distributions lead to faster outbreaks and higher epidemic peaks. The impact of heterogeneity depends on the underlying evolutionary model when parasites require adaptive mutations for large epidemics. These findings emphasize the importance of accounting for realistic distributions of transmission rates in epidemiological dynamics.

Control of COVID-19 outbreak using an extended SEIR model

Sean T. McQuade et al.

Summary: This paper aims to predict the situation of COVID-19 in New Jersey using a SEIR model and proposes a more refined model, which includes measures such as social distancing, testing, contact tracing and quarantining, to minimize the economic cost of the pandemic. The proposed model allows for finding optimal strategies by implementing various non-pharmaceutical interventions and studying different scenarios and likely initial conditions.

Optimal Immunity Control and Final Size Minimization by Social Distancing for the SIR Epidemic Model

Pierre-Alexandre Bliman et al.

Summary: This article explores how to apply partial or total containment to the SIR epidemic model during a given finite time interval in order to minimize the epidemic final size. The existence and uniqueness of an optimal strategy are proven, with the best policy being to apply maximal social distancing effort until the end of the interval. Theoretical results and numerical simulations demonstrate a significant decrease in the epidemic final size.

How best can finite-time social distancing reduce epidemic final size?

Pierre-Alexandre Bliman et al.

Summary: By studying the SIR epidemic model, it is found that minimizing the epidemic final size can be achieved by maximizing social distancing measures. The optimal solution involves enforcing the highest confinement level for the longest allowed period, resulting in the best possible performance in reducing the total number of individuals infected during the outbreak.

Identification and prediction of time-varying parameters of COVID-19 model: a data-driven deep learning approach

Jie Long et al.

Summary: This paper employs a variant of physics-informed neural network to identify time-varying parameters of the COVID-19 transmission model, and uses Long Short-Term Memory neural network to predict future parameter changes. The accuracy and effectiveness of parameter learning are validated through computing model solutions and effective reproduction numbers. The numerical simulations show that the combination of PINN and LSTM produces accurate and effective results.

On closures for reduced order models-A spectrum of first-principle to machine-learned avenues

Shady E. Ahmed et al.

Summary: Reduced order models (ROMs) have been a fundamental discipline of theoretical fluid mechanics for over a century, evolving from early mathematical models and Galerkin models to the innovative data-driven modeling approach. The impact of data-driven modeling, artificial intelligence, and machine learning has significantly changed the standard ROM methodology over the last two decades. The development of ROM closures, which aim to model the effect of discarded ROM modes in under-resolved simulations, demonstrates the ongoing reshaping of the field of reduced order modeling through state-of-the-art data-driven modeling techniques.

An Integrated Neural Network and SEIR Model to Predict COVID-19

Sharif Noor Zisad et al.

Summary: The novel coronavirus, originating from Wuhan, China, has spread rapidly globally, with Bangladesh using an integrated model to predict and evaluate the spread of the virus. The model combines SEIR epidemiological model and neural networks, showing high accuracy in predicting confirmed cases and outperforming the general SEIR model in Bangladesh.
