A research team led by the University of California, San Diego, is developing a fast and accurate epidemic modeling tool that can automatically learn from data collected from online platforms and global simulations, and make real-time predictions.
The core technological development is uncertainty quantification (UQ) for graph neural networks (GNNs), a novel DL framework that can learn flexible models on graph-structured data with built-in confidence intervals. In particular, they are focused on developing quantile-regression techniques with physics-guided GNNs. The resulting method will lead to efficient probabilistic spatiotemporal forecasts for disease spreading such as COVID-19.
