AO_SCPLOWBSTRACTC_SCPLOWRt plays a key role in the development of the COVID-19 pandemic. The methods used for building an interactive website for the visualization of the time-varying reproduction number Rt and a novel way to visualize the time delay from infection to estimation overlayed with the Rt estimate are described and analyzed with regards to the influence of parameters chosen and compared to published estimates for Austria. Visualizing the time delays enables the interactive exploration of suspected changes in transmission and their effect on the Rt estimate.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
