The mainstream compartmental models require stochastic parameterization to estimate the transmission parameters between compartments, which depends upon detailed statistics on epidemiological characteristics that are economically and resource-wide expensive to collect. As an alternative, deep learning techniques are effective in estimating these stochastic parameters with greatly reduced dependency on data particularity. We apply deep learning to estimate transmission parameters of a customized compartmental model, then feed the estimated transmission parameters to the compartmental model to predict the development of the Omicron epidemics in China for 28 days. The average levels of predication accuracy of the model are 98% and 92% for number of infections and deaths, respectively.

"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.
