After the rise of several different simulation tools that can simulate different aspects of an epidemic, FAVITES provides a framework to simulate an end-to-end epidemic (from contact network generation to infection transmission to viral phylogenies). To increase accessibility, FAVITES-Lite was developed with the key functionalities of FAVITES with the sacrifice of some flexibility. It remains that configuring and analyzing a complicated simulation like FAVITES or FAVITES-Lite can be extremely daunting, so we created example configuration files to help users learn the process behind parameter choice and a graph-visualization web application to help users visualize the results of their simulations.

"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.
