Researchers have developed TREA-Net, a novel network designed for forecasting dengue incidence in regions with limited historical data. This model augments existing neural forecasting backbones with projections from an Environmental Time-Series Susceptible-Infected-Recovered model, learning a lightweight residual correction that can be transferred from data-rich to data-scarce areas. TREA-Net's design is adaptable to surveillance systems with varying numbers of locations and requires learning only two global parameters for target adaptation. Experiments show TREA-Net improves forecasting accuracy in data-scarce regions like Mexico and Malaysia when knowledge is transferred from countries with more extensive data, such as Colombia and Nicaragua.
