Hybrid SEIR-TFT framework enhances pandemic forecasting with explainable AI

Researchers have developed a hybrid forecasting framework that combines an SEIR epidemiological model with a Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT) to predict pandemic spread. This approach integrates epidemiological data, intervention signals, mobility, and demographics to provide multi-horizon infection forecasts. By utilizing SHAP analysis, the framework offers transparency into feature contributions and region-specific drivers of disease dynamics, outperforming standalone SEIR models in accuracy and stability. AI

IMPACT This framework offers a more interpretable and accurate approach to pandemic forecasting, potentially aiding public health policy decisions.
