Researchers introduce EpiEvolve, a self-evolving AI agent that improves pandemic forecasting by adapting to changing disease patterns in real-time streaming scenarios. The system achieves 12% higher accuracy than static models and reduces recovery time after major shifts from 5 weeks to 2 weeks by leveraging episodic memory and strategic rule learning.
Researchers propose a bilayer SIR epidemic model to analyze how synthetic data contamination spreads across AI systems when models train on each other's outputs. Through theoretical analysis, simulations, and GPT-2 experiments, they demonstrate that cross-contamination can sustain itself (R₀ > 1) and identify detection-based filtering as the most effective intervention strategy.
Researchers present a novel stochastic filtering methodology called factored conditional filters for tracking states and estimating parameters in high-dimensional systems. The approach decomposes complex state spaces into lower-dimensional subspaces, enabling efficient computation while maintaining approximation accuracy. Applications include epidemic tracking and parameter estimation in large contact networks.
Researchers have developed a large-scale benchmark dataset for evaluating causal inference methods in epidemic time-series prediction under dynamic interventions. Using calibrated agent-based models grounded in real-world U.S. county data, the benchmark enables testing of causal inference techniques across static and time-varying treatment scenarios with verifiable counterfactual outcomes.
Researchers introduce SL-BiLEM, a machine learning framework that improves epidemic forecasting by accounting for how human behavior changes in response to disease spread and policy interventions. The model uses physical constraints to maintain accuracy even when facing novel policy scenarios, demonstrating 76% improvement over existing neural baselines and potential applications for public health decision-making.
