Progress in inclusive household surveys has strengthened socioeconomic evidence for forcibly displaced populations, providing indispensable benchmarks on living conditions and welfare. However, these...
The paper presents a transfer‑learning approach that adapts a multimodal spatiotemporal vision transformer, originally trained on Demographic and Health Survey data, to estimate socioeconomic conditions in forced‑displacement settings. Using satellite‑derived geospatial covariates, the adapted model explains up to 66% of variation in socioeconomic outcomes in camp‑intersecting grids and 41% in non‑camp areas, achieving mean absolute errors of 4.37 and 5.41 index points respectively. This framework supplements periodic household surveys by providing regularly updated, spatially granular socioeconomic estimates that bridge data gaps between survey rounds.
arXiv:2511. 23276v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Effective HFMD surveillance requires forecasts capturing both time-series patterns and contextual drivers such as school calendars, weather, and policy or surveillance reports.

The paper introduces Influpaint, a denoising diffusion probabilistic model adapted for forecasting influenza incidence. By representing influenza seasons as spatiotemporal images and training on a hybrid dataset of surveillance and simulated trajectories, the model learns a rich distribution of disease dynamics and performs forecasting as a conditional generation task. In retrospective and real‑time evaluations, Influpaint produces realistic, diverse epidemic trajectories and achieves forecast accuracy competitive with leading ensemble methods, especially when trained with 30% surveillance and 70% simulated data.
