arXiv:2606. 19560v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Seasonal influenza infects millions of people and causes substantial morbidity and mortality in the United States each year, making accurate short-term forecasting a core public-health need.

arXiv:2606. 05513v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Epidemic LLM forecasters are usually trained and evaluated as static supervised models, whereas operational pandemic forecasting is a streaming process in which labels arrive after predictions and disease regimes shift over time.
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 proposes an event-based approach to predict transitions into vineyard disease‑risk periods within a 3–7 day window, rather than daily disease status. It defines events only after a minimum disease‑free gap to reduce label fragmentation and uses multi‑year agro‑meteorological data to capture humidity, rainfall, temperature, and seasonal patterns. Experiments with XGBoost, LSTM, and TCN models show that this formulation improves short‑horizon warning, highlighting trade‑offs among recall, lead time, and false alerts.
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.
arXiv:2603. 07108v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accurate and reliable forecasting of epidemic incidences is critical for public health preparedness, yet it remains a challenging task due to complex nonlinear temporal dependencies and heterogeneous spatial interactions.
The paper introduces TERN, a forecasting model that uses a delta‑rule fast‑weight memory with channel‑wise decay and learned erasure gates, combined with a seasonal reference and online adaptation. It addresses challenges in influenza forecasting such as limited seasonal data, shifting wave patterns, and misleading information after peaks. On three Cola‑GNN influenza benchmarks, TERN outperformed existing epidemic graph models and general forecasters, matching or exceeding seasonal references and demonstrating the value of its memory component.
