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.

Weekly influenza surveillance counts guide vaccine distribution and public-health alerts, yet they are hard to forecast. Each region offers only a few seasons, waves shift in timing and height every y...

The paper introduces the Continuous Evolution Pool (CEP), a replay‑free framework for online time series forecasting that tackles recurring concept drift. CEP maintains a dynamic pool of specialized forecasters, using lightweight statistical genes to identify concepts, spawn new models when distribution shifts occur, and prune obsolete ones under memory limits. Experiments on real‑world datasets show CEP reduces forecasting error by up to 24% compared to state‑of‑the‑art baselines, especially in scenarios with pronounced recurring drift.
