Early Outbreak Detection for Proactive Crisis Management Using Twitter Data: COVID-19 a Case Study in the US [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 During a disease outbreak, timely non-medical interventions are critical in preventing the disease from growing into an epidemic and ultimately a pandemic. However, taking quick measures requires the capability to detect the early warning signs of the outbreak.

The structure of infectious disease outbreaks across the animal-human interface [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Despite the enormous relevance of zoonotic infections to world- wide public health, and despite much effort in modeling individual zoonoses, a fundamental understanding of the disease dynamics and the nature of outbreaks arising in such systems is still lacking.

Modeling disease spreading with adaptive behavior considering local and global information dissemination [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The study proposes a modeling framework for investigating the disease dynamics with adaptive human behavior during a disease outbreak, considering the impacts of both local observations and global information. One important application scenario is that commuters may adjust their behavior upon observing the symptoms and countermeasures from their ...

Early detection of disease outbreaks and non-outbreaks using incidence data [PDF]
arXivForecasting the occurrence and absence of novel disease outbreaks is essential for disease management. Here, we develop a general model, with no real-world training data, that accurately forecasts outbreaks and non-outbreaks. We propose a novel framework, using a feature-based time series classification method to forecast outbreaks and non-outbreaks ...

A generalized-growth model to characterize the early ascending phase of infectious disease outbreaks [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 A better characterization of the early growth dynamics of an epidemic is needed to dissect the important drivers of disease transmission. We introduce a 2-parameter generalized-growth model to characterize the ascending phase of an outbreak and capture epidemic profiles ranging from sub-exponential to exponential growth.
