This paper introduces a simple, frequently and easily updated, close to the data epidemiological model that has been used for near-term forecast and policy analysis. We provide several practical examples of how the model has been used. We explain the epidemic development in the UK, the USA and...

In this tutorial we introduce recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and we describe the two most popular RNN architectures. These are the long short-term memory (LSTM) network and gated recurrent unit (GRU) network. Their common field of application is time series modeling, and we demonstrate their...
