Influenza Virus

Influenza viruses pose a significant global health threat, necessitating research focused on accurate prediction of outbreaks and rapid, reliable identification of viral strains. Current research employs machine learning, particularly neural networks (including recurrent and convolutional architectures) and random forests, to analyze diverse data sources such as epidemiological data, web search activity, and viral genetic sequences (e.g., hemagglutinin) from transmission electron microscopy images. These advanced computational methods aim to improve influenza forecasting, enhance diagnostic capabilities, and ultimately contribute to more effective public health interventions.
