The Corona virus pandemic is the most tragic virus outbreak in more than a century. Corona has globally already taken the lives of four million people, across all continents. The virus has the potential to become very catastrophic, if a significant part of the world population does not have any form of immunity against it. In this project, the aim is to make forecasts on the number of daily infections in the Netherlands. Seven different models were implemented to forecast the number of infected people in a three-month time period. The sequential CNN model outperformed all other models substantially. The capabilities of CNN models in time series forecasting can be very encouraging in conducting more research on time series data with convolutional neural networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
