• Abstract: The recent global outbreak of covid-19 is affecting many countries around the world. Due to the growing number of newly infected individuals and the health-care system bottlenecks, it will be useful to predict the upcoming number of patients. This study aims to efficiently forecast the is used to estimate new cases, number of deaths, and number of recovered patients in Iran for 180 days, using the official dataset of the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education and the impact of control measures on the spread of COVID-19. Four different types of forecasting techniques, time series, and machine learning algorithms, are developed and the best performing method for the given case study is determined. Under the time series, we consider the four algorithms including Prophet, Long short-term memory, Autoregressive, Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average models. On comparing the different techniques, we found that deep learning methods yield better results than time series forecasting algorithms. More specifically, the least value of the error measures is observed in seasonal ANN and LSTM models. Our findings showed that if precautionary measures are taken seriously, the number of new cases and deaths will decrease, and the number of deaths in September 2021 will reach zero.

  We develop a tensor method to predict the evolution of epidemic trends for many regions simultaneously.

We conduct experiments using both county- and state-level COVID-19 data and show that our model can identify interesting latent patterns of the epidemic.

  We use historical data of COVID-19 infections from 253 regions from the period of 22nd January 2020 until 22nd June 2020. Prediction errors are substantially higher in early stages of the pandemic, resulting from limited data. The more confirmed cases a country exhibits at any point in time, the lower the error in forecasting future confirmed cases.

  We use a recently published improved version of SEIR, which is the classic, established model for infectious diseases. We propose a self-supervised approach to train a deep convolutional network to guess the correct set of ModifiedSEIR model parameters. We find an optimistic result in the case fatality rate for Romania which may be around 0.3% and we also demonstrate that our model is able to correctly predict the number of daily fatalities for up to three weeks in the future.
