• Abstract: Malaria continues to be a major public health problem on the African continent, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Nonetheless, efforts are ongoing, and significant progress has been made. In Burundi, malaria is among the main public health concerns. In the literature, there are limited prediction models for Burundi. We know that such tools are much needed for interventions design. In our study, we built machine-learning based models to estimates malaria cases in Burundi. The forecast of malaria cases was carried out at province level and national scale as well. Long short term memory (LSTM) model, a type of deep learning model has been used to achieve best results using climate-change related factors such as temperature, rainfal, and relative humidity, together with malaria historical data and human population. With this model, the results showed that at country level different tuning of parameters can be used in order to determine the minimum and maximum expected malaria cases. The univariate version of that model (LSTM) which learns from previous dynamics of malaria cases give more precise estimates at province-level, but both models have same trends overall at provnce-level and country-level

  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.
