• Abstract: Dengue fever is one of the most deadly mosquito-born tropical infectious diseases. Detailed long range forecast model is vital in controlling the spread of disease and making mitigation efforts. In this study, we examine methods used to forecast dengue cases for long range predictions. The dataset consists of local climate/weather in addition to global climate indicators of Singapore from 2000 to 2019. We utilize newly developed deep neural networks to learn the intricate relationship between the features. The baseline models in this study are in the class of recent transformers for long sequence forecasting tasks. We found that a Fourier mixed window attention (FWin) based transformer performed the best in terms of both the mean square error and the maximum absolute error on the long range dengue forecast up to 60 weeks.

The model is trained to predict 2km data from a regional weather model over Taiwan, conditioned on a 25km global reanalysis.

We use the weekly number of new cases as temporal input, and hand-engineered spatial features from Facebook to capture the spread of the disease in time and space. Over the 4-week forecast horizon, our model is on average 50 cases per county more accurate than the COVIDhub-ensemble.
