• Abstract: In this work, we introduce Virology-Informed Neural Networks (VINNs), a powerful tool for capturing the intricate dynamics of viral infection when data of some compartments of the model are not available. VINNs, an extension of the widely known Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), offer an alternative approach to traditional numerical methods for solving system of differential equations. We apply this VINN technique on a recently proposed hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection dynamics model to predict the transmission of the infection within the liver more accurately. This model consists of four compartments, namely uninfected and infected hepatocytes, rcDNA-containing capsids, and free viruses, along with the consideration of capsid recycling. Leveraging the power of VINNs, we study the impacts of variations in parameter range, experimental noise, data variability, network architecture, and learning rate in this work. In order to demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of VINNs, we employ this approach on the data collected from nine HBV-infceted chimpanzees, and it is observed that VINNs can effectively estimate the model parameters. VINNs reliably capture the dynamics of infection spread and accurately predict their future progression using real-world data. Furthermore, VINNs efficiently identify the most influential parameters in HBV dynamics based solely on experimental data from the capsid component. It is also expected that this framework can be extended beyond viral dynamics, providing a powerful tool for uncovering hidden patterns and complex interactions across various scientific and engineering domains.
