Models & Algorithms

    模型与算法

Our group develops reusable epidemic models and reinforcement learning algorithms for spatiotemporal epidemic simulation, risk assessment, intervention evaluation, and intelligent prevention and control. The model resources emphasize transparent simulation components that can be reused for scenario analysis, while the algorithm resources focus on optimization methods for adaptive and cost-aware epidemic control. Together, these resources support reproducible research and public health decision analysis.

本课题组围绕传染病时空建模、风险评估、干预评估与智能防控,持续整理和维护可复用的模型与算法资源。模型资源强调可复用、可解释的仿真组件,算法资源侧重面向多区域、多个体和不完全观测条件的防控策略优化。这些资源可服务于情景推演、干预评估、方法复现与公共卫生决策分析。

Epidemic Models / 传染病模型

Metapopulation ODE Model / 元群体 ODE 模型

The metapopulation ODE model captures epidemic transmission across connected urban regions by coupling compartmental disease dynamics with inter-regional mobility. It can be used to evaluate region-level intervention policies under different transmission scenarios.

该模型通过耦合分区疾病传播动力学与区域间人口流动,刻画城市内部多个区域之间的传播过程,可用于评估不同传播情景下的区域级防控策略。
