Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The development of epidemiological curve models is one of the key factors in the combat of epidemiological diseases such as COVID-19.

OBJECTIVES: The goal of this paper is to develop a system for automatic training and testing of AI-based regressive models of epidemiological curves using public data, which involves automating the data acquisition and speeding up the training of the models.

METHODS: The research applies Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) for the creation of models, implemented within a system for automatic data fetching and training, and e valuated using the coefficient of determination (R2). Training time is lowered through the application of data filtering and simplifying the model selection.

RESULTS: The developed system can train high precision models rapidly, allowing for quick model delivery All trained models achieve scores which are higher than 0.95.

CONCLUSION: The results show that the development of a quick COVID-19 spread modeling system is possible.
