Using AI to Predict Influenza, C19 and Other Infectious Disease Rates

AI can be used to generate regional forecasts of infectious disease rates that, in turn, empower government and other leaders to make prudent social distancing and other preemptive modifications. As a case study, we will look at influenza data supplied by the Centers for Disease Control. Our goal is to use ILI data to train a model that will accurately predict future seasonal flu levels.
