Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDeep Learning Synergy: CNNs and Transformers for Epidemic Outbreak ForecastingAlexander R., Shakthi Priya V., Sumathi G. et al.An Accurate prediction of outbreaks is extremely crucial for taking proactive public health interventions, distributing limited resources, and controlling a disease. This paper assesses and also compares the performances of the available deep learning models, namely, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) networks, in predicting. CNNs are best for feature extraction … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 12 · 23 Jan 2026 · 2,113 accessesView PDFCite
