Abstract

AbstractThe world is witnessing the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each country responded to contain the spread of the virus in the early stages through diverse response measures. Interpreting these responses and their patterns globally is essential to inform future responses to COVID-19 variants and future pandemics. A stochastic epidemiological model (SEM) is a well-established mathematical tool that helps to analyse the spread of infectious diseases through communities and the effects of various response measures. However, interpreting the outcome of these models is complex and often requires manual effort. In this paper, we propose a novel method to provide the explainability of an epidemiological model. We represent the output of SEM as a tensor model. We then apply nonnegative tensor factorization (NTF) to identify patterns of global response behaviours of countries and cluster the countries based on these patterns. We interpret the patterns and clusters to understand the global response behaviour of countries in the early stages of the pandemic. Our experimental results demonstrate the advantage of clustering using NTF and provide useful insights into the characteristics of country clusters.
