Abstract

It is significant to accurately predict the epidemic trend of COVID-19 due to its detrimental impact on the global health and economy. Although machine learning based approaches have been applied to predict epidemic trend, standard models have shown low accuracy for long-term prediction due to a high level of uncertainty and lack of essential training data. This paper proposes an improved machine learning framework employing Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) for adversarial training to forecast the potential threat of COVID-19 in countries where COVID-19 is rapidly spreading. It also investigates the most updated COVID-19 epidemiological data before October 18, 2020 and model the epidemic trend as time series that can be fed into the proposed model for data augmentation and trend prediction of the epidemic. The proposed model is trained to predict daily numbers of cumulative confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Italy, USA, China, Germany, UK, and across the world. Paper further analyzes and suggests which populations are at risk of contracting COVID-19.
