Learning shared forecast-error structure to improve ensemble forecasts of seasonal respiratory outbreaks

Real-time forecasts of seasonal respiratory outbreaks are critical for public health preparedness and healthcare planning. Multi-model ensembles, which combine predictions from individual models, have become a leading approach for operational outbreak forecasting. Their success, however, depends in part on the assumption that component models make sufficiently independent errors. Here, we examined...

The Mechanism Matters: When Knowledge Graphs Help Reinforcement Learning

Knowledge graphs (KGs) are widely used to inject prior knowledge into reinforcement learning (RL), yet the literature is dominated by single-domain, positive-result method papers, so we lack a systematic account of when KG structure helps an agent, when it is neutral, and when it hurts. We conduct a controlled study that independently varies the RL task, the injection mechanism (state features, ac...
