摘要

The worldwide impact of COVID-19 necessitates accurate forecasting for informed decision-making by governments and health entities. This study proposes neural network architectures for time series forecasting of confirmed COVID-19 cases based on historical data. The models, including variants of LSTM networks, CNN-GRU hybrids, RBMs, DBNs, and self-attention mechanisms, are trained on comprehensive datasets of confirmed cases, deaths, recoveries, and other variables across various countries. Comparative analysis indicates that CNN-GRU and LSTM models exhibit superior performance in forecasting accuracy, surpassing RBM, DBN, and self-attention models across metrics like Mean Absolute Error and Root Mean Squared Error. This research emphasizes the viability of employing advanced neural networks for precise COVID-19 spread predictions, pivotal in shaping public health policies during global crises.
