The paper provides a comprehensive survey on leveraging machine learning techniques, particularly Transformer models, to predict human mobility patterns during epidemics. It highlights the importance of understanding population movement for modeling disease spread and devising response strategies. The authors review approaches utilizing both pretrained language models like BERT and Large Language Models (LLMs) tailored specifically for mobility prediction tasks. These models have demonstrated significant potential in capturing complex spatio-temporal dependencies and contextual patterns in textual data.

This paper helps us understand how people move during epidemics, which is important for stopping the spread of diseases. It shows that special kinds of artificial intelligence (AI) can help predict where people will go and when they’ll get there. This information can be used to make better decisions about how to stop the spread of disease. The authors talk about different types of AI models, like BERT, that are good at predicting things.
