💡 Our findings highlight the urgent need for widespread testing and active monitoring of exposed passengers in confined travel settings to prevent sustained transmission. 🛡️

🚨You may already know or you may not know yet, but a new variant of Hantavirus has spread for weeks on a cruise on the Atlantic🚢with 8 cases already identified and 3 cases already dead🦠. Will this become the next COVID?😷

📢 I am excited to share our latest preprint (1/4)

[Jiaming Cui @jiamingcui1997]

⚠️ Relying solely on symptom-based surveillance is not enough - our model shows that several exposed individuals remain undetected during the early outbreak phase, creating a hidden reservoir for the virus. 🕵️‍♂️ (3/4)

[Jiaming Cui @jiamingcui1997]

where we developed a stochastic SEIRD model to estimate the hidden transmission dynamics aboard the ship. 📊

🔍 Key findings from our early analysis:
📈 We estimate a basic reproduction number (R0) of 2.76 (95% CI: 2.52-2.99) on the ship. (2/4)

Our initial work on bridging LLM-based multi-agent systems with well-established mechanistic modeling frameworks. Proposing directions in combining the flexibility of ML for individual-level data with the explainability and reliability of mechanistic models.

🚀 Introducing PhysicsAgentABM!

We propose a novel Physics-Guided Generative Agent Based Modeling framework for scalable and calibrated simulation of complex social systems!

⚡ 6.7x fewer API calls, 2.1-3.4x cost reduction
🎯 Superior temporal accuracy across all domains (EETE, ET-F1)
📊 Calibrated uncertainty (near-diagonal reliability curves)
🔄 Robust to regime shifts (policy shocks, market crashes, viral events)

Huge kudos to my collaborator @inhan_y , Prof. @LiJundong and my advisor @jiamingcui1997!

[Jiaming Cui @jiamingcui1997]

We’ll be giving a tutorial on “AI-Driven Multimodal Frameworks for Healthcare Decision-Making” at ICDM 2025! @jiamingcui1997,@xwang174,@zhezeng0908,@du_hongru

Time & Location: Thursday, Nov 13, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM, Ohio Room

Looking forward to connecting with many of you there!

1/3 I am excited to share that I will join @virginia_tech CS @VT_CS as a tenure-track assistant professor starting from Spring 2025.

I will continue my research in machine learning and modeling, aiming to bridge public health and clinical decisions!

@GTCSE @mlatgt @gtcomputing

[Jiaming Cui @jiamingcui1997]

Thank you, everyone!

[Jiaming Cui @jiamingcui1997]

@badityap @bijayaAdh @_arodriguezca @Kong_GT 3/3 I am actively seeking PhD students to join my research group at @VT_CS. Please feel free to reach out to me or help me spread the message.

Looking forward to the new adventure.

#SIAMSDM24 Best Poster Award: H^2ABM: Heterogeneous Agent-based model on Hypergraphs to Capture Group Interactions. Congratulations to the authors!

[Jiaming Cui @jiamingcui1997]

Joint work with my advisor @badityap and collaborators @ VivekAnand @JackHeavey @AnilVullikanti @GTCSE @gtcomputing @UVA_BI. Paper: https://t.co/9nXJ8ux9Af Code: https://t.co/CEC7Fho7jq. 3/3

[Jiaming Cui @jiamingcui1997]

We will present our new @SIAMDataMining paper “H2ABM: Heterogeneous Agent-based Model on Hypergraphs to Capture Group Interactions” on Friday, April 19 (https://t.co/s8OkfkZKxU). 1/3

[Jiaming Cui @jiamingcui1997]

We introduce the idea of hypergraphs into complex agent based models for epidemics and use it for real-world healthcare-associated infection MRSA outbreaks in hospitals - better explanations of past spread and better forecasting as well! Welcome to attend & discuss with us! 2/3
