Deep learning-derived optimal aviation strategies to control pandemics.

ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 pandemic affected countries across the globe, demanding drastic public health policies to mitigate the spread of infection, which led to economic crises as a collateral damage. In this work, we investigate the impact of human mobility, described via international commercial flights, on COVID-19 infection dynamics on a global scale. We developed a graph neural network (GNN)-based framework called Dynamic Weighted GraphSAGE (DWSAGE), which operates over spatiotemporal graphs and is well-suited for dynamically changing flight information updated daily. This architecture is designed to be structurally sensitive, capable of learning the relationships between edge features and node features. To gain insights into the influence of air traffic on infection spread, we conducted local s
