Abstract
Accurate prediction of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is crucial for effective epidemic prevention and control. Existing prediction models often overlook the cross-regional transmission dynamics of HFMD, limiting their applicability to single regions. Furthermore, their ability to perceive spatio-temporal features holistically remains limited, hindering the precise modeling of epidemic trends. To address these limitations, a novel HFMD prediction model named Seq2Seq-HMF is proposed, which is based on the Sequence-to-Sequence(Seq2Seq) framework. This model leverages hybrid perception of multi-scale features. First, the model utilizes graph structure modeling for multi-regional epidemic-related features. Secondly, a novel Spatio-Temporal Parallel Encoding(STPE) Cell is designed; multiple STPE Cells constitute an encoder capable of hybrid perception across multi-scale spatio-temporal…
