InForecaster: Forecasting Influenza Hemagglutinin Mutations Through the Lens of Anomaly Detection. (arXiv:2210.13709v1 [cs.LG])

The influenza virus hemagglutinin is an important part of the virus
attachment to the host cells. The hemagglutinin proteins are one of the genetic
regions of the virus with a high potential for mutations. Due to the importance
of predicting mutations in producing effective and low-cost vaccines, solutions
that attempt to approach this problem have recently gained a significant
attention. A historical record of mutations have been used to train predictive
models in such solutions. However, the imbalance between mutations …
