Cohorting to isolate asymptomatic spreaders: An agent-based simulation study on the Mumbai Suburban Railway
Alok Talekar, Sharad Shriram, Nidhin Vaidhiyan +10
The Mumbai Suburban Railways, \emph{locals}, are a key transit infrastructure of the city and is crucial for resuming normal economic activity. To reduce disease transmission, poli…
COVID-19: Optimal Design of Serosurveys for Disease Burden Estimation
Siva Athreya, Giridhara R. Babu, Aniruddha Iyer +6
We provide a methodology by which an epidemiologist may arrive at an optimal design for a survey whose goal is to estimate the disease burden in a population. For serosurveys with…
City-Scale Agent-Based Simulators for the Study of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions in the Context of the COVID-19 Epidemic
Shubhada Agrawal, Siddharth Bhandari, Anirban Bhattacharjee +14
We highlight the usefulness of city-scale agent-based simulators in studying various non-pharmaceutical interventions to manage an evolving pandemic. We ground our studies in the c…

Prahladh Harsha, Sandeep Juneja, Preetam Patil +7
The nation-wide lockdown starting 25 March 2020, aimed at suppressing the spread of the COVID-19 disease, was extended until 31 May 2020 in three subsequent orders by the Governmen…
Neural dissimilarity indices that predict oddball detection in behaviour
Nidhin Koshy Vaidhiyan, S. P. Arun, Rajesh Sundaresan
Neuroscientists have recently shown that images that are difficult to find in visual search elicit similar patterns of firing across a population of recorded neurons. The d…
Active Search with a Cost for Switching Actions
Nidhin Koshy Vaidhiyan, Rajesh Sundaresan
Active Sequential Hypothesis Testing (ASHT) is an extension of the classical sequential hypothesis testing problem with controls. Chernoff (Ann. Math. Statist., 1959) proposed a po…
