Incentivizing Narrow-Spectrum Antibiotic Development with Refunding
Lucas Böttcher, Hans Gersbach
The rapid rise of antibiotic resistance is a serious threat to global public health. Without further incentives, pharmaceutical companies have little interest in developing antibio…
Spatio-temporal characteristics of dengue outbreaks
Saulo D. S. Reis, Lucas Böttcher, João P. da C. Nogueira +4
After their re-emergence in the last decades, dengue fever and other vector-borne diseases are a potential threat to the lives of millions of people. Based on a data set of dengue…
Neural Ordinary Differential Equation Control of Dynamics on Graphs
Thomas Asikis, Lucas Böttcher, Nino Antulov-Fantulin
We study the ability of neural networks to calculate feedback control signals that steer trajectories of continuous time non-linear dynamical systems on graphs, which we represent…
Why case fatality ratios can be misleading: individual- and population-based mortality estimates and factors influencing them
Lucas Böttcher, Mingtao Xia, Tom Chou
Different ways of calculating mortality ratios during epidemics have yielded very different results, particularly during the current COVID-19 pandemic. We formulate both a survival…
The Great Divide: Drivers of Polarization in the US Public
Lucas Böttcher, Hans Gersbach
Many democratic societies have become more politically polarized, with the U.S. as the main example. The origins of this phenomenon are still not well-understood and subject to deb…
Learning the Ising Model with Generative Neural Networks
Francesco D'Angelo, Lucas Böttcher
Recent advances in deep learning and neural networks have led to an increased interest in the application of generative models in statistical and condensed matter physics. In parti…
