1 Beyond SIR: exposed compartment and changing transmission

The SIR PINN tutorial recovered a constant transmission rate \(\beta\) from noisy prevalence data. Real outbreaks are messier in two important ways.

The SEIR model adds an Exposed compartment between infection and onset of infectiousness — representing the latent period during which a host carries the pathogen but cannot yet transmit it. This is essential for diseases such as COVID-19 or influenza, where the incubation period — estimated at 5–6 days for SARS-CoV-2 (1) — is a key determinant of epidemic velocity (2,3).

Time-varying \(\beta(t)\) captures the reality that governments impose non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) mid-epidemic: stay-at-home orders, school closures, and mask mandates all suppress contact rates. Statistical analyses of COVID-19 case series have quantified these drops at 50–80% (4,5). A PINN trained with a scalar \(\beta\) parameter cannot represent this behaviour; it will average the pre- and post-NPI rates and fit neither regime well.

This post shows how to extend the PINN to:

  1. The SEIR model — four compartments, latent period \(\sigma^{-1}\).
  2. A \(\beta(t)\) sub-network — a small MLP that maps time to a positive transmission rate, replacing the scalar parameter.
  3. Physics as a regulariser — without the ODE constraint, the \(\beta(t)\) network overfits observation noise; the physics residual enforces a smooth, mechanistically consistent trajectory.
Tip

What you need

pip install torch scipy matplotlib numpy

Tested with torch 2.11, scipy 1.17, Python 3.11. Training two models for 8 000 epochs each takes ~12 min on a modern CPU.

2 The SEIR model

With population fraction notation (\(s = S/N\), etc.), the SEIR equations are:

\[ \frac{ds}{dt} = -\beta(t)\,s\,i, \qquad \frac{de}{dt} = \beta(t)\,s\,i - \sigma\,e, \qquad \frac{di}{dt} = \sigma\,e - \gamma\,i, \qquad \frac{dr}{dt} = \gamma\,i \]

Symbol Meaning Typical value
\(\beta(t)\) transmission rate (time-varying) 0.1 – 0.5 day\(^{-1}\)
\(\sigma\) incubation rate \(= 1/\text{latent period}\) \(1/5\) day\(^{-1}\)
\(\gamma\) recovery rate \(= 1/\text{infectious period}\) \(1/10\) day\(^{-1}\)

The exposed compartment \(E\) is typically unobserved — only \(I\) (infectious) or proxies such as hospitalisations appear in surveillance data. This partial observability is why PINNs are useful: the physics loss ties the hidden \(E\) dynamics to the observable \(I\) through the ODE, allowing recovery of all four trajectories from \(I\) alone.

4 PINN architecture

The architecture follows the PINN framework of Raissi et al. (6), extended here to handle a time-varying parameter sub-network.

4.1 State network

A five-layer MLP maps scaled time \(t_s = t / T_{\max} \in [0,1]\) to four compartment fractions via sigmoid activations:

\[ (\hat s,\, \hat e,\, \hat i,\, \hat r) = \sigma\!\left(\text{NN}_\theta\!\left(t/T_{\max}\right)\right) \;\in (0,1)^4 \]

4.2 Transmission sub-network

When learning \(\beta(t)\), a smaller three-layer MLP maps \(t_s\) to a positive transmission rate:

\[ \hat\beta(t) = \exp\!\left(\text{NN}_\phi(t/T_{\max})\right) \]

The exponential guarantees positivity without constraining the range.

When using a constant \(\beta\), a single learnable scalar \(\log\beta\) replaces the sub-network.

5 Loss function

\[ \mathcal{L} = \underbrace{\mathcal{L}_\text{data}}_{\text{MSE on I(t)}} + \lambda_p\underbrace{\mathcal{L}_\text{physics}}_{\text{SEIR ODE residuals}} + \lambda_0\underbrace{\mathcal{L}_\text{IC}}_{\text{initial conditions}} \]

Data loss — MSE between \(\hat i(t_j)\) and the 35 noisy observations.

Physics loss — mean squared SEIR residuals at 300 collocation points:

\[ \mathcal{L}_\text{physics} = \frac{1}{M}\sum_m \left[\bigl(\dot s + \hat\beta\,\hat s\,\hat i\bigr)^2 + \bigl(\dot e - \hat\beta\,\hat s\,\hat i + \sigma\hat e\bigr)^2 + \bigl(\dot i - \sigma\hat e + \gamma\hat i\bigr)^2 + \bigl(\dot r - \gamma\hat i\bigr)^2\right] \]

where overdots denote \(d/dt\) computed via automatic differentiation.

IC loss — squared deviation from known initial conditions at \(t = 0\).

Code 
def data_loss(model, t_obs_t, i_obs_t):
    """MSE on the I compartment at observation times."""
    return ((model.state(t_obs_t)[:, 2] - i_obs_t) ** 2).mean()


def ic_loss(model, seir0_t):
    """Match (s₀, e₀, i₀, r₀) at t = 0."""
    t0   = torch.zeros(1, 1)
    pred = model.state(t0)
    return ((pred - seir0_t) ** 2).mean()


def physics_loss(model, t_col_t):
    """

    """
    t   = t_col_t.detach().squeeze().clone().requires_grad_(True)   # (B,)
    t2d = t.unsqueeze(1)

    y   = model.state(t2d)                              # (B, 4)
    s, e, i, r = y[:, 0], y[:, 1], y[:, 2], y[:, 3]
    b   = model.beta(t2d).squeeze()                     # (B,)
    gam = model.gamma
    sig = sigma_true                                    # fixed Python float

    ones = torch.ones(len(t))
    dS = torch.autograd.grad(s, t, grad_outputs=ones, create_graph=True, retain_graph=True)[0]
    dE = torch.autograd.grad(e, t, grad_outputs=ones, create_graph=True, retain_graph=True)[0]

    dR = torch.autograd.grad(r, t, grad_outputs=ones, create_graph=True)[0]

    res_r = dR - gam * i
    return (res_s**2 + res_e**2 + res_i**2 + res_r**2).mean()
Note

Why retain_graph=True?

All four compartments share the same computation graph (they are outputs of a single forward pass through state_net). Calling autograd.grad four times on the same graph requires retain_graph=True for the first three calls; the final call can free the graph. create_graph=True ensures that second-order gradients — needed for backpropagating through the physics loss to model weights — are available.

Important

Physics as an implicit smoothness prior

At \(\lambda_p = 0\) the \(\beta(t)\) network overfits noise: it learns sharp wiggles that make the ODE residual large but reduce the data loss. Increasing \(\lambda_p\) trades a small increase in data MSE for a biologically plausible, smooth \(\beta(t)\). The physics residual acts as an implicit smoothness prior without requiring explicit regularisation terms on \(\beta(t)\) itself.

Property Constant-β PINN β(t)-network PINN
Fits I(t) globally ✓ (roughly) ✓ (closely)
Captures structural break at NPI ✗ ✓
Recovers hidden E(t) ✗ ✓
Extrapolates beyond data Good Good (if λ_phys > 0)
Risk of overfitting β Low High if λ_phys = 0
Parameters weights + log_γ weights + β_net + log_γ

10 Extensions

Identifiability: with only \(I(t)\) observed, \(\sigma\) and \(\gamma\) are not jointly identifiable from \(\beta\) unless additional constraints are applied. Fixing \(\sigma\) from natural history data (as done here) is a standard practice.

Multiple waves: a single \(\beta(t)\) network can represent multiple NPI episodes by simply training on a longer time series — the physics loss prevents erratic behaviour between the periods.

Bayesian β(t): combining the Bayesian PINN with a β(t) network gives posterior credible intervals over the entire transmission curve — directly useful for policy decisions under uncertainty.

Real-data application: Dandekar and Barbastathis (7) applied a similar approach to COVID-19 province-level case counts, learning a quarantine-strength parameter as a function of time via a neural augmentation of the SIR model — demonstrating that the PINN framework scales to real surveillance data and recovers interpretable intervention effects.
