    Adaptive Quantile Guidance in Diffusion Models: Multi-Dataset Learning for Pandemic Time Series. ICMLA 2025 (Accepted)
    • Developed AQDiff, a diffusion-based framework for epidemiological forecasting, leveraging multi-dataset pre-training (CDC influenza, COVID-19, RSV) and adaptive quantile guidance to dynamically adjust prediction intervals. Achieved 73.3% lower MAE than state-of-the-art models (CSDI, PatchTST) across pandemic scenarios. • Introduced real-time error feedback via exponentially weighted residual statistics, enhancing volatility adaptation with <10% computational overhead. Demonstrated robustness in sparse data methods and statistically significant improvements during outbreak surges.
