Integrating Human Expertise and AI Capabilities: Evaluating Terarium for Infectious Disease Modeling

Scientific modeling for infectious diseases faces enduring challenges, including limited model transparency, poor traceability of assumptions and uncertainty, and difficulty adapting legacy models amid rapidly evolving scientific knowledge. Terarium is a novel, open-source modeling platform that integrates human-in-the-loop AI to address these gaps. This study presents Terarium and results from a systematic evaluation in epidemiological modeling, assessing its potential to accelerate modeling workflows while improving rigor and interpretability.
