Abstract

Infectious disease transmission is shaped by patterns of human interaction, which adapt as epidemic conditions change. Capturing these context-dependent behaviors remains a fundamental challenge for epidemic models. Here, we recast this challenge by using large language models (LLMs) to represent adaptive human behavior within mechanistic epidemic models. We operationalize this idea through Genera
