Description

We study whether changes in contact-network topology predict transitions into high-risk epidemic periods across several classical empirical proximity network datasets. We use temporal graph learning with persistent homology-based topological signals and evaluate large-outbreak risk using SIR simulations to test whether topological drift serves as an early warning signal for epidemic instability.
