Accurately predicting the number of new COVID-19 cases is crucial for informing public health policy and resource allocation decisions. In this study, we propose a hybrid approach for COVID-19 cases prediction using Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) for feature selection with Optuna hyperparameter tuning and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). We use a multivariate time series dataset consisting of variables related to COVID-19 in India. We use LightGBM for feature selection and the selected features are used as input to the LSTM model. We use Optuna to tune the hyperparameters of LightGBM and evaluate the performance of our hybrid model using metrics like mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and r-squared score(R2). Our experimental results show that our hybrid model outperforms both LSTM and LightGBM models individually and other similar combinations of feature selector algorithm and predictor models in terms of prediction accuracy. Specifically, our hybrid model achieves a MAPE of 0.87 on the test dataset. The selected features also provide insights into the most relevant factors for predicting COVID-19 cases in India.
