Group Testing with Side Information via Generalized Approximate Message Passing
Abstract
Group testing can help maintain a widespread testing program using fewer resources amid a pandemic. In a group testing setup, we are given n samples, one per individual. Each individual is either infected or uninfected. These samples are arranged into m < n pooled samples, where each pool is obtained by mixing a subset of the n individual samples. Infected individuals are then identified using a group testing algorithm. In this paper, we incorporate side information (SI) collected from contact tracing (CT) into nonadaptive/single-stage group testing algorithms. We generate different types of possible CT SI data by incorporating different possible characteristics of the spread of disease. These data are fed into a group testing framework based on generalized approximate message passing (GAMP). Numerical results show that our GAMP-based algorithms provide improved accuracy.
