Public Perception Analysis of Tweets During the 2015 Measles Outbreak: Comparative Study Using Convolutional Neural Network Models.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Timely understanding of public perceptions allows public health agencies to provide up-to-date responses to health crises such as infectious diseases outbreaks. Social media such as Twitter provide an unprecedented way for the prompt asse...

Mapping the transmission risk of Zika virus using machine learning models.

Acta tropica
Zika virus, which has been linked to severe congenital abnormalities, is exacerbating global public health problems with its rapid transnational expansion fueled by increased global travel and trade. Suitability mapping of the transmission risk of Zi...

Understanding the Patterns of Health Information Dissemination on Social Media during the Zika Outbreak.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Social media are important platforms for risk communication during public health crises. Effective dissemination of accurate, relevant, and up-to-date health information is important for the public to raise awareness and develop risk management strat...

Prediction of influenza-like illness based on the improved artificial tree algorithm and artificial neural network.

Scientific reports
Because influenza is a contagious respiratory illness that seriously threatens public health, accurate real-time prediction of influenza outbreaks may help save lives. In this paper, we use the Twitter data set and the United States Centers for Disea...

The utility of LASSO-based models for real time forecasts of endemic infectious diseases: A cross country comparison.

Journal of biomedical informatics
INTRODUCTION: Accurate and timely prediction for endemic infectious diseases is vital for public health agencies to plan and carry out any control methods at an early stage of disease outbreaks. Climatic variables has been identified as important pre...

A review of influenza detection and prediction through social networking sites.

Theoretical biology & medical modelling
Early prediction of seasonal epidemics such as influenza may reduce their impact in daily lives. Nowadays, the web can be used for surveillance of diseases. Search engines and social networking sites can be used to track trends of different diseases ...

Development of artificial intelligence approach to forecasting oyster norovirus outbreaks along Gulf of Mexico coast.

Environment international
This paper presents an artificial intelligence-based model, called ANN-2Day model, for forecasting, managing and ultimately eliminating the growing risk of oyster norovirus outbreaks. The ANN-2Day model was developed using Artificial Neural Network (...

Developing a dengue forecast model using machine learning: A case study in China.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases
BACKGROUND: In China, dengue remains an important public health issue with expanded areas and increased incidence recently. Accurate and timely forecasts of dengue incidence in China are still lacking. We aimed to use the state-of-the-art machine lea...

Enhancing Seasonal Influenza Surveillance: Topic Analysis of Widely Used Medicinal Drugs Using Twitter Data.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Uptake of medicinal drugs (preventive or treatment) is among the approaches used to control disease outbreaks, and therefore, it is of vital importance to be aware of the counts or frequencies of most commonly used drugs and trending topi...

Large-scale machine learning of media outlets for understanding public reactions to nation-wide viral infection outbreaks.

Methods (San Diego, Calif.)
From May to July 2015, there was a nation-wide outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in Korea. MERS is caused by MERS-CoV, an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the family Coronaviridae. Despite expert opi...
