Identifying Early Signals From Emerging Public Health Events Using Natural Language Processing. [PDF]

Interdiscip Perspect Infect Dis
Timely detection of emerging public health threats is challenging because the surveillance infrastructure is not yet tuned to the emerging threat. We attempt to identify three nonspecific early signals that might be common across emerging events: public health authority communication, zoonotic exposure mentions, and other pathogen exposure mentions ...
