Temporal Topic Modeling to Assess Associations between News Trends and Infectious Disease Outbreaks
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
We introduce an approach that uses supervised temporal topic models to transform large corpora of news articles into temporal topic trends. ...
In retrospective assessments, internet news reports have been shown to capture early reports of unknown infectious disease transmission prior to official laboratory confirmation. ...
The supervised topic model discovers multiple disease topics of interest and their associated temporal trends of prominence in news media. ...
