Identifying personal health experience tweets with deep neural networks

Abstract: Twitter, as a social media platform, has become an increasingly useful data source for health surveillance studies, and personal health experiences shared on Twitter provide valuable information to the surveillance. Twitter data are known for their irregular usages of languages and informal short texts due to the 140 character limit, and for their noisiness such that majority of the posts are irrelevant to any particular health surveillance. These factors pose challenges in identifying personal health experien… Show more

“…Results showed that the highest F-measure value reached 72.9%. Compared with results of similar studies (F-measure: 37–83%) [15,16,18,28,29,30], the classification performance is satisfying in this current study. Moreover, with the help of established classification models, the workload of human coders can also be reduced considerably (screening efficacy: 31.7%–47.1%).…”
