Optimizing the Infectious Disease Detection Process for Epidemic Control and Prevention Based on Social Media 2020-09-19 .txt text/plain 11756 633 52 This paper aims to optimize the disease surveillance process by further identifying the infectious or recovered period of flu cases through social media. The main research rationale of this study is straightforward, i.e., first, to investigate the relationship between the sentiment polarity and the flu period from social networks, and second, to optimize the disease detecting process by predicting the different periods of flu. The content inside the dotted line (shown in Figure 2 ) is the main research content of this paper, which aims to find the flu-related weibos and further determine the flu period to improve the accuracy of infectious disease detection. This paper aims to detect the flu period with sentiment polarity at the word and text level based on Sina Weibo data (web-based social media platform), and it proposes optimization suggestions for optimizing the disease detecting process. ./cache/cord-302553-d0hk4ipg.txt ./txt/cord-302553-d0hk4ipg.txt
