摘要

BackgroundDigital traces left on the Internet by web users, if properly aggregated and analyzed, can represent a huge information dataset able to inform syndromic surveillance systems in real time with data collected directly from individuals. Since people use everyday language rather than medical jargon (e.g. runny nose vs. respiratory distress), knowledge of patients’ terminology is essential for the mining of health related conversations on social networks.
