Infectious disease is a leading threat to public health, economic stability, and other key social structures. Efforts to mitigate these impacts depend on accurate and timely monitoring to measure the risk and progress of disease. Traditional, biologically-focused monitoring techniques are accurate but costly and slow; in response, new techniques based on social internet data, such as social media and search queries, are emerging. These efforts are promising, but important challenges in the areas of scientific peer review, breadth of diseases and countries, and forecasting hamper their operational usefulness. Authors examine a freely available, open data source for this use: access logs from the online encyclopedia [[Wikipedia]]. Using linear models, language as a proxy for location, and a systematic yet simple article selection procedure, authors tested 14 location-disease combinations and demonstrate that these data feasibly support an approach that overcomes these challenges. Specifically, proof-of-concept yields models with up to 0.92, forecasting value up to the 28 days tested, and several pairs of models similar enough to suggest that transferring models from one location to another without re-training is feasible. Based on these preliminary results, authors close with a research agenda designed to overcome these challenges and produce a disease monitoring and forecasting system that is significantly more effective, robust, and globally comprehensive than the current state of the art.

This poster establishes the utility of [[Wikipedia]] as a broadly effective data source for disease information, and authors outline a path to a reliable, scientifically sound, operational, and global disease surveillance system that overcomes key gaps in existing traditional and internet-based techniques.

Global Disease Monitoring and Forecasting with Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2016, written by Nicholas Generous, Geoffrey Fairchild, Alina Deshpande, Sara Y. Del Valle and Reid Priedhorsky.

Overview

This poster establishes the utility of Wikipedia as a broadly effective data source for disease information, and authors outline a path to a reliable, scientifically sound, operational, and global disease surveillance system that overcomes key gaps in existing traditional and internet-based techniques.
