Originální abstrakt

This paper deals with early detection of epidemiological events by means of text-based analysis on social networks data. We introduce a novel system that processes streams from Twitter, blogs and discussion fora, automatically categorizes messages according to various criteria and extracts data potentially relevant for public health-related events. A special attention is paid to the analysis of Twitter data. We quantify the data processed every day and show that many obstacles need to be overcome to fully realize the potential of the valuable resource.
