| Challenge: | Existing studies have shown that social media can help predict rises in infectious disease caseloads. |
| Approach: | They propose to use transformer-based language models to integrate infectious disease modelling into reddit embedding features in reddits in specific US states. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms other features at predicting upward trend signals in areas where epidemiological data is unreliable. |
