Abstract
This research is an interdisciplinary work between data scientists, innovation management researchers and experts from Swedish academia and a hygiene and health company. Based on this collaboration, we have developed a novel package for automatic idea detection with the motivation of controlling and preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAI). The principal idea of this study is to use machine learning methods to extract informative ideas from social media to assist healthcare professionals in reducing the rate of HAI. Therefore, the proposed package offers a corpus of data collected from Twitter, associated expert-created labels, and software implementation of an annotation framework based on the Active Learning paradigm. We employed Transfer Learning and built a two-step deep neural network model that incrementally extracts the semantic representation of the collected text data using the BERTweet language model in the first step and classifies these representations as informative or non-informative using a multi-layer perception (MLP) in the second step. The package is called AID4HAI (Automatic Idea Detection for controlling and preventing Healthcare-Associated Infections) and is made fully available (software code and the collected data) through a public GitHub repository (https://github.com/XaraKar/AID4HAI). We believe that sharing our ideas and releasing these ready-to-use tools contributes to the development of the field and inspires future research.
