Integrated Infodemic Surveillance System: The Case of COVID-19 in South Korea.

This study merges multiple COVID-19 data sources from news articles and social media to propose an integrated infodemic surveillance system (IISS) that implements infodemiology for a well-tailored epidemic management policy. IISS is an à-la-carte infodemic surveillance solution that enables users to gauge the epidemic related consensus, which compiles epidemic-related data from multiple sources and equipped with various methodological toolkits - topic modeling, Word2Vec, and social network analysis. IISS can provide reliable empirical evidence for proper policymaking.
