Abstract:
As part of a preliminary investigation, proof-of-concept software was developed to automatically retrieve, process, and classify online behaviors related to STI/HIV transmission. 300 online sexual solicitations were automatically collected, processed and characterized by the software using a shallow natural language processor. The results of the software analysis were compared with expert manual coding for agreement. The study demonstrated the feasibility of an automated online behavioral surveillance system.
