In order to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, public health experts and the government require a way to collect timely and reliable information from many news sources. This project aims to develop a basic technology for a system to monitor public health threats in several languages in the Asia-Pacific region. We focus on the tasks such as automatic judgment of outbreak severity as well as situation awareness by unifying information from various sources.
