|---|---|---|
Automatic assessment of the quality of online health information is a need especially with the massive growth of online content. In this paper, we present an approach to assessing the quality of health webpages based on their content rather than on purely technical features, by applying machine learning techniques to the automatic identification of evidence-based health information. Several machine learning approaches were applied to learn classifiers using different combinations of features. Three datasets were used in this study for three different diseases, namely shingles, flu and migraine. The results obtained using the classifiers were promising in terms of precision and recall especially with diseases with few different pathogenic mechanisms. |
