Flu Detector is a tool with a web interface for nowcasting the prevalence of Influenza-like Ill-ness (ILI) in several UK regions using the con-tents of Twitter. We automatically select a set of representative flu-words (markers, features) via Bolasso and learn their weights by applying lin-ear LS regression. Ground truth is acquired from the Health Protection Agency (HPA). Flu De-tector applies and extends the findings of [3]
