Physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep on Twitter: A labelled dataset for public health research
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Advances in automated data processing, together with the unprecedented growth in user-generated social media (SM) content, have made public health surveillance (PHS) one of the long-lasting SM applications. However, the existing PHS systems feeding on SM data have not been widely deployed in national surveillance systems, which appears to stem from the lack of practitioners’ trust in SM data. More robust datasets over which machine learning (ML) models can be trained/tested reliably is a significant step toward overcoming this hurdle. The health implications of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep (PASS) are widely studied through traditional data sources, which are often out-of-date, costly to collect, and thus limited in quantity and coverage. We present LPHEADA, a multicountry and fully Labelled digital Public HEAlth DAtaset of tweets originated in Australia/Canada/United Kingdom/United States between November 2018-June 2020. LPHEADA contains 366,405 labels for 122,135 PASS-related tweets and provides details about the place/time/demographics associated with each tweet. LPHEADA is publicly available and can be utilized to develop (un)supervised ML models for digital PASS surveillance.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
