DISCOVERING ADVERSE HEALTH EVENTS VIA BEHAVIORAL DATA
First Claim
1. A method comprising, processing large-scale behavioral data to identify health-related effects in which a target outcome is unknown, including recognizing signals in the large-scale behavioral data, including detecting anomalous querying patterns, browsing activities, or both, and taking action upon detecting anomalous querying patterns, browsing activities, or both.

Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure are directed towards processing search logs and/or other large scale data sources to detect medical related-effects. For example, an anomalous number of queries regarding a particular symptom and a drug may indicate the existence of a previously unknown side-effect of the drug. Side effects of drug interactions may also be found by processing behavioral data such as queries and social network posts. Also described is the generation of symptom spectra data that is processed to detect anomalies and the like in user behavior corresponding to medical related-effects.

- 12. A system comprising, at least one processor and memory configured as an offline data processing subsystem, the subsystem configured to access behavioral data from one or more sources, and to generate spectra data based upon the behavioral data, the spectra data comprising a probability distribution across a set of data computed using different groups of users.
- 19. One or more machine-readable storage media or logic having executable instructions, which when executed perform steps, comprising, generating a representation of behavioral data with respect to large scale sets of medical entity information, and processing the representation to recognize health-related effects of one or more medical-related entities based upon statistical analysis, in which a target outcome is unknown.
