Jesus Christ, come on. They found what bundles of text that may or may not have come from people reported, which may or may have been an accurate reporting of anything that actually happened. And if it actually happened, no shit, a drug commonly used by middle-aged women concerned they're getting overweight is associated with hot flashes and menstrual irregularity, things that happen to middle-aged women, for completely natural reasons regardless of whether they're taking drugs or not. This apparently does not even attempt to have a control group. What are middle-aged women who don't take this drug reporting? "Computational social listening?" Is this a joke? How do you get this far into machine learning adjacent computer science as a full professor and apparently not bother to learn the raw basics of experimental methods and statistics?
