AO_SCPLOWBSTRACTC_SCPLOWO_ST_ABSObjectiveC_ST_ABSResearch on pharmacovigilance from social media data has focused on mining adverse drug effects (ADEs) using annotated datasets, with publications generally focusing on one of three tasks: (i) ADE classification, (ii) named entity recognition (NER) for identifying the span of an ADE mentions, and (iii) ADE mention normalization to standardized vocabularies. While the common goal of such systems is to detect ADE signals that can be used to inform public policy, it has been impeded largely by limited end-to-end solutions to the three tasks for large-scale analysis of social media reports for different drugs. Materials and MethodsWe present a dataset for training and evaluation of ADE pipelines where the ADE distribution is closer to the average natural balance with ADEs present in about 7% of the Tweets. The deep learning architecture involves an ADE extraction pipeline with individual components for all three tasks. ResultsThe system presented achieved a classification performance of F1 = 0.63, span extraction performance of F1 = 0.44 and an end-to-end entity resolution performance of F1 = 0.34 on the presented dataset. DiscussionThe performance of the models continue to highlight multiple challenges when deploying pharmacovigilance systems that use social media data. We discuss the implications of such models in the downstream tasks of signal detection and suggest future enhancements. ConclusionMining ADEs from Twitter posts using a pipeline architecture requires the different components to be trained and tuned based on input data imbalance in order to ensure optimal performance on the end-to-end resolution task. |
