OBJECTIVE: The aim of this work is to leverage relational information extracted from biomedical literature using a novel synthesis of unsupervised pretraining, representational composition, and supervised machine learning for drug safety monitoring.
MOTIVATION: Adverse events resulting from drug-drug interactions (DDI) pose a serious health issue. The ability to automatically extract DDIs described in the biomedical literature could further efforts for ongoing pharmacovigilance. Most of neural n...
The goal of pharmacovigilance is to detect, monitor, characterize and prevent adverse drug events (ADEs) with pharmaceutical products. This article is a comprehensive structured review of recent advances in applying natural language processing (NLP) ...

In times of steadily increasing numbers of administered drugs, the detection of adverse drug events (ADEs) is an important aspect of improving patient safety. At present only about 1-13% of detected ADEs are reported. Raising the number of reported A...
The digital revolution has contributed to very large data sets (ie, big data) relevant for public health. The two major data sources are electronic health records from traditional health systems and patient-generated data. As the two data sources hav...
