Cross-lingual Approaches for the Detection of Adverse Drug Reactions in German from a Patient’s Perspective (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a recent study shows that the class labels of german documents containing ADRs are imbalanced . clinical trials and physicians prescribing medications cannot cover every potential use case. |
| Approach: | They propose to use binary annotated documents from a german patient forum to detect ADRs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves an F1 score of 37.52 for the positive class on the German patient forum. |
