Knowledge-augmented Graph Neural Networks with Concept-aware Attention for Adverse Drug Event Detection (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies have used word embedding and deep learning to automate ADE detection from text, but they did not incorporate explicit medical knowledge about drugs and adverse reactions or the corresponding feature learning. |
| Approach: | They propose to integrate medical knowledge into ADE detection from text . they use contextualized embeddings from pretrained language models and convolutional graph neural networks to learn features differently for different types of nodes in the graph. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models on four public datasets and shows that it is based on medical knowledge and embeddings from pretrained language models and neural networks. |
