Adverse drug event detection and extraction from open data: A deep learning approach

作者:

Highlights:

• Previous pharmacovigilance research fails to accurately discover drug side effects.

• We introduce a novel adverse drug event extraction algorithm using deep learning.

• We introduce the use of novel contextual word and sentence embeddings.

• Results show that our model outperforms current pharmacovigilance models.

• This model can be applied to a wide variety of information extraction tasks.
