  1. 1. Utilizing Transformers with Domain-Specific Pretraining and Active Learning to Enable Mining of Product Labels

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskap

    Author : Erik Norén; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Natural Language Processing; NLP; BERT; Active Learning; AL; Pharmacovigilance; UMC; Uppsala Monitoring Centre; Structured Product Label; SPL; Transformers; Domain-Specific Pretraining; NER; Named Entity Recognition; Adverse Drug Reaction; ADR;

    Abstract : Structured Product Labels (SPLs), the package inserts that accompany drugs governed by the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), hold information about Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) that exists associated with drugs post-market. This information is valuable for actors working in the field of pharmacovigilance aiming to improve the safety of drugs. READ MORE

  3. 2. Named Entity Recognition for Case Narratives of Adverse Event Reports

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Jayant Yadav; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the field of pharmacovigilance (PV), signal detection and assessment activities play a crucial role. They require a PV assessor to read through countless adverse event reports which is manual labor-intensive work. To ease the reading process, visual highlighters can be provided by leveraging natural language processing techniques. READ MORE
