• Title: Retrofitting Vector Representations of Adverse Event Reporting Data to Structured Knowledge to Improve Pharmacovigilance Signal Detection
• Authors: Xiruo Ding, Trevor Cohen
• Abstract summary: Adverse drug events (ADEs) are prevalent and costly. Clinical trials are constrained in their ability to identify potential ADEs. Statistical methods provide a convenient way to detect signals from these reports but have limitations in leveraging relationships between drugs and ADEs. Aer2vec generates distributed vector representations of ADE report entities that capture patterns of similarity but cannot utilize lexical knowledge. We address this limitation by retrofitting aer2vec drug embeddings to knowledge from RxNorm and developing a novel retrofitting variant using vector rescaling to preserve magnitude.

• Abstract: Adverse drug events (ADE) are prevalent and costly. Clinical trials are constrained in their ability to identify potential ADEs, motivating the development of spontaneous reporting systems for post-market surveillance. Statistical methods provide a convenient way to detect signals from these reports but have limitations in leveraging relationships between drugs and ADEs given their discrete count-based nature. A previously proposed method, aer2vec, generates distributed vector representations of ADE report entities that capture patterns of similarity but cannot utilize lexical knowledge. We address this limitation by retrofitting aer2vec drug embeddings to knowledge from RxNorm and developing a novel retrofitting variant using vector rescaling to preserve magnitude. When evaluated in the context of a pharmacovigilance signal detection task, aer2vec with retrofitting consistently outperforms disproportionality metrics when trained on minimally preprocessed data. Retrofitting with rescaling results in further improvements in the larger and more challenging of two pharmacovigilance reference sets used for evaluation.

  The mining of adverse drug events (ADEs) is pivotal in pharmacovigilance, enhancing patient safety. Traditional ADE detection methods are reliable but slow, not easily adaptable to large-scale operations. Previous ADE mining studies have focused on text-based methodologies, overlooking visual cues. We present a MultiModal Adverse Drug Event (MMADE) detection dataset, merging ADE-related textual information with visual aids.

  We propose to detect OOD molecules by adopting an auxiliary diffusion model-based framework, which compares similarities between input molecules and reconstructed graphs. Due to the generative bias towards reconstructing ID training samples, the similarity scores of OOD molecules will be much lower to facilitate detection. Our research pioneers an approach of Prototypical Graph Reconstruction for Molecular OOD Detection, dubbed as PGR-MOOD and hinges on three innovations.
