• Abstract: The primary goal of drug safety researchers and regulators is to promptly identify adverse drug reactions. Doing so may in turn prevent or reduce the harm to patients and ultimately improve public health. Evaluating and monitoring drug safety (i.e., pharmacovigilance) involves analyzing an ever growing collection of spontaneous reports from health professionals, physicians, and pharmacists, and information voluntarily submitted by patients. In this scenario, facilitating analysis of such reports via automation has the potential to rapidly identify safety signals. Unfortunately, public resources for developing natural language models for this task are scant. We present PHEE, a novel dataset for pharmacovigilance comprising over 5000 annotated events from medical case reports and biomedical literature, making it the largest such public dataset to date. We describe the hierarchical event schema designed to provide coarse and fine-grained information about patients' demographics, treatments and (side) effects. Along with the discussion of the dataset, we present a thorough experimental evaluation of current state-of-the-art approaches for biomedical event extraction, point out their limitations, and highlight open challenges to foster future research in this area.

  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.

  Drug-Target Affinity (DTA) is of vital importance in early-stage drug discovery. wet experiments remain the most reliable method, but they are time-consuming and resource-intensive. Existing methods have primarily focused on developing techniques based on the available DTA data, without adequately addressing the data scarcity issue. We present the SSM-DTA framework, which incorporates three simple yet highly effective strategies.

  This paper proposes a label-dependent and event-guided risk prediction model (LERP) to predict the presence of multiple disease risks. We adopt a label-dependent mechanism that gives greater attention to words from medical notes that are semantically similar to the names of risk labels. As the clinical events can also indicate the health status of patients, our model utilizes the information from events to generate an event-guided representation of medical notes.
