In the last decade, an increasing number of users have started reporting Adverse Drug Events (ADE) on social media platforms, blogs, and health forums. Given the large volume of reports, pharmacovigilance has focused on ways to use Natural…
Active adverse event surveillance monitors Adverse Drug Events (ADE) from different data sources, such as electronic health records, medical literature, social media and search engine logs. Over the years, many datasets have been created,…
This paper is a tutorial on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) and its applications. FCA is an applied branch of Lattice Theory, a mathematical discipline which enables formalisation of concepts as basic units of human thinking and analysing…
Adverse Event (ADE) extraction is one of the core tasks in digital pharmacovigilance, especially when applied to informal texts. This task has been addressed by the Natural Language Processing community using large pre-trained language…
External control arms can inform early clinical development of experimental drugs and provide efficacy evidence for regulatory approval. However, accessing sufficient real-world or historical clinical trials data is challenging. Indeed,…
In clinical treatment, identifying potential adverse reactions of drugs can help assist doctors in making medication decisions. In response to the problems in previous studies that features are high-dimensional and sparse, independent…
Distantly supervised relation extraction (RE) automatically aligns unstructured text with relation instances in a knowledge base (KB). Due to the incompleteness of current KBs, sentences implying certain relations may be annotated as N/A…
Fighting criminal activities in our modern societies required the engagement of intelligent information systems that can analyze crime data geographically and enable new concepts to be deduced from it. These information systems should be…
Background: Children are frequently prescribed medication off-label, meaning there has not been sufficient testing of the medication to determine its safety or effectiveness. The main reason this safety knowledge is lacking is due to…
Safety analyses in terms of adverse events (AEs) are an important aspect of benefit-risk assessments of therapies. Compared to efficacy analyses AE analyses are often rather simplistic. The probability of an AE of a specific type is…
In the study of drug function and precision medicine, identifying new drug-microbe associations is crucial. However, current methods isolate association and similarity analysis of drug and microbe, lacking effective inter-view optimization…
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…
Objectives: To advance state-of-the-art for duplicate detection in large-scale pharmacovigilance databases and achieve more consistent performance across adverse event reports from different countries. Background: Unlinked adverse event…
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are big concern for public health. ADRs are one of most common causes to withdraw some drugs from markets. Now two major methods for detecting ADRs are spontaneous reporting system (SRS), and prescription event…
Existing full-reference image quality assessment (FR-IQA) methods often fail to capture the complex causal mechanisms that underlie human perceptual responses to image distortions, limiting their ability to generalize across diverse…
Adverse drug reaction (ADR) is widely concerned for public health issue. ADRs are one of most common causes to withdraw some drugs from market. Prescription event monitoring (PEM) is an important approach to detect the adverse drug…
Herein, we present the application of MEGAN, our explainable AI (xAI) model, for the identification of small colloidally aggregating molecules (SCAMs). This work offers solutions to the long-standing problem of false positives caused by…
Social media can be an important source of information facilitating the detection of new safety signals in pharmacovigilance. Various approaches have investigated the analysis of social media data using AI such as NLP techniques for…
As one of the most important affective signals, facial affect analysis (FAA) is essential for developing human-computer interaction systems. Early methods focus on extracting appearance and geometry features associated with human affects…
Factor analysis (FA) is a statistical tool for studying how observed variables with some mutual dependences can be expressed as functions of mutually independent unobserved factors, and it is widely applied throughout the psychological,…
