**Task 2: Task Description**
Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) are negative medical side effects related to
a drug. Mining ADEs from user-generated text has become a popular topic
and is an important use case for research, as it could help detecting
crowd signals from users online. Being able to make use of information
across languages by applying multi-lingual methods further supports this
endeavor.
Our task targets the languages *German, French and Japanese* and is
split into two subtasks. Subtask 2a focuses on Named Entity Recognition
(NER) of of medication, disorder, and function mentions from
user-generated texts. Subtask 2b performs joint NER and Relation
Extraction (RE) to determine if these disorders are ADEs by finding the
correct relations between medications, disorders and functions. We
distinguish two types of relations between medication mentions and
disorder/function mentions:
- "caused": the disorder/function was caused by a medication, i.e., the
disorder/function is an ADE
- "treatment_for": the disorder/function is the reason for the
medication, i.e., the medication is supposed to treat the disorder/function
*Tasks*:
Participants can choose between participating in subtask 2a, or subtask
2b, or both.
~~ We explicitly encourage the submission of new and creative approaches! ~~
- Subtask 2a) Named entity recognition of the entities "drug",
"disorder" and "function" from user-generated texts.
- Subtask 2b) Joint named entity and relation extraction of the entities
"drug", "disorder" and "function" and the relations "caused" and
"treatment_for".
*Data*:
The data originates from social media platforms, e.g., patient fora and
X (Twitter). We provide data in German and Japanese, and a few examples
in French. The submitted systems will be evaluated on German, French and
Japanese data. Please find more information here:
