System and method for identification and profiling adverse events

Abstract

With the proliferation of data and documents available on the internet and other information sources, analysis of adverse events poses a serious technical challenge on account of associated data volume and variety. This disclosure relates generally to identification and profiling of adverse events. By receiving a set of articles from a plurality of data sources and utilizing a series of Natural Language Processors, NLP techniques are employed to identify implicit and explicit adverse events. Entity statistics and sentiment extraction and analysis is performed. An ontology based adverse event identification framework is proposed for identification and profiling of implicit adverse event. An attention based bi-directional long short term memory network for adverse event identification and classification is proposed.
