# Disease mention recognizer for Spanish Social Media texts 🦠💬 |
|
This resource derives from the participation of the SINAI team in [Mining Social Media Content for Disease Mention (SocialDisNER)](https://temu.bsc.es/socialdisner/) shared task. This task focused on the recognition of disease mentions in tweets written in Spanish with the aim of using Twitter as a proxy to better understand societal perception of disease. This task brought the community effort to developing named entity recognition (NER) approaches to detect **all kinds** of disease mentions in social media text. |
|
|
|
Our approach is based on a [model pre-trained on general-domain text](https://huggingface.co/PlanTL-GOB-ES/roberta-base-bne). In order to leverage large scale additional [Silver Standard data](https://zenodo.org/record/6803567/preview/SocialDisNER_LargeScale_additionaldata.zip#tree_item0) with automatically generated labels provided by task’s organisers we designed a two-stage fine-tuning framework. The figure below illustrated the fine-tuning process: |

The model contained in this repository constitutes the fundament of the NER system presented by the SINAI team on SocialDisNER. Enhanced with data [`pysentimiento`](https://github.com/pysentimiento/pysentimiento) pre-processing and rule-based submission post-processing, it obtained encouraging results during the official evaluation, which are summarised in the table below. |
