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) 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. In order to leverage large scale additional Silver Standard data 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:
Results
The model contained in this repository constitutes the fundament of the NER system presented by the SINAI team on SocialDisNER. Enhanced with data pysentimiento pre-processing and rule-based submission post-processing, it obtained encouraging results during the official evaluation, which are summarised in the table below.
| Precision | Recall | F1-score |
|---|---|---|
