Abstract
Drug-Drug Interactions (DDIs) produce essential and valuable insights for healthcare professionals, since they provide data on the impact of concurrent administration of medications to patients during therapy. In that sense, some relevant works, related to the DDIExtraction2013 Challenge, are available in the current technical literature. This study aims to improve previous results, using two models, where a Gaussian noise layer is added to achieve better DDI relationship extraction. (1) A Piecewise Convolutional Neural Network (PW-CNN) model is used to capture relationships among pharmacological entities described in biomedical databases. Additionally, the model incorporates multichannel words to enrich a person's vocabulary and reduce unfamiliar words. (2) The model uses the pre-trained BERT language model to classify relationships, while also integrating data from the target entities. After identifying the target entities, the model transfers the relevant information through the pre-trained architecture and integrates the encoded data for both entities. The results of the experiment show an improved performance, with respect to previous models.
