IAI @ SocialDisNER : Catch me if you can! Capturing complex disease mentions in tweets

Aman Sinha, Cristina Garcia Holgado, Marianne Clausel, Matthieu Constant


Abstract
Biomedical NER is an active research area today. Despite the availability of state-of-the-art models for standard NER tasks, their performance degrades on biomedical data due to OOV entities and the challenges encountered in specialized domains. We use Flair-NER framework to investigate the effectiveness of various contextual and static embeddings for NER on Spanish tweets, in particular, to capture complex disease mentions.
