abstract = "In this work, we address the detection of drug abuse repercussions in Reddit posts, as part of SMM4H-HeaRD Task 7: Extraction of Social and Clinical Impacts of Substance Use from Social Media Posts. We evaluate multiple approaches, including fine-tuning and zero-shot inference, across several deep learning architectures. Our best result is obtained using an adapter-based fine-tuning approach on the DeBERTaV3 model. In addition, we explore text-based evolutionary optimization for Gemma 4 workflows and show that, on this task, they achieve competitive performance with the supervised DeBERTaV3 setup."
