UZH@SMM4H: System Descriptions

Tilia Ellendorff, Joseph Cornelius, Heath Gordon, Nicola Colic, Fabio Rinaldi


Abstract
Our team at the University of Zürich participated in the first 3 of the 4 sub-tasks at the Social Media Mining for Health Applications (SMM4H) shared task. We experimented with different approaches for text classification, namely traditional feature-based classifiers (Logistic Regression and Support Vector Machines), shallow neural networks, RCNNs, and CNNs. This system description paper provides details regarding the different system architectures and the achieved results.
