Extracting Drug-Drug interactions using negation

A drug-drug interaction (DDI) occurs when one drug affects the level or activity of another drug, this may happen, for instance, in the case of drug concentrations. This interaction can result on decreasing its effectiveness or possibly altering its side effects that may even the cause of health problems to patients.

There is a great amount of DDI databases and this is why health care experts have difficulties to be kept up-to-date of everything published on drug-drug interactions. This fact means that the development of tools for automatically extracting DDIs from biomedical resources is essential for improving and updating the drug knowledge and databases.

The DrugDDI corpus was developed for the Workshop on Drug-Drug Interaction Extraction that took place in 2011 in Huelva, Spain. The DrugDDI corpus contains 579 documents extracted from the DrugBank database.

To study the effectiveness of negation for this task the annoation of the DrugDDI corpus has been extended with the scope of negation. This corpus can be downloaded from the attachment.
