Social Media Mining for Health Applications (#SMM4H) workshop serves as
a venue for bringing together researchers interested in automatic
methods for the collection, extraction, representation, analysis, and
validation of social media data (e.g., Twitter, Reddit, Facebook) for
health informatics. The 7th #SMM4H Workshop, co-located at COLING 2022
(<a href="https://coling2022.org/index">https://coling2022.org/index</a>) will present a Keynote speaker, 15
invited oral presentations, and a poster session demonstrating the
competing systems of the SMM4H'22 shared tasks. The detailed program and
description of the shared tasks can be found online at <a href="https://healthlanguageprocessing.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" title="https://healthlanguageprocessing.org">https://healthlanguageprocessing.org/smm4h-2022/</a></div><div><br class="gmail-x_ContentPasted0" aria-hidden="true"></div><div class="gmail-x_ContentPasted0">Keynote speaker: Raul Rodriguez-Esteban, Senior Principal Scientist at Roche Pharmaceuticals, Switzerland</div><div class="gmail-x_ContentPasted0">Abstract: Social media listening for pharmaceutical R&D</div><div class="gmail-x_ContentPasted0">Traditionally,
social media listening (SML) in the pharmaceutical setting has been
limited to marketing and communication purposes and performed with
manual, qualitative methods. Pharmaceutical companies, with the
encouragement of regulatory agencies, have started utilizing social
media listening to integrate the patient perspective in the clinical
development process to ensure relevant treatments and outcomes.
Additionally, there is a growing acknowledgment that quantitative
methods for SML (QSML) can provide new and more rigorous analyses that
enhance the value of social media data to enable a patient-centric
approach to understanding disease burden and influence drug discovery
decisions at all stages. During this talk, I will present some examples
of QSML supporting pharmaceutical R&D. </div><div><br class="gmail-x_ContentPasted0" aria-hidden="true"></div><div><br class="gmail-x_ContentPasted0" aria-hidden="true"></div>All questions should be emailed to Davy Weissenbacher (<a href="mailto:davy.weissenbacher@cshs.org">davy.weissenbacher@cshs.org</a>)</div>
