binary-classification-drug-reactions

binary-classification-drug-reactions is NeuroKnow AI's 184.4M-parameter DeBERTa-v3-based binary classifier for assessing the severity of adverse drug reactions from patient-reported narrative text. It classifies each input as Severe or Non-Severe for pharmacovigilance and drug-safety workflows.

What it does

The model classifies patient-reported drug-experience narratives into:

• —Non-Severe
• —Severe

It supports adverse drug reaction triage, pharmacovigilance analysis, drug-safety workflows, biomedical text classification, and research-oriented decision-support pipelines.

Model architecture

• —Base architecture: microsoft/deberta-v3-base
• —Transformers architecture: DebertaV2ForSequenceClassification
• —Architecture family: DeBERTa-v3
• —Task: binary sequence classification
• —Classes: Non-Severe, Severe
• —Transformer layers: 12
• —Hidden size: 768
• —Attention heads: 12
• —Intermediate size: 3072
• —Classifier output dimension: 2
• —Parameter count: 184,423,682
• —Model dtype: float32
• —Tokenizer: SentencePiece Unigram via DebertaV2Tokenizer
• —Vocabulary size: 128,100
• —Application maximum sequence length: 256 tokens
• —Maximum positional embeddings: 512

Training data

The model was trained on:

• —8,153 patient-reported drug-experience narratives
• —Adverse drug reaction severity labels
• —A near-balanced class distribution:
• —53.4% Severe
• —46.6% Non-Severe

Additional biomedical training

The model was further adapted on OpenMed/DDI-Corpus-Processed for biomedical domain adaptation. This additional training was used to strengthen:

• —Drug-interaction representations
• —Pharmacological safety understanding
• —Biomedical domain adaptation
• —Representations relevant to adverse drug reaction severity classification

This corpus was used as additional biomedical training and is not presented as a Severe/Non-Severe adverse drug reaction dataset.

Usage

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "neuroknowai/binary-classification-drug-reactions"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_id)
model.eval()

id2label = {
    0: "Non-Severe",
    1: "Severe",
}

def classify_adr(text):
    inputs = tokenizer(
        text,
        return_tensors="pt",
        truncation=True,
        max_length=256,
        padding=True,
    )

    with torch.no_grad():
        logits = model(**inputs).logits
        probabilities = torch.softmax(logits, dim=-1)[0]

    class_id = int(probabilities.argmax())
    label = id2label[class_id]
    confidence = float(probabilities[class_id])

    return {
        "label": label,
        "confidence": round(confidence, 4),
    }

result = classify_adr(
    "I experienced severe insomnia, heart palpitations, and extreme anxiety "
    "after taking this medication for two weeks."
)

print(result)

Intended use

This model is intended for research, pharmacovigilance analysis, drug-safety workflows, ADR narrative classification, and decision-support pipelines.

It should not be used as a diagnostic model or as the sole basis for clinical decisions.
