Abstract
We review data mining and related computer science techniques that have been studied in the area of drug safety to identify signals of adverse drug reactions from different data sources, such as spontaneous reporting databases, electronic health records, and medical literature. Development of such techniques has become more crucial for public heath, especially with the growth of data repositories that include either reports of adverse drug reactions, which require fast processing for discovering signals of adverse reactions, or data sources that may contain such signals but require data or text mining techniques to discover them. In order to highlight the importance of contributions made by computer scientists in this area so far, we categorize and review the existing approaches, and most importantly, we identify areas where more research should be undertaken.

Social media mining for drug safety signal detection
SHB '12: Proceedings of the 2012 international workshop on Smart health and wellbeingAdverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) represent a serious problem all over the world. They may complicate a patient's medical conditions and increase the morbidity, even mortality. Drug safety currently depends heavily on post-marketing surveillance, because ...
Mining for Adverse Drug Events on Twitter
IC3K 2014: Proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management - Volume 1At the post-marketing phase when drugs are used by large populations and for long periods, unexpected adverse events may occur altering the risk-benefit relation of drugs, sometimes requiring a regulatory action. These events at the post-marketing phase ...
Analysis of adverse drug reactions using drug and drug target interactions and graph-based methods
Objective: The purpose of this study was to integrate knowledge about drugs, drug targets, and topological methods. The goals were to build a system facilitating the study of adverse drug events, to make it easier to find possible explanations, and to ...
