Despite the high impact & practical relevance of detecting diseases automatically from social media for a diversity of applications, few manually annotated corpora generated by healthcare practitioners to train/evaluate advanced entity recognition tools are currently available.

Developing disease recognition tools for social media is critical for:

-

Real-time disease outbreak surveillance/monitoring -

Characterization of patient-reported symptoms -

Post-market drug safety -

Epidemiology and population health, -

Public opinion mining & sentiment analysis of diseases -

Detection of hate speech/exclusion of sick people -

Prevalence of work-associated diseases

SocialDisNER is the first track focusing on the detection of disease mentions in tweets written in Spanish, with clear adaptation potential not only to English but also other romance languages like Portuguese, French or Italian spoken by over 900 million people worldwide.

For this track the SocialDisNER corpus was generated, a manual collection of tweets enriched for first-hand experiences by patients and their relatives as well as content generated by patient-associations (national, regional, local) as well as healthcare institutions covering all main diseases types including cancer, mental health, chronic and rare diseases among others.
