Abstract
The BioCreative VII Track 3 challenge focused on the identification of medication names in Twitter user timelines. For our submission to this challenge, we expanded the available training data by using several data augmentation techniques. The augmented data was then used to fine-tune an ensemble of language models that had been pre-trained on general-domain Twitter content. The proposed approach outperformed the prior state-of-the-art algorithm Kusuri and ranked high in the competition for our selected objective function, overlapping F1 score.
