From OnPremise to OnDemand - Impact on TDM Strategies and Search Corpora Generation at AbbVie
Matthias Negri, AbbVie
Recently at AbbVie we shifted from an OnPremise solution to a cloud-based OnDemand version of I2E. Reduced maintenance efforts and larger, “ready-to-query” full-text corpora are straightforward advantages that come in mind. However, the new set-up also poses several challenges requiring novel TDM strategies to be developed. Herein we discuss some of the approaches, highlighting both advantages and limitations that have been encountered. In particular, the use of internal ontologies and macros and the creation of focused sub-corpora are addressed.

Text Mining at Mundipharma - IDMP Regulatory Compliance and Beyond
Jon Sanford, Mundipharma
There are many steps in regulatory compliance processes where text mining can bring value. Mundipharma has implemented an I2E AMP workflow to automatically extract data elements for IDMP (IDentification of Medicinal Products) from Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) documents. This text analytics approach brings benefits for business intelligence beyond IDMP. We are looking at other document types (e.g. dossiers, CMC, response to questions), and to provide insight into internal regulatory data quality and data governance.
Rare Adverse Drug Events - The Proverbial Needle in the Haystack!
Pia Rosmanitz, Merck KgaA
New drugs with new mode of action produce unforeseen adverse events, so it’s important to monitor comparative drugs. Information on rare adverse drug events (AEs) is scattered over many different places. Often, this data can't be found in full texts of scientific publications. AEs can be specified in attachments to clinical trials, which are not searchable on the internet pages of ClinicalTrials.gov. I2E makes not only the attachments of ClinicalTrials.gov available for searching, but allows precise search strategies and easy analysis of the search results. FAERS is also an interesting source for rare AEs.
Workshops
We have hands-on training workshops run by our text mining experts available for total beginners, intermediate users and also advanced users.
See this year's Hands-On Training Workshop selection guide for the schedule and descriptions.
Roundtable topics
I2E Certificate Program
At this year's conference, you can be one of the first people to qualify for the I2E Query User Certificate. This exciting opportunity will allow you to validate, extend and improve your I2E skills.
The Level 1 Query User Certificate will be open to those who attend the “Introduction to I2E” hands-on workshops that will take place at the STMC this April, as well as more established users, who have already attended the “Introduction to I2E” training.
You will receive a certificate of attendance for our training sessions to show the value you’re bringing to your organization. It’s free to join in as part of your registration.
Learn more
The I2E Query User Certificate will focus on using and editing basic queries and Resource queries to:
- Create simple queries with different constraints, morphological variants, preferred terms and alternative lists
- Use classes to improve recall and precision of queries with linguistic classes, ontologies, and pattern ontologies
- Work with results by using limits, output formats and displays
- Use Resource queries to answer common questions

Past comments
Read about the 2017 Text Mining Conference here!
One of the best summits and training sessions I have ever attended. The pioneering NLP efforts, and users responsiveness is unmatched by any other text mining (NLP) vendor. The Linguamatics approach & I2E system is relatively intuitive, easy to manage, powerful and useful.
Both workshops were very useful. I enjoyed the interactive format.
This is such a great meeting, it's so good to hear from other people all the different ways in which they're using I2E.
I have been going to conferences for 15 years and this one is the best one.
Congratulations on a great user meeting - the talks were quite excellent.
Very useful conference!
