share
This paper describes our approach presented for the eHealth-KD 2019 challenge. Our participation was aimed at testing how far we could go using generic tools for Text-Processing but, at the same time, using common optimization techniques in the field of Data Mining. The architecture proposed for both tasks of the challenge is a standard stacked 2-layer bi-LSTM. The main particularities of our approach are: (a) The use of a surrogate function of F1 as loss function to close the gap between the minimization function and the evaluation metric, and (b) The generation of an ensemble of models for generating predictions by majority vote. Our system ranked second with an F1 score of 62.18 63.94
