This on-demand short course will explore machine learning (ML) within the Regulatory/ Pharmacovigilance (PV) landscape. The instructors will provide a high-level introduction to machine learning, including common tools and project tips. Example applications, such evaluation of Single Case Drug-Event-Pair (DEP) causality using the Modified Naranjo Causality Score for ICSRs (MONARCSi) will be reviewed and evlauated. The course will also focus on important non-technical aspects of using ML in PV, including potential approaches to performance evaluation, monitoring over time, maintaining human oversight, reporting, and legal considerations.Register Here!
