  Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are unwanted or harmful effects experienced
after the administration of a certain drug or a combination of drugs,
presenting a challenge for drug development and drug administration. In this
paper, we present a set of taggers for extracting adverse drug reactions and
related entities, including factors, severity, negations, drug class and
animal. The systems used a mix of rule-based, machine learning (CRF) and deep
learning (BLSTM with word2vec embeddings) methodologies in order to annotate
the data. The systems were submitted to adverse drug reaction shared task,
organised during Text Analytics Conference in 2017 by National Institute for
Standards and Technology, archiving F1-scores of 76.00 and 75.61 respectively.
