Abstract
SUMMARY: We have developed medpie, a software package for preparing medical message board corpora and extracting patient mentions and statistics for drugs, herbs and adverse effects experienced from them. The package is divided into web-crawling, HTML-cleaning, de-identification and information extraction modules. It also includes a sample controlled vocabulary of drugs, herbs and adverse effect terms. AVAILABILITY: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~ungar/medpie.zip. DEPENDENCIES: Python 2.6 or 2.7.Entities:
