Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) pose significant challenges in modern healthcare, often leading to adverse effects and treatment inefficiencies. Extracting DDIs from biomedical literature is crucial for understanding drug synergies and potential risks. This research addresses the need for improved DDI extraction by proposing a deep multimodal fusion approach. The study’s scope encompasses integrating various modalities to enhance DDI extraction accuracy. Methodology: Our methodology employs a deep multimodal fusion model that combines information from diverse modalities to enrich the representation of biomedical text.
