Abstract
We describe our submission to Task 1 of #SMM4H-HeaRD 2026: multilingual binary classification of adverse drug event (ADE) mentions in social media. Our system fine-tunes xlm-roberta-large with LoRA adapters and learned language embeddings, using two-stage training (CADEC translated domain adaptation, then five-fold cross-validation on the official training set). We ensemble the five fold checkpoints by mean logits, apply temperature scaling on the development set, and tune decision thresholds to maximize the official metric. On development, the final ensemble reaches macro-F1 0.788 with a global threshold and 0.796 with per-language thresholds; our best official test submission achieves macro-F1 0.616 (ID 678990).
