We describe team blue’s participation across six SMM4H-HeaRD 2026 shared tasks spanning multilingual adverse drug event detection (Task 1), influenza vaccine effectiveness estimation (Task 3), patient metadata classification (Task 5), TNM cancer staging (Task 6), opioid impact span detection (Task 7), and multilingual clinical NER with cross-lingual annotation projection (Task 8). Despite the heterogeneity of these tasks, binary, multi-class, multi-label, and sequence-labelling, our systems share three recurring design principles: (i) inverse-frequency class weighting to handle severe imbalance, (ii) multi-seed and/or multi-backbone ensembling to reduce variance, and (iii) post-hoc calibration of decision boundaries. Key results include micro-F1 of 0.990 on TNM staging (Task 6), 0.872/0.918 on flu vaccination/test classification surpassing the 70B CoT baseline on vaccination (Task 3), F1 of 0.764 on patient metadata approaching the fine-tuning benchmark of 0.776 (Task 5), and competitive performance on ADE detection (Task 1, F1 = 0.580), opioid spans (Task 7, relaxed F1 = 0.59), and multilingual clinical NER (Task 8, strict F1 0.20–0.41 across 7 languages).
