Call for papers
In the last decade, language technology has received an increasing interest as suitable solution to retrieval and analyse the huge volume of published documents in biological domain. Recently, medical domain also benefit from the application of such technology. The workshop is intended to provide a forum for discussing the latest advances of language technology applied to biological and medical domains. The workshop aims to provide a broad view on the shortcomings of current existing techniques, tools, or resources as well as emergent applications concerning accessing scientific publications and health general interest documents with special attention to non English documents.
Participants are encouraged to submit a paper to the workshop in order to present their research work to the audience in a regular workshop session together with special invited speakers. Submitted papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Ongoing research as well as doctoral position papers are also welcome.
The event is envisaged to be a half day workshop with the following structure: two invited speakers from a relevant research group in the biomedical area and several oral presentations of accepted papers.
Topics of interest
Authors are invited to submit original papers addressing any of the following key topics but not limited to:
- Text mining from clinical documents
- Integration of biomedical resources in specific applications
- Woks on minor languages and/or different from English
- Real world applications (IR systems for medical and scientific
specialists, medical education, health knowledge organization, ERH...)
- Evaluation methodologies
- Biomedical corpus development
- Information Retrieval in health domain
- Classification of clinical and biological documents (for instance,
ICD-10)
- Biomedical Named Entity Recognition and Concept Identification
- Information Extraction from biological and clinical documents
- Anonymisation of clinical texts
- Information fusion: integrating data from heterogeneous biomedical
sources, connecting resources
- Methods of creating, reviewing and editing scientific content
- Summarization of electronic patient records, medical reports,
scientific articles, etc.
- Creation of biomedical annotated corpora
- Creation and evaluation of linguistic tools for biomedical domain in different languages
- Evaluation methodologies in biomedical domain: system-oriented and
user-oriented evaluations
