Call for Participation
ChEMU 2021: Cheminformatics Elsevier Melbourne University
Chemical Reaction Patent Information Extraction task @ CLEF 2021
http://chemu2021.eng.unimelb.edu.au/
We are pleased to invite participation in the ChEMU Chemical Patent Information Extraction tasks. ChEMU 2021 is an evaluation lab at the 12th Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum (CLEF-2021) at CLEF 2021, following on from the successful ChEMU 2020 lab.
ChEMU 2021 proposes two new information extraction tasks over chemical reactions from patents.
Task 1 involves processing full chemical patent documents, while Task 2 focuses on short chemical reaction texts extracted from chemical patents.
Publications and workshop
As in previous CLEF labs, there will be an evaluation workshop allocated at CLEF 2021 where participating teams can present their systems and results. Moreover, participating teams will be invited to submit their system description papers for publication at the CLEF 2021 Working Notes proceedings. For previous working notes see: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2696/ including the ChEMU 2020 Extended Overview at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2696/paper_254.pdf
We will also organise a special journal issue to publish extended versions of the ChEMU Lab system desription papers.
