BioNLP 2015

http://www.aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=BioNLP_Workshop

 

Over the course of the past thirteen years, the ACL BioNLP workshop associated with the SIGBIOMED special interest group has established itself as the primary venue for presenting foundational research in language processing for the biological and medical domains. The workshop serves as both a venue for bringing together researchers in bio- and clinical NLP and exposing these researchers to the mainstream ACL research, and a venue for informing the mainstream ACL researchers about this fast-growing and important domain. The workshop will continue presenting work on a broad and interesting range of topics in NLP.  Submissions are particularly solicited in the areas of:

 
-       Wide-scale entity identification and normalization
-       Lexical and terminological resources for BioNLP
-       Annotation (corpora), standards
-       Extraction of complex relations
-       Extraction of complex events
-       Discourse analysis
-       Coreference resolution
-       Text mining
-       Adaptive text mining
-       Literature based discovery
-       Summarization
-       Question-answering
-       Resources and novel strategies for system testing and evaluation
-       Processing and annotation platforms
-       Interoperable platforms for biomedical text mining
-       Translating NLP research to practice
-       Domain adaptation
-       Hybrid approaches to biomedical language processing
 

Date of workshop: July 30, 2015

 

Venue: BioNLP 2015 will be held in conjunction with ACL 2015 in Beijing, People’s Republic of China.
