The COVID Text Mining interactive track is recruiting users to explore COVID-19 related text mining systems of your choice. The goals of the track are to provide developers with user-in-the-loop feedback as a more formal evaluation of the usefulness of their tools and promote text mining web applications conceived to support COVID-19 research. For more information about participating as an evaluator, see https://biocreative.bioinformatics.udel.edu/tasks/biocreative-vii/track-4-users/.
