[Grigorios Tsoumakas]

Dear all,

The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (School of Informatics and School of Medicine) in collaboration with Archimedes are organising a challenge on clinical coding of discharge letters from the cardiology department of a tertiary hospital in Greece. The challenge includes tasks on named entity recognition, entity linking, multi-label classification, and explainable AI.

ELCardioCC is part of the greater BioASQ challenge, which is a lab of CLEF 2025 taking place in Madrid on September 9-12, 2025. ELCardioCC results will be discussed at the BioASQ workshop of CLEF 2025.
