biomedical NLP

We invite submissions to the First Workshop on Evaluating LLMs for Specialized Domains (Eval4SD), to be held co-located with KONVENS 2026 in Hamburg, Germany (September 14th - 17th).

Recent advancements in medical multimodal large language models (MLLMs), such as MedGemini, have introduced a transformative era in clinical AI, enabling the integration of various data modalities like 2D/3D medical images, text, and DNA sequences for more comprehensive diagnostics and personalized care. While these models show promise, challenges such as data scarcity, privacy concerns, and the need for more comprehensive evaluation metrics beyond accuracy must be addressed to fully realize their potential.

## Description

Introduction
BioCreative (http://www.biocreative.org) is the first and longest-running community-wide effort for assessing text mining and information extraction systems applied to the biological domain since 2003.

We are organizing the LitCovid track specifically focusing on COVID-19 literature annotation.

2018 n2c2 Shared-Task and Workshop -- Track 2: Adverse Drug Events

We are pleased to announce that Track 2 of the n2c2 shared task will be starting next Monday, July 23.

This task aims to answer the question: “Can NLP systems automatically discover drug to adverse event (ADE) relations in clinical narratives?” The task builds on past medication extraction tasks, but examines a broader set of patients, diseases, and relations as compared with previous challenges. The task consists of three subtasks:
