WORKSHOP OVERVIEW AND SCOPE
Over the course of the past twelve 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 the fast growing and important domain.
The workshop will continue presenting work on a broad and interesting range of topics in NLP.
We especially encourage submissions on:
- Entity identification and normalization for a broad range of semantic categories - Species-independent gene normalization - Extraction of complex relations - Discourse analysis - Anaphora resolution - Coreference resolution - Text mining - Summarization -- Summarization/translation of clinical data for patients - Question Answering
The special track invites contributions from researchers working in NLP approaches for the analysis of language samples to help in the assessment of clinical conditions. Topics of relevance to the special track:
- Development of linguistic resources in support of clinical applications research
- Identification of clinical markers using NLP techniques
- NLP techniques for assisting the development of intervention practices
- Opinion papers related to pursuing this cross-disciplinary research
- Automated approaches for the identification of clinical conditions from language samples

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Two types of submissions are invited: full papers and short papers. Submissions are due by 11:59 PM EST on Tuesday March 25, 2014.
Full papers should not exceed eight (8) pages of text and one page
of references. These are intended to be reports of original research.
BioNLP aims to be the forum for interesting, innovative, and promising
work involving biomedicine and language technology, whether or not
yielding high performance at the moment.
We particularly welcome reports on mature results, strong performance, and thorough evaluation.
Both types of research and combinations thereof are encouraged.
Short papers should not exceed four (4) pages including references.
Accepted short papers will be published in a separate section of the
workshop proceedings.
Appropriate short paper topics include preliminary results, application
notes, descriptions of work in progress, etc.
Submissions must be electronic and in PDF format, and should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings. Please see the conference website for details. Authors are strongly encouraged to use the style files and formatting instructions available on the conference website:
https://www.softconf.com/acl2014/BioNLP
Submissions need to be anonymous. Authors who cannot submit a PDF file electronically should contact the workshop organizers well in advance of the submission deadline.
Dual submission policy: note that papers may NOT be submitted to the BioNLP 2014 workshop if they are or will be concurrently submitted to another meeting or publication.
