BioNLP 2023
BIONLP 2015 Workshop Schedule
Keynote by Kevin Knight: The DARPA Big Mechanism Program
DARPA's Big Mechanism Program aims to develop automatic machine-reading technology to distill grounded, causal mechanisms from technical literature, and to assemble those mechanisms into a large, operational model. The first Big Mechanism domain is cancer biology. This talk will describe the goals of the program and the techniques being developed.
BIONLP 2015 Call for Papers
Date of workshop: July 30, 2015
Venue: BioNLP 2015 will be held in conjunction with ACL 2015 in Beijing, People’s Republic of China.
IMPORTANT DATES
- 14 May 2015: Submission due date
- 4 June 2015: Notification of acceptance
- 21 June 2015: Camera-ready papers due
- 30 July 2015: Workshop, Beijing, PRC
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
- Extraction of complex relations and events
- Discourse analysis
- Coreference resolution
- Text mining
- Literature based discovery
- Summarization
- Question-answering
- Lexical and terminological resources for BioNLP
- Annotation (corpora), standards
- Resources and strategies for system testing and evaluation
- Processing and annotation platforms
- Interoperable platforms for biomedical text mining
- Domain adaptation
- Translating NLP research to practice
Submission instructions:
Long papers may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus two pages for references; final versions of long papers will be given one additional page (up to 9 pages with 2 pages for references) so that reviewers’comments can be taken into account.
Poster submissions may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, plus 2 pages for references. Upon acceptance, short papers will be given five (5) pages in the proceedings and 2 pages for references. Authors are encouraged to use this additional page to address reviewers comments in their final versions.
https://www.softconf.com/acl2015/BioNLP/ 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. Submissions should be anonymous.
