WORKSHOP OVERVIEW AND SCOPE
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.
The active areas of research include, but are not limited to:
- Entity identification and normalization for a broad range of semantic categories
- Extraction of complex relations and events
- Semantic parsing
- Discourse analysis
- Anaphora /Coreference resolution
- Text mining
- Literature based discovery
- Summarization
- Question Answering
- Resources and novel strategies for system testing and evaluation
- Infrastructures for biomedical text mining
- Processing and annotation platforms
- Translating NLP research to practice
- Research Reproducibility
In 2019, the workshop will present the results of the shared task on biomedical textual inference and question entailment. See details at https://sites.google.com/view/mediqa2019
