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:
- Concepts: Identifying drug names, dosages, durations and other entities.
- Relations: Identifying relations of drugs with adverse drugs events (ADEs)[1] and other entities given gold standard entities.
- End-to-end: Identifying relations of drugs with ADEs and other entities on system predicted entities.
This is the latest in a series that began in 2006 at the former i2b2 National Center for Biomedical Computing (NCBC) and now continues at the Harvard Medical School Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) in partnership with the Volgenau School of Engineering of George Mason University.

We are pleased to announce the 2018 n2c2 Shared Task on Challenges in Natural Language Processing for Clinical Data. This is the latest in a series that began in 2006 at the former i2b2 National Center for Biomedical Computing (NCBC) and now continues at the Harvard Medical School Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) in partnership with the Volgenau School of Engineering of George Mason University.
The 2018 n2c2 Shared Task consists of two tracks:
• Track 1: Cohort Selection for Clinical Trials
• Track 2 (tentative): Adverse Drug Events and Medication Extraction in EHRs
The two tracks will run in separate schedules but will be coordinated with respect to their dissemination efforts and the accompanying workshop.
