<h2><font size="2"><span>Call</span> for papers</font></h2>
<p>In the <span>last</span> decade, language technology has
received an increasing
interest as suitable solution to retrieval and analyse the huge volume
of published documents in biological domain. Recently, medical domain
also benefit from the application of such technology. The workshop is
intended to provide a forum for discussing the latest advances of
language technology applied to biological and medical domains. The
workshop aims to provide a broad view on the shortcomings of current
existing techniques, tools, or resources as well as emergent
applications concerning accessing scientific publications and health
general interest documents with special attention to non English
documents.</p>
<p>Participants are encouraged to submit a paper to the workshop in
order to present their research work to the audience in a regular
workshop session together with special invited speakers. Submitted
papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Ongoing research as
well as doctoral position papers are also welcome.</p>
<p>The event is envisaged to be a half day workshop with the following
structure: two invited speakers from a relevant research group in the
biomedical area and several oral presentations of accepted papers.</p><h2><font size="2">Topics of interest</font></h2>
<p>Authors are invited to submit original papers addressing any of the
following key topics but not limited to:</p>
<ul><li>Text mining from clinical documents</li><li>Integration of
biomedical resources in specific applications</li><li>Woks on minor
languages and/or different from English</li><li>Real world applications
(IR systems for medical and scientific
specialists, medical education, health knowledge organization, ERH...)</li><li>Evaluation
methodologies</li><li>Biomedical corpus development</li><li>Information
Retrieval in health domain</li><li>Classification of clinical and
biological documents (for instance,
ICD-10)</li><li>Biomedical Named Entity Recognition and Concept
Identification</li><li>Information Extraction from biological and
clinical documents</li><li>Anonymisation of clinical texts</li><li>Information
fusion: integrating data from heterogeneous biomedical
sources, connecting resources</li><li>Methods of creating, reviewing and
editing scientific content</li><li>Summarization of electronic patient
records, medical reports,
scientific articles, etc.</li><li>Creation of biomedical annotated
corpora</li><li>Creation and evaluation of linguistic tools for
biomedical domain in
different languages</li><li>Evaluation methodologies in biomedical
domain: system-oriented and

<p>Each contribution must be prepared following the format provided on
the conference web site:
(<a href="http://www.sepln.org/revistaSEPLN/Instrevista.php?lang=en" target="_blank">http://www.sepln.org/revistaSEPLN/Instrevista.php?lang=en</a>),
and should
not exceed the length of 5 pages (extended versions will be required to
publish proceedings after workshop); the authors may use <a href="http://www.sepln.org/SEPLN_latex.zip" target="_blank">LaTeX</a> or
<a href="http://www.sepln.org/SEPLN_word.zip" target="_blank">Microsoft
Word</a> templates
when preparing their drafts. The papers should be submitted
electronically before the paper submission deadline using <a href="http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=biosepln10" target="_blank">EasyChair
online</a> submission system. All submissions will be double-blind
peer-reviewed by two reviewers. The initial manuscript submission should
not include acknowledgements, authors' names or their affiliations. The
program committee will be responsible for the final decision about
acceptance of papers submitted to the workshop. All accepted papers will
be included in the workshop working notes but extended/revised versions
of contributions will be ellectronically published as CEUR workshop
proceedings (<a href="http://ceur-ws.org/" target="_blank">http://CEUR-WS.org</a>).
At
least one author must be registered at the workshop for each accepted
paper.</p>-- <br><font color="#888888">Isabel Segura Bedmar<br>Despacho
