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

and should<br>
not exceed the length of 5 pages (extended versions will be required to<br>
publish proceedings after workshop); the authors may use<br>
