Hi!

I was wondering if there is any similar example in English language,
as I am working on SMS language, and I could not find any acronyms in
the corpus I am using, so it would be good to use other examples from
other resources.

thank you very much in advance,
Úrsula

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this email.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop on Language Technology applied to biomedical and health documents.
http://basesdatos.uc3m.es/BioSEPLN10

SEPLN 2010 satellite workshop  (http://www.sepln.org)
6-7 September 2010, Valencia, Spain

Paper submission: June 17th
-------------------------------------------------------
Call for papers

In the last 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.

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.

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.
Topics of interest

Authors are invited to submit original papers addressing any of the
following key topics but not limited to:

   - Text mining from clinical documents
   - Integration of biomedical resources in specific applications
   - Woks on minor languages and/or different from English
   - Real world applications (IR systems for medical and scientific
   specialists, medical education, health knowledge organization, ERH...)
   - Evaluation methodologies
   - Biomedical corpus development
   - Information Retrieval in health domain
   - Classification of clinical and biological documents (for instance,
   ICD-10)
   - Biomedical Named Entity Recognition and Concept Identification
   - Information Extraction from biological and clinical documents
   - Anonymisation of clinical texts
   - Information fusion: integrating data from heterogeneous biomedical
   sources, connecting resources
   - Methods of creating, reviewing and editing scientific content
   - Summarization of electronic patient records, medical reports,
   scientific articles, etc.
   - Creation of biomedical annotated corpora
   - Creation and evaluation of linguistic tools for biomedical domain in
   different languages
   - Evaluation methodologies in biomedical domain: system-oriented and
   user-oriented evaluations

Important Dates

   - Paper submission: June 17th
   - Notification of acceptance for papers: July 2nd
   - Final Camera Ready paper due: July 15th
   - Worshop day: September, 6 or 7th 2010
