[Corpora-List] ACM special interest group in Health Informatics

[Ted Pedersen]

Greetings all,

I'd like to pass along news of a new ACM special interest group that
might be of interest to folks working at the intersection of NLP and
Health Informatics. This SIG sponsored a conference in November 2010
in Arlington VA that had some interesting NLP work, and I think it's
fair to say they are very open to more NLP. So, if you aren't already
familiar with this organization you might want to check it out.

Here's a link to 2010 conference page which gives you a sense of the
scope of the SIG: http://ihi2010.sighi.org/

There will also be a 2011 conference, with details to be announced shortly.

I do not have any official role with this SIG, other than being a
member of it who is also a member of the corpora list, so specific
questions about the SIG should be directed to their mailing list or
officers.

Cordially,
Ted
