*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***

Third Louhi Workshop on Health Documentation Text Mining and  
Information Analysis
July 6, Bled, Slovenia. Collocated with AIME 2011

https://sites.google.com/site/louhi2011/call-for-papers

Submission Deadline: April 21, 2011

Submission Instructions: Louhi 2011 will only accept electronic  
submission via its EasyChair submission system (https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=louhi2011 
). The submissions should be in PDF format and anonymized for review.

The Third Louhi one-day workshop on Health Documentation Text Mining  
and Information Analysis is a multidisciplinary international  
workshop, bringing together researchers performing research on health  
documents. Health documents encompass, but are not limited to,  
electronic patient records, clinical documentation, discharge letters,  
care guidelines, scientific text and data related to biohealth, etc.  
The Third Louhi conference follows Louhi 08, the First conference on  
Text and Data Mining of Clinical Documents, Turku, Finland, 2008 (http://www.it.utu.fi/louhi/ 
) and Louhi 10 the Second Louhi Workshop on Text and Data Mining of  
Health Documents in Los Angeles, California (http://dsv.su.se/en/louhi10/ 
).

Louhi 2011 is calling for papers presenting original research, case  
studies or work-in-progress related to the following areas:

Processing of clinical documents, including topics such as:
Classification and analysis of text content.
Mixed source documents, and combinations of text and encoded/ 
structured information.	
Discourse, dialogue, and pragmatics.
Information extraction.
Removal of sensitive and identifying information.
Information retrieval.
Knowledge acquisition.
Language generation.
Language resources, evaluation methods and metrics, science of  
annotation.
Use of lexical, ontological, semantic resources.
Machine translation.
Statistical and and symbolic machine learning methods.
Summarization.
Sentiment analysis.
Automated coding and structuring.
Text mining.
Interactive and dialogue-based documentation and text production.
Referent tracking and management.
Textual entailment and paraphrasing.
Topic and text classification.
Word sense disambiguation.

Intelligent re-use of clinical documentation, including:
Clinical decision making and guidelines based on clinical documentation.
Automated reasoning and metareasoning using clinical documentation.
Use of clinical 	documentation within clinical trials, eScience;  
research-support 	information systems, workflow support.
Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Human-Computer Interaction, as  
well as Information Visualization based on clinical documentation and  
EHR content.
Collaborative exchange of textual EHR information between provider and  
patient; between providers in different organisations; between  
different professions.
Personalized medicine based on clinical documentation.
Experience reports from practical applications of:
Text technology in clinical documentation systems
Data mining in clinical documentation systems

We particularly welcome submissions from either academia or industry  
emphasizing multidisciplinary aspects of health documentation and the  
interplay between clinical professions, patient and provider,  
different organizations, human and computer. We strongly encourage  
submissions reporting on work for minor languages, representing the  
diverse challenge that traits in different languages pose to common  
tasks.

Submitted papers should describe original work. Simultaneous  
submission to other forums (e.g. other conferences with published  
proceedings) is not allowed. A significant overlap in contents with  
previously published work should be clearly indicated to the program  
committee.

Papers should be written in English, according to Springer LNCS format  
(available here:http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0) 
  and should not exceed 6 pages including figures, tables and  
references. Please indicate in the submission system whether it is a  
research, case study or work-in-progress paper. Louhi 2011 will only  
accept electronic submission via its Easychair submission server. The  
submissions should be in PDF format and anonymised for review.

All submissions are double-blind peer reviewed by two program  
committee members. For double-blind peer review, the initial  
manuscript submission should not include acknowledgments, authors'  
names or their affiliations. In addition, extensive referring to own  
previous work should be avoided and when referring to own previous  
works, the authors should do it in third person. The submissions will  
be judged on originality, relevance, technical quality and presentation.

Papers will be presented by the authors in a regular workshop session.  
All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings.

Selected papers from Louhi'08 were published in International Journal  
of Medical Informatics, Volume 78, Issue 12, Pages 785-850 (December  
2009) Mining of Clinical and Biomedical Text and Data, Special Issue  
Edited by Helena Karsten, Barbro Back, Sanna Salanterä, Tapio  
Salakoski; selected papers from Louhi'10 were published in the Journal  
of Biomedical Semantics for a special issue in Text and Data Mining of  
Health Documents. Selected papers will be proposed for publication in  
a journal. This is still under negotiation.
