Meeting Description:

There is a pressing need to improve the access to information comprised in
health and biomedicine related documents, not only by professional medical
users buy also by researches, public healthcare decision-makers, and other
healthcare professionals.

Semantic indexing with medical vocabularies has resulted in a good solution to
reduce costs and the time bottlenecks in document indexing. The importance of
these technologies motivated several-shared tasks in the past, in particular
the BIOASQ tracks, with a considerable number of participants and impact in
the field for medical literature in English.

The MESINESP2 shared-task invites researchers, medical, and industry
professionals to develop automatic semantic indexing systems with structured
medical vocabularies for Spanish documents, which is one of the most widely
spoken languages in the world with over 572 million speakers.


Call for Participation: 

A variety of complementary strategies were explored so far for semantic
indexing of health content. Inspired by the settings of past BioASQ tracks, we
propose the following three MESINESP2 subtracks:

1.  MESINESP-L – Scientific Literature (sub-track 1): This track will require
automatic indexing with DeCS terms of abstracts using two highly used
databases in Spanish.
2. MESINESP-T – Clinical trials (sub-track 2): This track will require
automatic indexing with DeCS terms of clinical trials from REEC.
3. MESINESP-P – Patents (sub-track 3): This track will require automatic
indexing with DeCS terms the content of Spanish patents extracted from Google
Patents.
