WORKSHOP OVERVIEW AND SCOPE
Over the course of the past twelve years, the ACL BioNLP workshop associated with theSIGBIOMED special interest group has established itself as the primary venue for presenting foundational research in language processing for the biological and medical domains.
The workshop serves as both a venue for bringing together researchers in bio- and clinical NLP and exposing these researchers to the mainstream ACL research, and a venue for informing the mainstream ACL researchers about the fast growing and important domain.
The workshop will continue presenting work on a broad and interesting range of topics in NLP.
We especially encourage submissions on:
- Entity identification and normalisation for a broad range of semantic categories
- Species-independent gene normalisation
- Extraction of complex relations
- Discourse analysis
- Anaphora resolution
- Coreference resolution
- Text mining
- Summarization
- Summarization/translation of clinical data for patients
- Question Answering
SPECIAL TRACK
The special track invites contributions from researchers working in NLP approachesfor the analysis of language samples to help in the assessment of clinical conditions.
Topics of relevance to the special track:
- Development of linguistic resources in support of clinical applications research
- Identification of clinical markers using NLP techniques
- NLP techniques for assisting the development of intervention practices
- Opinion papers related to pursuing this cross-disciplinary research
- Automated approaches for the identification of clinical conditions from language samples
