(Apologies for cross-posting) *CFP MultiCardioNER (CLEF/BioASQ 2024): Clinical Named Entity Recognition adaptation shared task (multilingual & cardiology)* *https://temu.bsc.es/multicardioner/ <https://temu.bsc.es/multicardioner/>* The MultiCardioNER track focuses on the adaptation of clinical NER systems to specific high impact clinical application domains (cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause of death globally) as well as to multiple languages (English, Spanish and Italian), focusing on two clinical entity types: diseases and medications. *Key information:* · *Web*: https://temu.bsc.es/multicardioner · *Data*: https://zenodo.org/records/10948355 · *BioASQ** web*: http://bioasq.org/ · *Registration**:* https://temu.bsc.es/multicardioner/registration/ *Motivation *The extraction of clinical variables from medical content is key to enable efficient healthcare data analytics. Due to the highly specialized medical language, with considerable variation depending on the medical discipline, more specialized automatic semantic annotation resources are needed, not only for English but also other languages. This is particularly true for clinical content related to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which represent the leading cause of death globally, responsible for approximately 17.9 million deaths/year. The MultiCardioNER task will focus on the automatic recognition of two key clinical variables or concept types, namely diseases and medications in cardiology clinical case documents with the following two aims: · Adaptation of general clinical concept recognition systems to cardiology case reports to assess and determine how well such systems can be adapted to high impact clinical application domains / specialties (cardiology disease NER - CardioDis subtrack: Spanish). · Promote the comparative assessment and development of clinical entity recognition systems for multiple languages (i.e., medication mention detection) as well as adaptation to specific medical specialties (MultiDrug subtrack: English, Spanish and Italian) To enable the adaptation of general medical NER systems for diseases and medications the MultiCardioNER task will rely on a training collection of 1000 general clinical case reports in Spanish annotated with diseases (Spanish) and medications (English, Spanish and Italian). Moreover, to be able to adapt such general medical NER approaches to cardiology case reports a development set of 250 cardiology cases will be released. The test set will consist of an additional test collection of 250 cardiology case reports. The evaluation of systems for this task will use flat evaluation, mainly micro-averaged Precision, Recall and F-measure (MiF). Sub-tracks: *Subtask 1 (CardioDis): *Spanish adaptation of disease recognition systems to the cardiology domain *Subtask 2 (MultiDrug): *Multilingual (Spanish, English and Italian) adaptation of medication recognition systems to the cardiology domain *Tentative schedule* · MultiCardioNER Train+Dev Set Release April 9th, 2024 · MultiCardioNER Annotation Guidelines Release April 17th, 2024 · MultiCardioNER Gazetteer Release April 17th, 2024 · MultiCardioNER Test Set Texts Release May 2nd, 2024 · Participant Test Predictions Deadline · May 15th, 2024 · Participant Evaluation Result Release May 19th, 2024 · Submission of Participant Papers Deadline May 31st, 2024 · Notification of Acceptance of Participant Papers June 24th, 2024 · Submission of Camera-ready Participant Papers Deadline July 8th, 2024 · BioASQ @ CLEF2024 September 9th-12th, 2024 *Publications & conference* Following previous BioASQ/CLEF efforts, participating teams will be invited to contribute a short systems description paper for the CLEF 2024 proceedings, and to give a short presentation of their approach at the BioASQ workshop at the CLEF 2024 conference (September 09-12, 2024, in Grenoble, France) *The **MultiCardioNER Organizers & collaborators:* - Salvador Lima-López, Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), Spain - Eulàlia Farré-Maduell, Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), Spain - Jan Rodríguez-Miret, Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), Spain - Martin Krallinger, Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), Spain - Anastasios Nentidis, National Center for Scientific Research Demokritos, Greece - Anastasia Krithara, National Center for Scientific Research Demokritos, Greece - Georgios Katsimpras, National Center for Scientific Research Demokritos, Greece - Livia Lilli, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, Italy - Jacopo Lenkowicz, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, Italy - Jonathan Kossoff, University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, UK - Giovanna Ceroni, University College London, UK - Anoop Shah, University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, UK ======================================= Martin Krallinger, Dr. Head of NLP for Biomedical Information Analysis Unit Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS) https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-krallinger-85495920/ =======================================

The EPIA Track of Natural Language, Text Mining and Applications (NLP-TeMA 2024) *Important dates* Paper submission extended deadline *May 20, 2024 * Notification of paper acceptance June 20, 2024 Camera-ready papers deadline July 15, 2024 Conference dates September 3-6, 2024 The EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a well-established European conference in the field of AI. The 23st edition, EPIA 2024, will take place in Viana do Castelo from 3th to 6th of September, 2024. As in previous editions, this international conference is hosted with the patronage of the Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA). The Track of Natural Language, Text Mining and Applications (NLP-TeMA 2024) of EPIA is a forum for researchers working in Human Language Technologies, i.e. Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computational Linguistics (CL), Natural Language Engineering (NLE), Text Mining (TM), Information Retrieval (IR), and related areas. The most natural form of sharing knowledge is indeed through textual documents. Especially on the Web, a huge amount of textual information is openly published every day, on many different topics and written in natural language, thus offering new insights and many opportunities for innovative applications of Human Language Technologies. Following advances in general AI sub-fields such as NLP, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL), text mining is now even more valuable as tool for bridging the gap between language theories and effective use of natural language contents, for harnessing the power of semi-structured and unstructured data, and to enable important applications in real-world heterogeneous environments. Both hidden and new knowledge can be discovered by using NLP and Text Mining methods, at multiple levels and in multiple dimensions, and often with high commercial value. Topics of Interest Natural Language Processing: Language and Cognitive Modeling Tagging, Chunking and Parsing Morphology and Word Segmentation Natural Language Generation Discourse and Pragmatics Sentence-level Semantics and Text Inference Language Resources: Acquisition and Usage. Lexical Knowledge Acquisition Entailment and Paraphrases Entity Recognition and Word Sense Disambiguation Natural Language Understanding Language Modeling Mathematical Properties of Language NLP for Low-Resource Languages Text Mining and Applications: Text Clustering, Classification and Summarization Sentiment Analysis and Argument Mining Computational Social Science Multi-Word Units Machine Learning for NLP and Text Mining Spatio-Temporal and Big Text Mining Cross-Lingual Approaches Algorithms and Data Structures for Text Mining Information Retrieval and Information Extraction Question-Answering and Dialogue Systems Text-Based Prediction and Forecasting Web Content Annotation Health/Biomedical/Legal and other Text Mining Applications The Track Organizing Committee: Joaquim Silva Pablo Gamallo Irene Rodrigues Paulo Quaresma Alípio Jorge Joaquim Ferreira da Silva Departamento de Informática, Nova School of Science and Technology, Quinta da Torre, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal.
