--------------------------------------------      HealTAC 2026 June 8-10th, 2026, Brighton (UK) https://healtac2026.github.io/ --------------------------------------------

The 9th Healthcare Text Analytics Conference (HealTAC 2026) invites contributions that address any aspect of healthcare text analytics. This year’s theme is Human-Centered AI & NLP: Bridging Research and Real-World Practice

---------------------------- Call for Contribution ----------------------------

We invite submissions in the form of extended abstracts (up to 2 pages) describing methodological or application-focused work that has not been previously presented at a conference. Submissions should be prepared based on a template that is available at the conference web site. This year, we will focus on Human-Centered AI & NLP: Bridging Research and Real-World Practice, so we encourage submissions in that space in particular.

We also invite submissions describing ongoing PhD research (at any stage) or planned fellowship applications. The conference will provide an opportunity to receive constructive feedback from a panel of experts.

In addition, we invite submissions for software demonstrations, and new for 2026, we are also welcoming proposals for panel discussions.

See the website (Call for Contributionhttps://healtac2026.github.io/cfp/) for full details.
