*Ensuring Robustness in LLM-based Research: Reproducibility, Interoperability, and Reliable Evaluation.*

CALL FOR PROJECT PROPOSALS

We are seeking project proposals from individuals and teams interested in advancing biomedical literature annotation and mining, with a particular focus this year on enhancing reproducibility, interoperability, and reliable evaluation in the context of using large language models (LLMs). Proposals should be structured to achieve measurable outcomes through collaboration during the hackathon, with clearly defined objectives that can lead to meaningful insights by the end of the event.

Suggested proposal topics may include, but are not limited to:

- Enhancing interoperability in LLM-based annotation and mining - Developing reliable evaluation frameworks for LLM-based annotation and mining - Improving reproducibility in LLM-based annotation and mining - ...
