Shared Task on Biology Lab Protocols at EMNLP 2020 Workshop on User-generated Text
http://noisy-text.github.io/2020/
We invite everybody interested in named entity recognition, information extraction, and BioNLP to take part in the first shared task on "Entity and Relation Recognition over Wet Lab Protocols". For this task, participants are asked to develop systems that automatically identify actions, entities, and their relations from lab instructions. We are providing annotated training data, code for baseline model, and evaluation scripts. See here for a live demo of the task -- http://bionlp.osu.edu:5000/protocols
The system description papers will be peer-reviews and published as part of the EMNLP 2020 Workshop Proceedings (ACL Anthology).
