BIONLP 2023 and Shared Tasks @ ACL 2023
The 22nd BioNLP workshop associated with the ACL SIGBIOMED special interest group is co-located with ACL 2023
IMPORTANT DATES
Coming Soon
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW AND SCOPE
The BioNLP workshop associated with the ACL SIGBIOMED 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 is running every year since 2002 and continues getting stronger. BioNLP welcomes and encourages work on languages other than English, and inclusion and diversity. BioNLP truly encompasses the breadth of the domain and brings together researchers in bio- and clinical NLP from all over the world. The workshop will continue presenting work on a broad and interesting range of topics in NLP. The interest to biomedical language has broadened significantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to grow: as access to information becomes easier and more people generate and access health-related text, it becomes clearer that only language technologies can enable and support adequate use of the biomedical text.
BioNLP 2023 will be particularly interested in language processing that supports DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility). The work on detection and mitigation of bias and misinformation continues to be of interest. Research in languages other than English, particularly, under-represented languages, and health disparities are always of interest to BioNLP.
Other active areas of research include, but are not limited to:
- Tangible results of biomedical language processing applications;
- Entity identification and normalization (linking) for a broad range of semantic categories;
- Extraction of complex relations and events;
- Discourse analysis;
- Anaphora/coreference resolution;
- Text mining / Literature based discovery;
- Summarization;
- Τext simplification;
- Question Answering;
- Resources and strategies for system testing and evaluation;
- Infrastructures and pre-trained language models for biomedical NLP (Processing and annotation platforms);
- Development of synthetic data & data augmentation;
- Translating NLP research into practice;
- Getting reproducible results.

SHARED TASK: MedVidQA 2022
The first challenge on Medical Video Question Answering is collocated with the BioNLP 2022 Workshop. MedVidQA focuses on providing relevant segments of videos as answers to health-related questions. Medical videos may provide the best possible answers to many first aid, medical emergency, and medical education questions. Please check the challenge website for details on the tasks, datasets, and submission guidelines: https://medvidqa.github.io
