==WORKSHOP OVERVIEW AND SCOPE==
  
 
Over the course of the past fourteen years, the ACL BioNLP workshop associated with the 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 serves as both a venue for bringing together researchers in bio- and clinical NLP and exposing these researchers to the mainstream ACL research, and a venue for informing the mainstream ACL researchers about the fast growing and important domain.

BioASQ assesses the performance of information systems in supporting two tasks that are central in the biomedical question answering process: (a) the indexing of large volumes of unlabeled data, primarily scientific articles, with biomedical concepts, (b) the processing of biomedical questions and the generation of answers and supporting material.  BioASQ has been making publicly available the following benchmark data and tools: more than 1300 questions and related answers, as well as online "oracle" for objective evaluation of any system throughout the year, not only during the challenge.
