2018 n2c2 Shared-Task and Workshop -- Track 2: Adverse Drug Events

We are pleased to announce that Track 2 of the n2c2 shared task will be starting next Monday, July 23.

This task aims to answer the question: “Can NLP systems automatically discover drug to adverse event (ADE) relations in clinical narratives?” The task builds on past medication extraction tasks, but examines a broader set of patients, diseases, and relations as compared with previous challenges. The task consists of three subtasks:

Natural language processing (NLP) has played an important role in
several computer science areas, and requirements engineering (RE) is not
an exception. In the last years, the advent of massive and very
heterogeneous natural language (NL) RE-relevant sources, like tweets and
app reviews, has attracted even more interest from the RE community.

Second Call For Papers for BEA13:
The 13th Workshop on Innovative
Use of NLP for Building Educational Applications

https://www.cs.rochester.edu/~tetreaul/naacl-bea13.html

Co-located with NAACL 2018
New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

The BEA Workshop is a leading venue for NLP innovation for educational applications. It is one of the largest one-day workshops in the ACL community. The workshop’s continuous growth illustrates an alignment between societal need and technology advances. NLP capabilities now support an array of learning domain knowledge, including writing, speaking, reading, science, and mathematics, and the related intra- (e.g., self-confidence) and inter-personal (e.g., peer collaboration) domains that support achievement in the learning domains.

One-page proposals are invited for the annual Frederick Jelinek Memorial Workshop in Speech and Language Technology (JSALT). An interactive peer-review meeting will refine and select proposals to be funded for a 6-week residential team exploration to be held in Baltimore, MD, USA (tentative dates June 25 to August 3, 2018).

There is widespread agreement that AI has grown over the years into a fragmented landscape of sub-disciplines with a narrow focus. Specialisation has certainly facilitated great advances within the sub-disciplines and AI overall, but fragmentation has created a silos mentality which hinders cross-fertilisation and further advancements within AI.
