We are happy to announce that the first test for BioASQ task 4b (biomedical
semantic QA) will take place in a few days!

 

If you are interested in any of the following areas:

 

* Question answering from unstructured and structured data

* Single and multi-document summarization

* Information retrieval and passage retrieval

* Semantic indexing, semantic similarity and reasoning

* Machine learning, classification, learning to rank

* Named-entity recognition and disambiguation 

* Information extraction, fact checking, relation extraction 

* Textual entailment

* Natural-language generation 

 

then you may want to participate in BioASQ Task 4b (biomedical semantic QA).

Important dates:

* Task 4b: You can join on ANY of the following dates:

  - March 09, 2016

  - March 23, 2016

  - April 06, 2016

  - April 20, 2016

  - May   04, 2016.

 

Additionally, we would like to remind you that BioASQ task 4a (large-scale
biomedical semantic indexing) is running a new test every week.

 

If you are interested in any of the following areas: 

 

* Large-scale and hierarchical classification

* Machine learning 

* Semantic Indexing, semantic similarity 

 

then you may want to participate in BioASQ Task 4a (large-scale biomedical
semantic indexing).
