<div>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 --
