[Martin Krallinger]

2020)

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

http://temu.bsc.es/multilingualbio2020/

******EXTENDED DEADLINE: 21 February 2020*******

The second edition of MultilingualBIO, at the LREC 2020 Conference
<https://lrec2020.lrec-conf.org/en/>, is a unique opportunity to promote
the development of biomedical text processing resources and components in
languages beyond English, exploring the use of novel methodological
advances, e.g. transfer-learning techniques such as contextual embeddings,
for a diversity of tasks in the domain, including machine translation.

In this workshop, we plan to address issues, such as the following (but not
restricted to):


   -

   Building of MT systems adapted to the biomedical domain.
   -

   Production of multilingual corpora in the biomedical domain.
   -

   Creation (and translation) of multilingual biomedical glossaries,
   ontologies and terminological resources
   -

   Application of transfer-learning techniques across tasks in the
   biomedical domain, such as contextual embeddings.
   -

   Extension of the coverage of the normative terminologies to languages
   other than English (e.g. ontologies from the Open Biomedical Ontology
   repository like HPO, LOINC, MEDRA, UMLS, SNOMED-CT, RxNorm etc).
   -

   Dealing with localization issues, including adaptation to local
   varieties of international languages (UK vs USA English, Spanish from Spain
   and Latin America or USA, etc.).
   -

   NLP and text mining applied to health, biomedicine and related domains.
   -

   Medical named entity recognition and grounding systems beyond English.
