Connectionists: Call for Participation: BioCreative VII 2021

[Davy Weissenbacher]

*Updated Call for Participation*

BioCreative VII Challenge and Workshop <http://www.biocreative.org/>

Previous iterations of BioCreative have provided invaluable resources for
advancing state-of-the-art text mining methods, including reference
datasets and system evaluations in both shared and interactive modes.

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered the development of text mining tools to
support ongoing research efforts and address the wave of COVID-19
publications. Accordingly, BioCreative VII presents an interactive track to
provide developers of COVID-19 text mining tools with feedback from
potential users in the research community and announces a new track
addressing multi-label topic classification to support the curation of
COVID-19 literature.

   -

   *(**NEW**)* Track 4 - COVID-19 text mining tool interactive demo
   <https://biocreative.bioinformatics.udel.edu/tasks/biocreative-vii/track-4/>
   -

   *(NEW)* Track 5 - LitCovid track Multi-label topic classification for
   COVID-19 literature annotation
   <https://biocreative.bioinformatics.udel.edu/tasks/biocreative-vii/track-5/>


The sudden spread of COVID-19 has challenged the biomedical community to
identify potential drug treatments quickly. Thus, BioCreative VII
previously presented three tracks focusing on the detection of chemicals,
drugs, and related substances:

   -

   Track 1 - DrugProt: Text mining drug/chemical-protein interactions
   <https://biocreative.bioinformatics.udel.edu/tasks/biocreative-vii/track-1/>
   -

   Track 2 - NLM-Chem Track: Full-text Chemical Identification and Indexing
   in PubMed articles
   <https://biocreative.bioinformatics.udel.edu/tasks/biocreative-vii/track-2/>
   -

   Track 3 - Automatic extraction of medication names in tweets
   <https://biocreative.bioinformatics.udel.edu/tasks/biocreative-vii/track-3/>


The workshop will take place sometime during the first two weeks for
November 2021. See individual tracks for their timelines and
