Connectionists: Workshop: IberHeLT: IBERIAN HEALTH AND FOOD LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGIES

Tue Sep 14 04:26:35 EDT 2021

[image: image.gif]Greetings,

We invite you to attend the IBERIAN HEALTH AND FOOD LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGIES (
IberHeLT <https://sites.google.com/campus.ul.pt/iberhelt2021/home>)
workshop, held in conjunction with the XXXVII International Conference of
the Spanish Society for Natural Language Processing, *on September 21st*.

There is a pressing need to generate more efficient access to food and
nutrition-related information applied to health-related content through
text mining and natural language processing technologies.

NLP technologies can be highly relevant for automatic extraction of key
concepts and entity types of relevance for health and clinical food
language technology applications such as food safety (food poisoning,
contamination, allergies, food-intolerance, food-drug interactions,
food-borne diseases, and patient dietary records).

Most of the current resources and research in clinical and biomedical NLP
and text mining is still done mostly on data in English. And adapting and
applying such tools to food and healthcare data in Spanish and other
languages like Portuguese or Catalan is not straightforward.

The objective of IberHeLT is to foster research both at the theoretical and
at the level of practical, real-world applications of food and
health-related NLP technologies applied to a diversity of textual data
types and languages. As well as to cover contributions from industry and
companies working on food and healthcare textual data.
