The BioASQ challenge consists of two different tasks (Task 4a and Task 4b).
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).
