The BioASQ challenge consists of two different tasks (Task 6a and Task 6b).
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 6a (large-scale biomedical semantic indexing).
More information at http://bioasq.org/participate/challenges#Task6a.
If you are interested in any of the following areas:
- Question answering from unstructured and structured data
- Single and multi-document summarization
- Information retrieval and passage retrieval
- Semantic indexing, semantic similarity and reasoning
- Machine learning, classification, learning to rank
- Named-entity recognition and disambiguation
- Information extraction, fact checking, relation extraction
- Textual entailment
- Natural-language generation
then you may want to participate in BioASQ Task 6b (biomedical semantic QA).
