2nd Workshop on Multilingual Biomedical Text Processing (MultilingualBIO 2020) 16 May 2020 – Marseille, France – co-located with LREC 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. February 21, 2020: Extended paper submission deadline March 13, 2020: Acceptance notifications April 2, 2020: Camera-ready and final programme of Workshop Proceedings Three types of submissions are invited: - Research papers, describing original research; these can be either long (6-8 pages, not including references) or short (3-4 pages, not including references); - Project notes, describing recent, ongoing or planned projects (2-4 pages including references); - Demonstration notes, accompanying demonstration of software, tools, or systems (2-4 pages including references). Organising Committee: - Maite Melero, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain. - Martin Krallinger, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain. - Marta Villegas, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain. - Jordi Armengol-Estapé, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain. - Aitor Gonzalez-Agirre, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain.
