question answering*****
(the BioASQ Workshop, will take place in EMNLP, Brussels, Belgium, October
31- November 1, 2018)

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).

Important dates:
* Task 6a: You can join anytime from February 05, 2018 onwards. New data
sets will be released weekly.
* Task 6b: You can join on ANY of the following dates:
