Call for Participation
https://www.i2b2.org/NLP/Coreference/Call.php
This year we are excited to coordinate two groups who have conducted shared tasks: i2b2 and the VA, and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Together, these groups will hold one task this year, that has two tracks, an objective and subjective analysis.
Track 1: is on co-reference resolution. Participants will be asked to mark concept mentions, including pronouns, as co-referent or not. The data for this track are provided by Partners HealthCare, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (MIMIC II Database), University of Pittsburgh, and the Mayo Clinic. These data are fully de-identified and manually annotated. More information along with the organizing committee and other important information can be found at www.i2b2.org/NLP/Coreference.
Track 2: is on sentiment classification.
Participants will be asked to
find emotions in suicide notes. The data come from a collection of
over 1,000 notes that were written by people who have died by suicide.
The data are hand annotated. This track is supported by NIH Shared
Task 2010 - Analysis of Suicide Notes for Subjective Information Grant
Number 1R13LM010743-01 and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical
Center. More information can be found at
