Linking Literature, Information and Knowledge for Biology

Special Interest Group on Text Data Mining
In association with ISMB 2004, Glasgow, Scotland

This meeting has the aim to bring together researchers developing text data mining tools and related language processing methods to manage the information explosion in the biomedical field. It includes invited and contributed papers, with a focus on developing shared infrastructures (tools, corpora, ontologies, see for example Natural Language Processing in Biology ) and challenge evaluations, in the style of the KDD Challenge Cups. This year, the BioLINK SIG meeting will focus on resources and tools for text mining, with special emphasis on the evaluation of these tools. We have invited speakers in the following areas:

 
 
 

Program

The BioLINK Text Data Mining SIG will take place from 9:00- 17:30 on July 29, 2004 at ISMB2004 in Glasgow, Scotland.

The final program + handouts are accesible here.

 
 
 

Accommodation

The venue will be held together with ISMB04, thus the Text-Mining registration will be as well along with the ordinary ISMB04 registration. ISMB conference rates are extended to cover the extra day required to attend this meeting.
 
 
 

AbstractSubmissions

We are now actively soliciting submissions related to resources, tools and evaluations from members of the text data mining community.

If you are interested in presenting a paper on text mining for biology, particularly focused on resources, tools or evaluation, please send a 2-4 page abstract by May 3 to Lynette Hirschman
