the Seventh International Workshop on Health Text Mining and Information Analysis
EMNLP 2016 Workshop, Austin, Texas, USA
The Seventh International Workshop on Health Text Mining and Information Analysis provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers interested in automated processing of health documents. Health documents encompass electronic health records, clinical guidelines, spontaneous reports for pharmacovigilance, biomedical literature, health forums/blogs or any other type of health-related documents. The LOUHI workshop series fosters interactions between the Computational Linguistics, Medical Informatics and Artificial Intelligence communities. It started in 2008 in Turku, Finland and has been organized five times: LOUHI 2010 was co-located with NAACL in Los Angeles, CA; LOUHI 2011 was co-located with Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME) in Bled, Slovenia; LOUHI 2013 was held in Sydney, Australia during NICTA Techfest; LOUHI 2014 was co-located with EACL in Gothenburg, Sweden; and LOUHI 2015 was co-located with EMNLP in Lisbon, Portugal.
LOUHI 2016 is soliciting papers describing original research. Papers must describe substantial and completed work but also focus on a contribution, a negative result, a software package or work in progress. The areas include, but are not limited to, the following language processing techniques and related areas:
We welcome submissions on topics related to text mining of health documents, particularly emphasizing multidisciplinary aspects of health documentation and the interplay between nursing and medical sciences, information systems, computational linguistics and computer science. We also encourage submissions reporting work on low-resourced languages, addressing the challenges of data sparsity and language characteristic diversity.
Submissions go through a double-blind review process, where each submission is reviewed by three program committee members. Accepted papers will be presented by the authors in a regular workshop session either as a talk or a poster. All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Similar to previous LOUHI workshops, authors of selected papers will be offered the possibility to submit extended papers for potential publication in a special issue of a high-impact journal, e.g. BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making as for LOUHI 2014.
Louhi 2016 will only accept electronic submission via its START submission system (https://www.softconf.com/emnlp2016/LOUHI/). The submissions should be in PDF format and anonymized for review. All submissions must be written in English and follow the EMNLP 2016 formatting requirements (available on the EMNLP 2016 website). We strongly advise the use of the Word or LaTeX template files provided by EMNLP 2016: http://www.emnlp2016.net/submissions.html.
The submissions should be written in English and anonymized for review and must use the Word or LaTeX template files provided by EMNLP 2016.
