BioCreative IX Challenge and Workshop: Large Language Models for Clinical and Biomedical NLP
BioCreative IX Challenge and Workshop: Large Language Models for Clinical and Biomedical NLP at IJCAI 2025
The BioCreative IX workshop will run with IJCAI 2025, August 16-22, 2025, in Montreal, CA. The workshop seeks to attract researchers interested in developing and evaluating automatic methods of extracting medically relevant information from clinical data.
Three challenge tracks are available: MedHopQA, ToxHabits, and Sentence segmentation of real-life clinical notes. Team registration is open until April 30th, and participants can submit papers on relevant topics, including the development of benchmarking datasets for clinical NLP and the use of LLMs to streamline annotation tasks.
Selected papers will be invited for a journal special issue, and all submissions will be considered for poster presentations and tool demonstrations at the workshop.
- MedHopQA: Develop LLM-based systems that can answer multi-step reasoning questions involving diseases, genes, and chemicals.
- ToxHabits: Extract information related to substance use and abuse from clinical content in Spanish.
- Sentence segmentation of real-life clinical notes: Detect sentence boundaries in MIMIC-III clinical notes.
