CALBC – the ChallengeProceedings and presentations of the CALBC Workshop II are now available. CALBC (Collaborative Annotation of a Large Biomedical Corpus) is a European Support Action addressing the automatic generation of a very large, community-wide shared text corpus annotated with biomedical entities. We propose to create a broadly scoped and diversely annotated corpus (about one million Medline immunology-related abstracts annotated with different semantic types) by automatically integrating the annotations from different named entity recognition systems. To collect the annotations from as much different systems as possible help is needed from all interested research groups. Therefore two challenges are organised. The CALBC Challenge II continues the efforts of the CALBC Challenge I. You can participate in Challenge II without any consideration or participation in Challenge I. Participation and BenefitsParticipation is open to any team that is willing to submit annotations obtained with their own named entity recognition or concept identification system. Participants will receive an assessment of their results against the SSC through a fully automated analysis. If you train NER solutions against the SSC, which will be made public available, you will be able to identify a large number of semantic groups from any other corpus. You can contribute a different type of annotations (more specific, more general) to the challenge and therefore receive an assessment against the current SSC and at the same time you are contributing to the next SSC. The resulting corpus can be exploited for different goals:
