BioCreAtIvE II - Evaluation workshop

A detailed description of the evaluation workshop (registration, venue, call for papers and workshop program) will be provided soon.

The workshop will take place the:

23rd -25th of April 2007 at the Spanish National Cancer Center (CNIO), Madrid Spain.

The basic aim of this workshop is to discuss the obtained results, both in general as well as in detail. Participants will have the opportunity to present their systems and to discuss obtained results.

Participation at this workshop is not limited to participating groups, so we encourage assistance of NLP, bioinformatics as well as biology domain experts. Nevertheless members of participating teams will have preference for registration at the evaluation workshop . It should consist in an opportunity to discuss interesting strategies, point out future tasks/demands which are biologically meaningful (based on feedback of domain experts and biological database curators).

The workshop will be characterized by the following types of talks:

1) Invited speakers relevant to the workshop topic,
2) Evaluation of the task submissions by the task organizers
3) Short system description talks of selected number of participants
4) Pannel discussions

Soon a call for papers and posters will be announced including the submission guidelines and format.

Note that we also prepare poster session to allow participants to explain in more detail their systems.

The workshop program together with a system description summary and the poster abstracts will be published in the workshop booklet.

The workshop proceedings articles (5-7 pages) will be reviewed by a Scientific Committee.

The Biocreative Evaluation workshop will be sponsored by the European Science Foundation (ESF), Functional Genomics Programme.
