CLEFeHealth2012 - The CLEF 2012 Workshop on Cross-Language Evaluation of Methods, Applications, and Resources for eHealth Document Analysis

CLEFeHealth2012 is the CLEF2012 workshop on cross-language evaluation of methods, applications, and resources for eHealth document analysis. Its focus is on written and spoken natural-language processing with the use scenario of people using ICT tools to analyse and integrate eHealth documents across languages, genres, and jargons. The significance of workshop lies in taking steps toward systematic evaluation and continuous improvement of eHealth ICT. The target audience of CLEFeHealth2012 is interested in syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of electronic health documents, their intelligent re-use, their automated analysis, and evaluation of the analysis methods. The potential participants represent academia, industry, healthcare, and government. The programme of the workshop consists of three invited talks on collaborative datasets, resources, tools, and infrastructure by Australian and US researchers; a panel of Austrian, Finnish, Irish, Swedish, and Swiss experts in eHealth; eleven paper presentations; and three workshops for roadmap development, student mentoring, and partnership building, respectively. CLEFeHealth2012 invites you to develop with us a roadmap towards this vision of using systematically evaluated ICT tools to analyse and integrate eHealth documents across languages, genres, and jargons. The workshop takes place in Rome, Italy on Tuesday 18 September, 2012.
