<h2 class="widget-body">Introduction</h2>
<p class="quote-content">The application of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in the general English domain has seen enormous progress over the past decades, progress that was largely enabled by availability of tools and resources that could be shared, reused, and improved in multiple projects and collaborations. Applying NLP to the textual content of patient electronic health records (i.e., clinical text) is limited by strict patient privacy and confidentiality laws and regulations. These limitations render access and sharing of resources (e.g., annotated text corpora) and tools based on this clinical text (e.g., trained machine learning algorithms) very difficult. As a consequence, the impact of NLP on clinical and translational research is limited. Despite these difficulties, several research teams have succeeded in creating and then sharing resources based on clinical text. Our general objective with this pre-symposium is to enhance the awareness of these resources and tools within the biomedical and clinical NLP communities and improve the reusability, portability, and interoperability of these tools and resources.</p>
<h3 style="margin-left:20px"> <strong> Goals of the Pre-symposium </strong></h3>
<p class="quote-content"> After participating in this event, attendees should be better able to:</p>
<ol class="quote-content" style="margin-left:40px">
<li>Implement constructive feedback on their graduate research efforts</li>
<li>Discover and understand existing and available clinical and biomedical NLP tools and resources as well as the latest advancement in the field</li>
<li>Users will gain hands on experience using tools they have been trained on during the pre-symposium</li>
<li>Providers (tool developers) will have acquired better understanding of the usability and robustness of their tools and areas for improvement. </li>
</ol>

<!-- Program -->
<div id="program" class="widget widget-speakers">
<div class="container">
<div class="widget-header">
<h2 class="widget-body">Program</h2>
<p class="quote-content">The pre-symposium will be divided into three 2-hour sessions, with a graduate student consortium (i.e., ‘doctoral’ consortium also open to Masters students), where students can present their work and get feedback from experienced researchers in the field, followed by highlight session, where significant articles will be highlighted and discussed, and then practical implementation and testing of NLP tools for practical NLP tasks in a ‘codeathon’. The allocation of time will be adjusted based on the number of attendees and the number of submissions received. We also plan to invite poster submissions so a larger group of participants can present their research work.</p>
<h3 style="margin-left:20px"><strong>Session 1 – <span style="font-size:20px">Graduate students consortium and poster session (120 minutes):</strong></span></h3>
<p class="quote-content">A selection of students will present their work and get feedback from experienced researchers in the field. A call for submissions will invite graduate students to submit applications for a podium presentation of their graduate research work (in the biomedical and clinical NLP fields). Four selected students will each have 15 minutes for presentation and 15 minutes for discussion with a panel of ten established experts and researchers in biomedical and clinical NLP (Hongfang Liu, Rong Xu, Jon Patrick, Guergana Savova, Chunhua Weng, Pierre Zweigenbaum, Dina Demner-Fushman, Ozlem Uzuner, Hua Xu, Stephane Meystre).</p>
<h3 style="margin-left:20px"><strong>Session 2 – <span style="font-size:20px">NLP highlights (120 minutes):</strong></span></h3>
<p class="quote-content">A selection of the existing significant NLP related efforts will be highlighted in this session. We will invite researchers to submit their significant research efforts including those published, in press or projects under development in the past 12 months. The presenters should identify themselves as the corresponding authors during the submission process, and accepted presenters are required to personally present their work.</p>
<h3 style="margin-left:20px"><strong>Session 3 – <span style="font-size:20px">NLP tooling “Codeathon” (120 minutes):</strong></span></h3>
<p class="quote-content"><em>Ease of use</em> is a very important aspect greatly influencing the adoption and ultimately the success of any tool. In the case of NLP, while many of the currently available tools are feature rich, their usability remains a problem as can be seen by the numerous questions on the forums regarding installation of the tool itself and usage of modules. Therefore, this session aims to improve the field of NLP tooling by bringing together the community of tool developers and users to provide hands-on experience of using the tools to solve specific tasks and explore areas of improvement in usability</p>
