Introduction

摘要

BioNLP 2013 has accepted 11 outstanding full papers and five posters. The themes in this year's papers and posters are divided equally between clinical and biomedical text processing. In addition to the customary research in practical and theoretical issues, such as domain adaptation, question answering, temporal relations extraction, and evaluation of text mining methods, this year, we see a growing body of research in languages other than English. The issues with clinical text processing in resource-poor languages are also discussed in the keynote presentation.
