The BioASQ challenge consists of two different tasks (Task 2a and Task 2b).
If you are interested in any of the following areas:
* Large-scale and hierarchical classification
* Machine learning
* Semantic Indexing, semantic similarity
then you may want to participate in BioASQ Task 2a (large-scale biomedical
semantic indexing).

If you are interested in any of the following areas:
* Question answering from unstructured and structured data
* Single and multi-document summarization

* Semantic indexing, semantic similarity and reasoning
* Machine learning, classification, learning to rank
* Named-entity recognition and disambiguation
