answering
(part of the CLEF 2015 QA track to take place in Toulouse, France, 8-11
September, 2015)

The BioASQ challenge consists of two different tasks (Task 3a and Task 3b).
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 3a (large-scale biomedical
semantic indexing).
More information at http://bioasq.org/participate/challenges#Task3a.
If you are working in any of the following areas:
* Question answering from unstructured and structured data
* Single and multi-document summarization
* Information retrieval and passage retrieval
* Semantic indexing, semantic similarity and reasoning
* Machine learning, classification, learning to rank
* Named-entity recognition and disambiguation
* Information extraction, fact checking, relation extraction
* Textual entailment
* Natural-language generation
then BioASQ Task 3b (biomedical semantic QA) is relevant to your work and you
are invited to participate.
Important dates:
* Task 3a: Second batch is starting on March 9, 2015. New data sets will be
released weekly and you can join anytime.
* Task 3b: Starting in March 11, 2015 and releasing a new batch of test
questions every two weeks.
