The BioASQ challenge consists of two different tasks (Task 4a and Task 4b).
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 4a (large-scale biomedical
semantic indexing).
More information at http://bioasq.org/participate/challenges#Task4a.
If you are interested 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 you may want to participate in BioASQ Task 4b (biomedical semantic QA).

Important dates:
* Task 4a: You can join anytime from February 8, 2016 onwards. New data sets
will be released weekly.
