IberLEF/SEPLN: CFP MEDDOCAN track & task prize: named entity recognition and sensitive personal information identification

Sub-tracks: 1,000€, 500€ and 200€ (first, second, third team)

Task description
Clinical records with protected health information (PHI) cannot be directly shared as is, due to privacy constraints, making it particularly cumbersome to carry out NLP research in the medical domain. A necessary precondition for accessing clinical records outside of hospitals is their de-identification, i.e., the exhaustive removal (or replacement) of all mentioned PHI phrases.

The practical relevance of anonymization or de-identification of clinical texts motivated the proposal of two shared tasks, the 2006 and 2014 de-identification tracks, organized under the umbrella of the i2b2 (i2b2.org) community evaluation effort. The i2b2 effort has deeply influenced the clinical NLP community worldwide, but was focused on documents in English and covering characteristics of US-healthcare data providers.

As part of the IberLEF 2019 (https://sites.google.com/view/iberlef-2019) initiative, we announce the first community challenge task specifically devoted to the anonymization of medical documents in Spanish, called the MEDDOCAN (Medical Document Anonymization) track.

In order to carry out these tasks we have prepared a synthetic corpus of 1000 clinical case studies. This corpus was selected manually by a practicing physician and augmented with PHI information from discharge summaries and medical genetics clinical records.

The MEDDOCAN task will be structured into two sub-tracks:
• NER offset and entity type classification
• Sensitive span detection.

Publications
Teams will be invited to send a workshop proceedings systems description paper, similarly to previous IberEval events.
We plan to invite selected works for full publication in a Q1 Journal – Special Issue devoted to MEDDOCAN. Invitation to the special issue will consider multiple aspects such as performance, novelty of the system, availability of the underlying system (software/web-service) as well as the workshop presentation.
