W25: Natural Language Processing Working Group Pre-Symposium: Applications, Methodologies, and Ethics of Biomedical and Clinical NLP
Presentation Type: Workshop/Tutorial
Natural Language Processing Working Group Pre-Symposium: Applications, Methodologies, and Ethics of Biomedical and Clinical NLP
Presentation Time: 08:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Abstract Keywords: Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval, Educational Collaboration, Clinical Decision Support
Working Group: Natural Language Processing Working Group
Primary Track: Foundations
Programmatic Theme: Clinical Informatics
Natural Language Processing (NLP) for clinical and biomedical narratives is one of the well-established, yet rapidly growing and constantly gaining popularity areas of Medical Informatics. As this research field expands, the need for broader community engagement and resource sharing continues. As a result, the AMIA NLP-WG Pre-Symposium became a venue where AMIA researchers with an interest in NLP come together and focus on the issues that augment the NLP-oriented presentations and events during AMIA Fall Symposium. These workshops have provided significant learning opportunities for newcomers to the field and have supported the advancement of the state-of-the-art and sharing of resources and applications. In support of these goals, the AMIA NLP working group pre-symposium continues the tradition since its inception in 2012 to provide a unique platform for close interactions among students, scholars, and industry professionals who are interested in clinical NLP. Last year, the NLP Pre-symposium was well-received with a full house of more than 250 audiences and tickets were sold out early in the registration. This year, we continue the tradition with a half-day, in-person workshop featuring two focused sessions: 1) NLP Applications in Clinical Decision Support and Patient Care, and 2) Ethical and Methodological Considerations in Clinical and Biomedical NLP. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with leading NLP researchers from academic institutions and NLM, explore cutting-edge technologies, such as large language models (LLMs), and discuss the challenges and opportunities in the new era of generative AI.
