BioASQ - Task GutBrainIE: Gut-Brain interplay Information Extraction
The Task GutBrainIE aims to foster the development of Information Extraction (IE) systems that support experts by automatically extracting and linking knowledge from scientific literature, facilitating the understanding of gut-brain interplay and its role in neurological diseases. The task is divided into three subtasks. In the first subtask, participants are provided with PubMed abstracts discussing the gut-brain interplay and asked to extract named entities about the gut-brain interplay from PubMed abstracts. In the second subtask, the participants are asked to identify binary relations – i.e., presence/absence – between any pair of entities they extract within an abstract. In the third subtask, the participants are asked to link extracted named entities to the corresponding concepts in a reference ontology. The submitted runs are evaluated based on Precision, Recall, and F1 measures for each subtask using gold annotations created by domain experts. You can join anytime from Feb, 2026 onwards.
The dataset for the GutBrainIE task includes circa 1,000 PubMed abstracts annotated by experts with entity mentions, corresponding concepts in the reference ontology, and binary relations.
The BioASQ Task GutBrainIE is co-ogranized with the University of Padua.
